Team announced!

[melon....]

Perfect opportunity for Toddy to come back with a bang against a dodgy backline
hoping FPN drops to the bench with Symonds starting and Riddel out, Arona in

he wont do anything. Their pack of 6 will own our pack of 5 plus the lead sinker.

[Vasco]

Naughton gets his chance.

Has Conn been dropped?

[Vasco]

Thats a very young back line with a very crap fullback. i hope the Moth doesn't throw too many hospital passes and kills these kid's confidence.

A la Steve Meredith?

At least don't change the game plan - we're playing pretty good football in terms of field position, discipline and defensive wise, its just that we're not executing when we get the opportunity too.

Dragons and Titans only just got us late really

[Horry]

Is that Cordner's first game in NSW cup? Is that considered an upgrade from NYC lol?

[Spanner in the works]

Naughton gets his chance.

Has Conn been dropped?

Looks like it. Same with Graham and Carney. I wouldn't be surprised if Ryles was too.

[rooster_booster]

I wonder if Carney will kick for goal?

[Guest]

Strong Newtown line-up this week... Are both Conn and Ryles injured???

Happy with Roosters backline, except replace Mini with Pritchard maybe? Mataka deserves his go as well. I hear he has been tearing it up in NSW Cup..

[Vasco]

Interesting that Cordner has been "promoted" to the Jets.

[Vasco]

Looks like it. Same with Graham and Carney. I wouldn't be surprised if Ryles was too.

I just don't want to see Graham running on in jumper no.19.

I don't know that they are. Smith said he'd make changes, and dumping players to Newtown is not exactly the biggest punishment. Graham and Carney aren't playing for Newtown either, so I think he may have actually dumped some footballers.

[Geohood]

Carney is though

[Guest]

Forward pack is so lightweight... I am sick of the thought that the deadweight is still there... Myles and JWH belong in the backrow and Mini and Anasta in row 47. BJ should be in the Centres and Linnett outside him on the Wing.

Agree with this. Anasta farks the balance of this team. There is no place for him in the team. I cant see him making metres and/or a signicant number of tackles from the second row

We are going to miss Kennedy's metres up front. Mose and Lami will need to step up when they get on

[Geohood]

Will love to see Mose and Tasi defending as a tag team destroying everyone in their path.

Geez I hope we win.
