Only 90 minutes to kick-off.

Wonder which team will turn up?
The A team or the B team.

Wonder which refs will turn up?

LMFAO, that's Gold Red.

Roosters now up 20-12 after 46 minutes

RTS 1 try and most metres gained of anyone on the park, has footwork very much out of the Shaun Johnson/Benji mould, just needs time to develop and could well be our long term fullback.

Thought the NYC kids would win this one easily, they were $1.20 favourites before kick-off and against a very inexperienced side, come on JT fire them up.

Sydney Roosters
TEAM CHANGES: @Danmorts will play 5/8, @ant_mitchell1 comes on to the bench and @BraithAnasta is OUT. Peni Tagive drops off the bench.


CONGRATULATIONS to Mitchell Aubusson who will captain the club tonight for the first time. Well deserved #allinallseason

[SConcierge]

I expect the Roosters to win tonight considering the Soft has nothing at 6-7-1-9 tonight.

Aubbo named captain, not Mini. Wow - big call. A good one with 2013 in mind methinks.

Mini deserves it, but we need the captain in the hub.
Good luck Aubbo.

I doubt it would be the teams that take the field, at this rate lol

Carney/Mortimer/Mitchell all playing, I have a bad feeling about this game now, just don't know where the creativity is going to come from, no-one with constant off loading ability, no-one with speed/footwork, certainly going to have to rely on go forward/bombs/ball control.
