Roosters vs Cowboys Match Thread

[rented tracksuit]

You reckon the heat will favour the cows? I'm concerned they will be able to climatise to it better than our boys.

I do but I still think we can overcome them. It's the humidity that would be a more telling factor if it was high.

weirdness

2013 we were unbeatable, many games were held to nil, an armchair ride

2017 ??? How did we get this far? This year I have yet to see this team with it's best lineup fit to go

Neither have I seen them put up a rock solid team performance

Most of us have finger cramps from this white knuckle ride

Surely tonight? a lot to expect, ......& more anxious than nervous

Hopefully we devour them like we did to the Riff and the Titans in 2010.

[ROC181]

I hope we play smart tonight specially by attacking a busted Winterstein and Hess, and O'Neill is good for a few errors under pressure.

[Tommy Smith]

Nooooo!!!

Toops on the bench. Fark.

This game just got a lot closer.

So much for being fully fit!

[fletch]

Robbo obviously has doubts that Toups would be able to go 80 minutes, he won't play unless we are chasing points in the last 20 minutes.

[Team Evil]

I think they want Matterson to help with the early hit ups.

In the heat I would have rather had toops starting and allow matto to rotate with the forwards.

[Tom Verlaine's Ghost]

Bugger. Very disappointing.

[mightyrooster]

He can't be fully fit to be named on the bench again.

[fletch]

He can't be fully fit to be named on the bench again.

would be willing to bet he has groin surgery as soon as our season ends.

[ROC181]

I think they want Matterson to help with the early hit ups.

I'm thinking Robbo is opting to cover the likes of Feldt and Linnett first but if anything Toupo should get some serious time to get him matchfit to the grand final. No point wasting a spot on the bench for someone his not going to use.

[stringaz]

Hope he goes better than Darius last night

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

Not sure if you guys have heard. Matt Scott is definitely out

[ism22]

Fensom starting for Cows... Hess not 100%? Light forward pack 1st with the hope of having heavy back-ups?

Hmmm all BS games.

Surprised with Toops on the bench though! Didn't think it added much having a busted winger in the last game.
