Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Knights

[Thirteen]

Let’s back up our solid performance from last week. Our pack is just about as strong as it gets. We need to dominate in the forwards and our brilliant young half will ride us home to a comfortable victory.

Hope to see some of you out there.

Go Roosters!

[zac]

always good to wake up on game day. go easts!

[Waylander]

Looking forward to a solid performance. We need to keep building towards some big games coming up.

[Tommy Smith]

A potential banana skin of a game, especially given the absence of Tedesco.

The Knights will likely make the bottom half of the top 8 and at home you can never take them for granted.

I don't think there'll be much in it, but I think we can get on top with our strong pack and bench in the last 20 min.

The Jared 2.0 version off the bench is laying waste to the opposition and I love it. He's still the Big Dog when fully fit. Add SST off the bench too and we should be able to overwhelm the Knights if we don't have the dropsies.

Roosters by 12.

I'm hoping that the knaughts don't put a cheap shot on Walker the way they did on Keary a couple of seasons back.

Also hoping for a hat-trick to Toops with a kissing of the badge as he runs through for his 3rd

[Mad_Rabid_Rooster]

I am hoping that we can back up last week's solid display and put in another classic Rooster performance up the M1 tonight. We need to build momentum to keep in touch with the competition's leaders and heavyweights. Fire up you mighty Roosters for tonight, fire up! I think Easts by 12.

I am looking forward to getting there early and watching The Bears.

Wonder if Suaalii plays? Hope he's not sitting out totally this week...needs game time after missing last year.

For sure. I don’t want him as 18th man.

[Johnny Brass]

The forwards should be able to more than hold their own against the Knights and the backs to provide the polish. Knights have improved with Ponga and Best their two best players but I'd be disappointed if we don't beat them
Easts to win.

[mattyh]

easts to win, by 8...

[zac]

For sure. I don’t want him as 18th man.

he's in the 19 so he won't play for the bears

[Jacks Fur Coat]

On the game, we need to be ready for a decent battle here. Knights were very good against Penrith for the majority of the game last week and that form would hold up well against us.

Hopefully we can take some momentum from the strong showing last week and continue to build.

Another opportunity for Joey to play his footy from the back, he will be looking to make the most of it.

Could be tight...Easts by 6.

Ideal game to blood him on the wing IMO.
