Looks about right, BJ is in doubt so wasn't named. Kennedy unlucky but Conn is the better option for now.

but its good to see brian rotating mose/keneddy around. maybe next week Kennedy will come back in for conn.

Smith has got it right.

BJ is a very good young player his time will come but Graham should be there.

Also Mose ahead of Kennedy is the right call, Mose gives us more impact.

Conn also has to be there he has been great for us this year. Go back and look how many times his offloads have led to tries.

Has Smithy split the dynamic defending duo of SKD and Perrett?

I noticed the same thing. Neither flank is terribly solid though.

Also interesting to see Arona in the back row for Newtown. Maybe Smith is trying the same with him as he did with FPN?

Where is Foran?

I've been told Brian Smith has been resting players and rotating them in order for them to be fresh for the semis in case there are injuries. Sam Brunton has been rested in NYC. Tom Symonds hasn't played at Newtown despite being 18th man the past few weeks and Mose Masoe didn't play last weekend although he was right to go. It's a good idea IMO and it's a long season and we'll be better for it come semi finals time.

lopeni needs a go too ..

Who would you drop for that to happen? All our forwards are in pretty good form at the moment and none of them deserve to be put back to Newtown.

I think we are letting go of foran he would have been great depth player but other teams need him a whole lot more there was talks of him movoing to faders not sure what happened there or hwo else he has been linked to obviously some one has spotted his talents he was really good in a game i saw for newtown demanding a quick play the ball every time from the person that played the ball he done every thing write

I'm not at all surprised the Roosters are losing Liam Foran and it won't surprise me to see the Roosters lose a few more players in both the Jets and NYC sides.

the tigpies are desperate for a halfback, they even wanted our finchy for a while?

I'd like to see Ryles rested once we qualify for 8. Good to see him fresh for finals footy - we need him in good condition
