Official Match Thread - Sydney Roosters vs Manly-Warringah Sea Eagles

[The Skeez]

Refresh my memory?

From 20/3/18

"I've been working at the Roosters now for three years so I think it's all just a bit of skulduggery.
"I was in Monday, they did a little bit on attack, Tuesday they've got off, I'll go in Wednesday and do some stuff with Cooper and Jake Friend and also [James] Tedesco, working on some combinations and the rest of the weekend I'm working on the footy."
"We [Cronk and Johns] weren't even talking about Newcastle, we were talking about Latrell Mitchell, how to bring him into the game, but I'm sure some got a chuckle from it.
"Mainly it's just working on those combinations between hooker, halfback, five-eighth and fullback."

You tell me how the combos are going.

Sorry for for not being able to locate more from his other specialist halves coaching roles, but they have hardly been noteworthy considering his standing.

Im just hoping to see some good old fashioned front door, heads up Roosters style footy.

Er......we'll know when we see it.

[eddie]

The only one I have confidence in is Andrew Johns.

Things aren't that bad , are they???

[eddie]

Er......we'll know when we see it.

When the scoreboard hits 30 with 20 minutes left to play?

[The Brain]

Big ambitions by fans-Latrell 1st try ,latrell second try ,latrell 3rd try thats all weve got so far.

New halves pairing at manly, they gotta pour some concrete and get the foundations ready, if manly use similar builder to the roosters, there should be no chance that they should come close to building their house before ours, roosters house 30, manly house 10.

[easts4eva]

Forwards run hard and offload, Friend pass straight, Cronk kick well, latrell and Teddy run riot. Good arvo all round.

lol Milanja.
My sarcasm detector has gone off the scales.........

[John Corey]

Is anyone in any doubt that Manly will come out firing? Adversity can really fire teams up.

Besides that, I have no idea how this game goes. We could smash them. Or get smashed.

Kudos to Trent for naming Baptiste for this game,we will see a difference today..
Due to the fact of willingness to tweak his attack
