Match Thread - Sydney Roosters vs Canterbury-Bankstown Bulldogs

[ROC181]

JWH doesn't seem too fired up these days. Love the big fella but I want to see the agro back. Hopefully it comes as the season progresses.

I can't recall seeing him breaking through defences like he used to before the ACL. Now he runs hard but their defences stops him and push him up and backwards. Not sure if we'll ever see the old JWH back.

We need to give the big fella time to get into the season and most players don't really start to regain their normal form until about 18 months after the injury is sustained.

Jared normally starts pretty slow even in 2015 and builds up his match fitness and form over the course of the season. I hope and expect him to go up another level mid season.

Agreed.

From personal experience ACLs can be a real **** to get over. Psychologically more than anything.

RTS looks like he's hit the ground running but everyone is different. Different positions too.

He also traditionally takes a few rounds to heat up so let's see how he's going by ANZAC Day.
