BREAKING: @sydneyroosters confirm Siosiua Taukeiaho is out after pulling up sore in the warm up with Lindsay Collins to take his spot in the front row and Josh Curran to debut from the bench. #NRL

gaaaaah we're cooked

[fletch]

That's 6 guys who have played international football out now Friend/SST/Manu/Morris/Hall/Liu.

This game now becomes a no pressure free shot game, if we lose we know we have plenty of troops to come back, if we win it would be a massive shot of confidence for the young kids playing tonight.

A few rookies thrown in the deep end.

Let's see what they've got.

Yep. If we win it’s an all-time special.

Nobody seems to be mentioning how understrength we are. The bench boasts 19 games combined.

I’m looking forward to it.

My prediction is storm by 4. Will be close but the inexperience will kill us in the end, almost like 2016

[Jacks Fur Coat]

No excuses, what an exciting challenge awaits.

Erin Moylan does a pair of tight black leggings justice.

Underwear worn as outerwear is not good fashion.

Vossy rates Curran very highly, best backrow prospect he’s ever seen apparently.

Keen to see his debut.

[bondi.boy]

If we start like we did last week..."ordinary"...bad passes, dumb passes, forward passes, dropped ball etc...we'll get thrashed.
Radley throws one forward pass and he should be sacked from dummy half.

I think we're cooked, but the pressure is all on the storm. If we lose no biggie, they lose its huge. Go out there and make them work for it my brothers yeeeeewwwwww

Not worth risking injured players though.

We're in with a good chance if our players produce their best footy.

If Storm get penalties like Souths did today, we have no chance.

Works for Superman

I do worry about our defense tonight, we have been sloppy defensively early this season and adding so many kids isn't likely to help things.

Agree in principle but my heart says Cronk to put on a masterclass , Keary another blinder and Latrell to go ballistic . And **** i hate the storm. Good luck boys . Up the Chooks !

[Rocky Rhodes]

Too many outs.....storm good things......oh well, try to enjoy it anyways
