Taupau

This is the Roosters best chance to get their first win on Saturday night. Roosters will have had a 10 day turn around whilst Manly will have had a 5 day turn around, it is a home game for the Roosters & Manly will be without Taupau & Lawrance according to 2026.
Hopefully the Chooks can do it.

Manly still have DCE, walker, Stewart, lyon. Along with myles, matai.

Their defence was very good last night, we may struggle to score again in this match if our forwards don't get an upper hand early.

The Roosters should know that DCE will replicate Thurstons performance & attack Nikorima so like I said in another thread I would start with 7 forwards & bring Niko on when the time is right.
Manly not playing at Brookie plus no Taupau & Lawrance & a short turn around is our best chance.
