Round 17 Team List v Raiders

[rozza]

I'm surprised Keary is back so soon but anyway good to have him back in the team along with Aubo and Crichton.

[Kramer]

It's on the NRL website.

Have to feel sorry for Faamausili thought he had his best game as a Rooster against the Broncos tough to miss out after that performance.

Im sure that giving his spot for SBW would be an honour for him. He would be relishing the chance to even train with Sonny! He will take a lot out of that experience like many others have in the past.

[ROC181]

That’s the side that has been named on the Roosters home
page. I’m surprised Keary is back & I think if Angus is fit then he will come into the 17 for Sitilli.
Strong team that I think will be to good for Canberra.

No way Jose! Sitili will be on. I’m thinking Butcher might make way!

[Thirteen]

How long does Sonny get off the bench?
Do they bring him on at the back end of the half?
Or wait until the second half to ease him in?

I reckon he will get about 15 mins before halftime and about 15 into the second half.

I don't see us as strong favourites because we have already lost to Penrith, Storm (twice) and the Raiders who are realistically our only challengers for the title.
Most of them games were lost from winning positions as well and so the focus and attitude needs to be spot on to hopefully keep that top 4 spot.
I am hoping this is where we switch on and raise up a notch or two because this is where it gets serious. Back when we played the Raiders at the SCG, I remember the camera showing their dressing room and they looked up for it. Then it showed ours and there was TKO flexing his biceps and having a laugh with the lads and I kind of thought we were in for a tough night and so it proved.
I don't know why some on here take the Raiders lightly because they are a tough and skilled lot and trust me, it won't be easy on Saturday night but we can beat them if we bring our A game. I reckon anything less won't be good enough.

The Raiders are a great side. Only a fool would take them
lightly. If anyone seems to be taking them lightly it’s probably just a show of faith in our great side.

Note to team, if the ref calls you offside make the tackle anyway. Concede the penalty and move on, the 2013 team says hello.

[FREEMAN89]

Wouldn't mind seeing Silly Farmer head back to the Warriors for another short stint.

Will do him good to get some more minutes into his legs consistently.

I’m a fool. We will pump them.

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

What a good looking line up! I didn't realise that Luke would be back and Jake playing again this week. It is still going to be a challenge, but I am somewhat more confident than I was.

[Tommy Smith]

We are about to flick the switch in a fashion reminiscent to 2002.

If our injury woes are behind us then the competition are in trouble; especially a fraudulent Raiders team.

[JAF]

I got super excited when I saw the team list - if we run out as listed, we will be unstoppable!!

[Rooster_6]

Final side?

Aubusson comes in for Lussick, Crichton in for Tupouniua who fights it out with Butcher for the final bench spot.

Probably on my own but if Lam is healthy come finals time I would like to see him on the bench
