Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Saints

[Thirteen]

I think the game is a lot more even than the bookies have it. If Liu is out then surely they become favourites.

I wish we had a few more regulars for Maubs' 300th but hopefully the boys do it for him.

Easts by 2 and I will have no nails left by the end of the game....hands and feet ffs.

Now Liu? What's wrong with him?

Poor Aubbo - saw a post on facebook saying he lost his debut game, 50th game, 100th game, 150th game, 200th game and 250th game

Lets hope this tread ends tonight :| but looking at our line up...

But he won the important 3 of 4 grand finals.

True

Didn't see him in the Captain's Run photos so hopefully he just sat out the session rather than not playing.

Dragons forward Paul Vaughn under investigation for breaking the NRL bubble. He confirmed he ate breakfast at an Illawarra cafe today. Suggestions he used another name to sign in. Likely to be stood down from game tonight.

Liu is there. He's wearing a jumper and a blue hat.
Most photos of him are from behind against the tackling bag with Friend and Hutchinson

Heard this as well. Hopefully we can get up for him tonight!

That would be helpful.

I hope the Dragons are super complacent tonight. They should be.

The Dragons only really have McInnes and Dufty that are a threat. I know we've been off lately, but we do seem to always come out ahead at the end of the game. Hoping we can do the same tonight, although a strong win would also be good. Aubo deserves it.

Hunt usually has his annual decent game against us.

You're right. Dragons also only pull their fingers out when McGregors job is on the line.

Hey guys, I use the forum often but I never post anything. I know its not relevant to the topic but has anyone had any difficulties in grabbing tickets for the Melbourne game next Thursday? I enter our 5 membership codes and it comes up with ‘entitlements exhausted’...help!

[Johnny Brass]

Going to be another tough match for us during this current injury crisis. I would be tempted to move Mr Fix it Aubo over to left centre to mark Lomax as him and Dufty look to be their most dangerous attackers and our left edge with Butcher, sitili and Hall had defensive deficiencies last week.
We will need big games from our guns and we still have some of the best players in the world in their respective positions.
SST has been superb all year and will look to him to lead the way up front and Collins has to step up as a starting prop.
The class of Teddy,Keary and Manu to get us home in a tight one.
I'll be happy for no further injuries and to get out of the gong with the two points.
Big night down there with the footy and Dapto dogs on at the same time....
Easts to win

I’m keen to see what the refs are trying to enforce this week. It’s one of the disadvantages of playing Thursday, that you can’t alter your game to adapt to the changes. They’ve been keen to avoid teams jumping early in defence last few weeks. Ash Klein tonight.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Toups, B Moz, J Moz, JWH, Cords, Angus, Rads and Sammy V all missing, we can still win, but it will take a mighty effort and will be remembered for a bloody long time.
