roosters vs sea eagles match discussion

[fletch]

well not long now until our only dress rehearsal before round 1, listening to some interviews with Fitzy/Holbrook it sounds we are concentrating on our structure/composure so wouldn't expect too much free flowing footy tonight.

obviously most eyes will be on how RTS goes at fullback and how Fergo goes in his first game in our backline.

in NYC we won 24-20 despite missing quite a few of our best players.

we are currently down 8-0 in NSW cup.

Just got here. The wife and kids decided not to come (the only reason we came up here this weekend was so we could watch Easts) and it appears Wyong were down 14-0 at HT, before coming back to be 14-12 with 20 to go.

Feels really trippy watching us run around in green. But it's not us. It's a Holy Union of leagues clubs. Whatevs. I wonder if cliques exist between peeps.

keep those updates coming SG when the main game kicks off.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Will do my best.

In addition to the dudes you mention, 'm looking forward to watching Aubbo and Hor-Ju.

Manly win 20-12. As much as we all love the idea of Reserve Grade, it is - and always has been - like watching 34 tapirs pushing each other through 3 feet of mud for 80 mins.

Yea hella keen for some footy, was hoping a radio station might spit something out while its going. Any updates would be much appreciated.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Nene is big. Reminds me of Hodges and that can only be a good thing (as long as he doesn't have his personality, too).

[Salvatori Grubber]

Pearce has that weird haircut we used to get in the 90's. Kind of like a slicked-back undercut, but boofier.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Is this what you mean by updates?

[Salvatori Grubber]

Kane Evans has shoulders smaller than Thurston's.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Boyd Cordner's bum chin just caught a cut-out pass in warm-up.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Hastings putting up high kicks to Rog, like Jason Taylor used to, to Mini.

I noticed on the Roosters twitter feed that they have been getting heaps of questions about whether the match is televised, I noticed the Storm lives treamed their trial against the Raiders and tonight the Tigers are streaming their trial with the Sharks.

hopefully next year the team at Roosters HQ explore the possibility of live streaming our trial against the eagles, in this digital age it is what fans crave, especially if they are taking the game away from our traditional supporter base.

[fletch]

Is this what you mean by updates?

any observations would be great, especially once the action starts.

[Salvatori Grubber]

Surely that has to be standard doctrine for any top-line sports club. C'mon Nick and the Billionaire Board - fire up!

Edit: re streaming.

Seems like amissed opportunity to live stream the match for members here...
