Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[ROC181]

I hope we can score 2 tries every 10 minutes so when I watch the replay I don't have to fast forward to the tries, so that's about 12 tries for us...sounds just about right!

[ROC181]

Ideal game to blood him on the wing IMO.

Well apparently he has been doing his exams and I assume the club wants to be seen as 'helping the young man'...Education, who needs it ? .

But there will be so much media interest in his debut, why would the club want to give all of that free promotion on an away game? Suaalii will debut at our home ground and the club will get all the rewards.

he's a special to be 18th man

Geez hope not...bit of a waste.

They might only hold back one non playing reserve with the games back to back, same ground.

once upon a time there were heaps of roosters in the knaughts team. now theres 2. now they dont go so well. hmmm

anyhow its nice that baker is 18th man and joseph is there to experience game day with the boys

I don’t think they would because anyone could do a hammy in the warm up, from a Fullback to a Front Rower. Need to have the ability to have the right player available for a late call up.

bit of a risk to play suaalii in the early game with no backs on the bench so you'd figure he's more likely to play in the starting 17 than for the bears but 18th man seems most likely

I know many think this is irrelevant, but we have Cecchin as ref. That's a rarity for us. Like all refs he makes mistakes but I believe he's the least biased and fairest ref in the comp by a long stretch. Could come in handy at the Knights home ground.

This will be a hard game for us, bit of a bogie team . No dog shaggier but not sure if that,s a advantage to us or them. Still Roosters to win and win well

ANyone know if bears game streamed?

Don't think so unfortunately.

Suaalli hasn’t been named for the Bears….

I expect a close game . As mentioned knights kept close to the Riff at their home ground . Knights home ground advantage worth a few points. Go the Roosters , can't wait !

Baker also added to bears team - so I would say Suaalii 18th man but who knows, will be in if there are any late injuries
