Official ANZAC Day Match Thread: Roosters v Saints

[Johnny Brass]

Very touching 13 , quality post.
Dragons have been in form and hook has them playing with plenty of aggression and spirit.
I think the boys can lift us over the line in what should almost be a full house by all reports.
Very happy to have verrils back as I'm sure our forwards will be as he provides quality service from dummy half with his passing game.
Easts to win.

I always think of Barney Dalton on this day every year.

Suaalii starting at fullback for Norths today also good to see Naufahu Whyte is back after that ankle injury.

always an emotional day with sacrifices made by so manly to allow us to live the lives we live today.

on todays game , no prediction from me, we are up against it today.

as always go chooks.

Great day to remember our fallen and the sacrifice this country was built upon. Some awesome posts here today. Wish the boys well. It’s a big challenge for us.

Simple message: lest we forget and up the Chooks.

Who will do the goal kicking?

[Bahrain Rooster]

Verrills to the bench, not a surprise considering he’s coming off an ACL injury. Great to see Collins starting though.

I was thinking if they got 40 or 50 from Verrils that would be the maximum and would also cost only 1 interchange - leaving 7 hopefully for the forwards - Liu/Collins/JWH/Baker rotating plus Crichton/Radley/Sitili/Butcher rotating.

Robbo needs to call on the reinforcements so All 4 benchies need to be used today

[Salvatori Grubber]

Lest we forget.

Best day of the footy calendar.

You!

I’m hoping Walker steps up. I’ve never seen his kick but the experts on here reckon he’s a gun.

[ChookMaster]

I figured so when the teams got announced verrilis wouldn’t start.. just not a robbo thing to do good to see Collins starting also

[The Skeez]

I’ve got a feeling they will fire a salvo today to the rest of the comp.

Unfortunately I've got the goal kicking ability of a prop (not sst sadly)

I've seen a few of his kicks in nsw cup games, goes all right. guess it just depends if robbo wants to give him more pressure or if he will let teddy have first crack

Sam W practicing goal kicks....
