Roosters vs Panthers match discussion

[fletch]

fingers crossed for the boys tonight, going to be tough without the grunt of SST on top of the long term injuries to Cordner/JWH.

if we want to mount any serious charge towards the finals picking up a game like this will be extremely helpful come the end of the season.

our bench is obviously extremely raw/inexperienced, would expect Napa/Friend/Guerra/Maubs to have to go 80 tonight.

our NYC are getting absolutely spanked by the top of the table Panthers down 32-0 halfway through second half.

The bench is a bit of a worry. Under 20's smashed 50-4

I haven't seen much of Watson this year so can't comment, but totally agree regarding Papalii. Frei and Vunakece try hard but very rarely bend the line, Papalii had immediate impact

Shoulda kept the Pappa on the bench for the wet weather..

Interesting move potentially having 2 bench utilities in place of extra muscle. Wonder what the tactic is?

Great move taking away the U20's half right before the game?

I have a bad feeling about tonight.

why wouldnt you ? letting a little wimp like Soward do what he wants

[Danish]

Watch them suspend Liu for that "crusher", despite golden boy Matt Scott having got off 5 worse ones already this year without a charge

...and that other farkwit -Toupo must go as well
