Match Thread; Sydney Roosters v Newcastle Knights @ Allianz Stadium

[Johnny.]

I read somewhere that he is out injured.

Somebody aimed wrong, hit him in the throat. Bruised his larynx.

[Salvatori Grubber]

You'll get a sub-standard BJ with an injured larynx.

See what I did there?

Gidley to fullback, we're in trouble now!

I'd love to see Nene trample Kurt into the ground ala round 5 1990.

Chook.

I know that neither player was playing back then as Nene was minus 4 and Kurt was 12 so whom are you referencing?

I think we can pick a score tonight, even with Jenko, Guerra and Tupou out. The players filling in for them are all exciting prospects. I'd love for Moga to go to left centre, Maubs back to the backrow and Napa to the bench, while Evans to drops off. Perhaps as a sort of trial to see if Moga is good enough for FG and if so perhaps he'll be given the chance to stay.

Even if we're not at out best, we'll still win by 30. If we do happen to click it could be upwards of 50.

If we win and by how much will solely come down to how our pigs perform. If the attitude is there we could rack up a number, if not it will be a close low scoring match.

Need to win by 22 to stay in front of the vermin

Hopefully the rain stays away and the surface isn't overly wet so the boys can throw the ball around a bit.

If Moga comes into the team, is it possible we will see a switch of sides for SKD? Just thinking that pairing Moga and MacDonald next to each other will leave a massive target for the Knights to run their attack at. And it would be great seeing Moga run off SBW

[Darkone]

For an Origin round our bench is simlpy kick arse tough!!

It's the bench which ensures Premierships & I can see we're well down that path.

My thoughts exactly!

Tony Adams, AKA The Mole reporting Moga in. Evans out. Moga to bench.

Nice.

I'd put Moga to left centre, Maubs to backrow and Napa to the bench. A pairing of Moga and Macdonald would probably be a liability if we weren't playing Newcastle.

Sounds about right. Wouldnt be surprised if it happens. Hopefully it happens and its a teaser, trying to keep the kid at the Club.

probably right but think he may switch to that rather than start with that config
