[Teddy]

SST has his long waited rest well earned big fella you have carried us through the toughest injury period in all my time supporting/watching this wonderful team. Teddy has put some serious miles in those legs the last few weeks great time to freshen him up.
That team still looks deadly across the park, interesting to see how the team goes without SST, he has been crucial to us this year.
Jake shouldn’t play more then 50 mins (he played his best game last week mistake free not overplaying that was timely Jake hopefully he keep that up.

[Voice of Reason]

Give young poasa a run with butch resting up.

[Henry P is a cheat]

That bench is a bit odd, a hooker, a back rower and two locks. It would not surprise me if Liu moves to prop, Collins to the bench and Crichton starting at 13 again to give us more punch.

[Chook]

Smart coaching.

Chook.

Yea Friend does get the short straw on here at times, I will say he had a great game last week and hope he is primed for a big finals series ala 2018.

It's an odd 17 all round.. my final 17 would be more like the below

1. BMoz
2. Toops
3. JMoz
4. Manu
5. Ikavalu
6. Keary
7. Flanno
8. JWH
9. Friend
10. Liu
11. Aubo
12. Sitili
13. Angus

14. Collins
15. Butch
16. Fammausili
17. SBW

I like the idea of Manu at fullback, but not at the expense of weakening centre, Aubo shouldn't be relied upon to play 80 at centre, and Ikavalu isn't a specialist centre.

Bmoz has killed it at FB for us previously and allows manu to keep position, Ikavalu to play his natural position and Aubo to 2nd row.

I'd remove Lussick.. unless we are looking to bench friend.. but I doubt it given he played a full 80 Last week against a depleted knights team?

I'd rest Boyd, just for the sake of his career and future beyond.

Angus to lock like last week, allows Liu to move to front and try to cover the void left by resting tauks.. I don't think Collins and JWH can do it on their own, and carrying a bench with 2 2nd rowers and a lock won't cut it (My opinion)

[Larry Long Balls]

That is some bench and a great team even with players rested. SST has been immense as he has been since he debuted.

I like that side as well so I might have to have a word to Robbo tomorrow morning when I meet him
for breakfast.

[roostermcgregor]

I was watching last weeks game and I rubbed my eyes in disbelief .
The number of offlloads from our team was astronomical.
Two of the main protagonists were SST & SBW
Last year we wouldn't offload , even if our life depended on it.
Now we are the offload kings of the NRL.
Second phase play is now becoming an important part of the roosters attack.
Not complaining- our attack is becoming more unpredictable, and it must be a nightmare for our opposition to work out what we are going to do next.

[Thirteen]

Well done Robbo on going against your better judgement and listening to our opinion here on the forum. A very well earned rest for Ted and SST. I hope they spend the weekend on their couches making love to their bongs. They deserve it.

[Easts75]

When SST is back I would rest Butch until 2021
