Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[Mickie Lane]

See you out there Thirteen.
Go the Roosters.

I just hope one of Cleary’s zits doesn’t explode onto one of our players. Last thing we need is even more players out for the season.

Is there a vaccine for that?

[Dr. Voodoo Man]

I’m hoping Suuali plays as he’s a powerhouse in defense and awesome in attack. He can help make the game a contest. Verills is a great addition but if he’s feeding players like Suuali it could be an interesting night. Hope Robbo plays him.

I'm really enjoying watching Joseph. He seems to be getting better every time he plays.

[Spirit of 66]

They're not on the same side.

My bad. How about Suaalii (if he plays)?

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Clearysil.

Massive ask, not impossible, highly unlikely we win this, as Thirteen said ‘we play for pride tonight’ that’s all we can ask, I count the days we get to play these muppets at full strength seriously we haven’t been at full strength in over 18months anyway do us proud boys.

Go Easts!

[Teddy]

Joey Manu if your reading this, we need that Manu Magic more then ever tonight.

should be ikuvalu and suaalii on that side

[horrie hastings]

Just wonder if Cleary will be a bit tentative carrying the facial injury he has, when he was interviewed two days ago he still had a blood spot in his eye ball, he wont want to be hit around the head so hopefully he might go into a bit of a shell.

That thing does look unstable. Any cuts around the eyes are bad business, especially the cheek. That skin isn't thick like on the body.

Hopefully he bleeds like Nick Diaz.

Hes very special. Made some incredible tackles last game. We’re getting to the stage that he’s too good to leave out.

It might give them the extra boost he seems to have.

[Johnny Brass]

Going to be really up against it tonight and I fear the worst if we go in with Lam and Keighran as our halves pairing. Will be good experience for some of our youngsters up against a classy team in a hostile environment, I'm expecting Klein to give us a caning with some repeat set 6 agains late in the count. Fair play to the hardy souls venturing west to support us tonight.
Easts to win.

Darn tootin' its not impossible. I think people are focussing on who's out, rather than who's in. Thats not who we are as a club.

Tedesco, Tupou, Manu, Suaalii, Crichton, Liu, JWH, SST, Verrils...and younger bucks who are in the system for a reason. Unless Penrith are one of the best teams seen in decades, we should go in with a quiet confidence.

If we had the Bulldogs roster, I may share your pessimism.
