Team Lists for Round 4

[King Salvo]

Looks like Ikuvalu on the bench is to make the Manu move to 5/8 if needed throughout the game? Could be a late change to have Marschke in late as utility to cover hooker etc but I suppose Radley can swap to hooker if needed (although I doubt he is very match fit)

Not a great sign that Robbo doesn't seem to be confident that Hutch and Walker will last the 80 minutes but I guess it is playing it safe

Maybe more to do with giving Lussick a rest - Hutch to DH -Manu to 5/8 - Ikuvalu to wing and B Morris to Centre

[Larry Long Balls]

I can't help but think we might still end up with Suaalii in the centres, Joey to 5/8 and Hutch to the bench by kick off.

Oh god please not Sitili in the centres

I’d assume he’s confident in Hutch and Sam but maybe he’s thinking of giving Sam an early mark if need be. 80 minutes in first grade might be tough on the kid first up. I’d say it’s been discussed with Sam and the option is there if needed.

I saw the Dogs were trying to shop Dylan Napa to the Panthers as well. Both of those dudes have not kicked on.

Dillo: 'CALL ME BIG PAPPI!!!'

Kane: 'Hey bro I'm just gonna do some shadow boxing, you cool with that?'

[NorthChook]

Maybe more to do with giving Lussick a rest - Hutch to DH -Manu to 5/8 - Ikuvalu to wing and B Morris to Centre

That's true, I suppose it could be either or - whatever is needed

Lot's of mid-game shuffling but I guess Robbo has done this before and keeps the squad on their toes by training them to play multiple positions

This is really where Robbo will show his worth - great challenge

[King Salvo]

Is Marschke our halfback from the 2016 U20 GF? Interesting to see him named but I doubt he plays.

No Ben's twin brother Jesse was the Half in that GF- Both played with Newtown and then the Dogs - Both now back at the Roosters feeder Club North Sydney- Norths have a bye this week in NSW Cup.

[NorthChook]

As King said, Bears have a bye this weekend but our Jersey Flegg team plays this Friday vs Cronulla (at Cronulla, 12pm)-

[NorthChook]

Yes that is him - played with Newtown and then the Dogs also with his twin Brother Ben - Both back at the Roosters feeder Club North Sydney- Norths have a bye this week in NSW Cup.

I think Ben is the one who has been called up

Brother Jesse was the halfback of that team. Ben was part of the squad but didn’t play in the GF.

yeh i fixed the post - they are twins though

Bentley-Hope is a fair player and pretty good goal kicker - not in the side yet

That was a poor loss to the Vermin in Jersey Flegg - up 12-0 at one stage - CC Roosters thumped Souffs Vermin 54-6 in Harold Matts though- Tarsha Gale Chooks 50 nil over Parra and the CC Roosters Womens side 78 - 0 over Wenty Magpies- plus of course the CC Roosters winning both the Andrew Johns and Laurie Daley comps undefeated with GF wins. -Bears beating the Vermin too - so not all doom and gloom

As mentioned Hutchinson to hooker , manu 5/8 and suallii wing/centre

I doubt Ikavalu has anything to do with Manu, other than to provide a backup if one of the backs go down. I'll be shocked if Manu goes to the halves for any reason other than an injury.
