Flanagans out..

[Headless Chook]

Resting players when the side is rolling along is one thing but with the injury toll we have had this year and where we could be on the ladder in a few weeks time it's is a luxury we really can't really afford, Resting players should be viewed as more of a bonus for work well done whilst you are cruising along in 1st or 2nd spot with a few easy games ahead, not when you are probably fighting to get into or stay in contention and lets be honest here contention is really top 4.

Well Robbo has form there doesn't he. In 2018 when he rested the players against the Titans we were equal fourth on 22 points with 3 other teams. As I have said, I'm only guessing that Flanagan has been rested, maybe his foot is sore from kicking too many goal?

Can’t understand why a guy in his early 20s would need to be rested. I refuse to believe this. He must be injured.

Will be good to see what Lam has to offer in his natural position.

JFC will be thrilled. Enjoy mate.

Haha.. my dream halves combo for the Roosters! I would be very surprised if Flanagan isnt carrying a niggle though, as he needs continuity and gametime.

Moreover Robbo is doing what I thought would have to happen and play some guys who would normally be playing CC. Its insurance for injuries hitting at finals time...touchwood.

Sometimes Robbo tends to impersonate Pinocchio when it comes to answering questions about injuries. And rightly so. If for example Flanno has a rib injury, why let anyone know and make his ribs a target. I assume Robbo will just say he’s having the week off.

He is usually pretty honest regarding guys who have already been ruled out, guess we will find out but the early rumours on Flanagan is that he is being rested.

good to see josh morris is a chance of playing. completely changes our left edge defence.

And not bad from an entertainment point of view either.

I have a feeling Robbo has opted for Lam at 7 this week to ignite our attack, he has good foot work and very quick with ball in hand..

He will take the pressure off Keary and Teddy when in the opposition 20 as Lams running game will add another dimension to our attack!

Bar a few games, our attack has been pedestrian all season.

We've scored the most points and the second most tries, our attack is fine.

Yes when Radley,Tupou and B.Morris were in the side and the team was humming along..

Unfortunately since then we look disjointed and out of sync which is to be expected minus many players..

Hopefully Lam offers another dimension to our offense!

Bar a few games - Farian obviously has been locked away in a Dutch oven over covid until a few weeks ago so has only seen games since round 11

We've still had no dramas scoring pionts, it's only been the last couple of weeks when the injuries have really hit that we have struggled

We scored 44% of our points this year in the 3 games against the Broncos/Bulldogs/Cowboys.

In the 9 other games we are only averaging 20.1pts a game.

[zac]

no way flanno's been dropped.
the other concern is that cords is still out. hope it's us being ultra cautious.

Yes I should have used the word disjointed and not pedestrian. My bad.
