Roosters vs the Vermin match discussion

[fletch]

who knows if its on the money but the late mail has SST dropping out having not fully recovered from the hamstring strain, probably a sensible decision given we have the bye next week, gives him a further 2 weeks to fully recover, Butcher is tipped to come onto the bench.

hope we show a bit more fight than we did against the Sharks, going to be tough to win with the guys we will have missing, Robbo somehow needs to shore up that edge defense, could be carnage if the Vermin run numbers at Latrell/Manu.

not sure if JWH is carrying an injury but we sure could use one of his barnstorming performances tonight, we desperately need him to lead from the front.

SST out is a real nail in our coffin.

Not good news re SST. Hopefully we still have enough firepower to beat them. Are the vermin really that good?

no they aren't great, its just we are severely understrength tonight.

[Tommy Smith]

Resting SST is the right decision as we're very long odds tonight anyway so no point risking our best middle forwards long term health

[chopstiks]

I can't see us winning with or without SST tonight.
I don't fear Souths I fear us.

Nail on the head. How many tries have we gifted opposition as opposed to them simply just being better than us?!

[2 weeks]

Latrell seems to be very close to Watson, so i'm hoping they make the most of the rare opportunity of playing 80 minutes together, & rip the vermin a new one.

[The Brain]

The two marshmellows will save us Evans and Liu..... Bwahaha expecting a flogging but miracles do hsppen

[fletch]

NRL.com late mail claiming we are going in unchanged tonight, so who knows what is going on with SST.

[Bigchook]

Watson will cop a hammering without cordner and sst running hard.

At least we have Guerra..

It's dire straits when I tip the vermin so I can feel good about something if we lose gaaaaaaah, why can't we play the Knights tonight

Because it would be worse losing to the wooden spooners.

Because it would be worse losing to the wooden spooners.

Personally, I'd rather that than the scum.

Looking for a massive game from Keary tonight, also need Jake to chip in with the kicking but not overplay his hand. Did Cornish make the final 17?

[The Lip]

Keary will be up for it but if the forwards have us playing in our own half all night he cant do much about the result. Run hard, tackle hard, kick to corners. that's about all robbo needs to tell them tonight because we haven't managed to do that in the last three games and anything else confuses us lately- back to basics with desire! KISS.
