SQUAD v BRONCO'S

[roostermcgregor]

The roosters had better treat the Broncos with respect because any team with Haas and Capewell in the forwards could be a handful.
If the Broncs get field position ,and a sniff of a chance, you can bet Staggs, Farnworth and Tesssi Nui with convert that advantage into points.
They would not have managed to knock Sousffs over, if they were hopeless.

i remember last year , we were huge favourites against them and lost and then won by a penalty in the next game .

not a given .

Yes mate. Was the last to get on the bus. Was too busy chatting to fans. Jarred and Toops were second last.

Thanks mate was wondering if he had returned because the team hasn't released their usual pre game coaches media interview yet.

I’ll be in the away supporters area section 316. Pretty shitty corner seats but I’d rather be with fellow Roosters then redneck Queenslanders.

I’ll also be at the players meet and greet on Thursday arvo. If anyone will be there let me know.

Hope you had a safe trip up and have a yell at my redneck relatives for me .

Hands off she’s Mine, a great song !

Ha yea? Who sings that?

[stringaz]

Careful boys. I worked with her dad. Great guy. And a large human.

And damn he is proud right now. As he should be.

Nice, a whopper from a copper eh? Might have to pull up the bootstraps.

Yea Nah Yea she goes good, hope they get the dub on Sunday.

SST out with Atoni coming into the 17.

Update | The Sydney Roosters squad has been reduced 24 hours prior to kick off.

Siosiua Taukeiaho, Adam Keighran, Sam Verrills, Joseph Suaalii and Fletcher Baker come out of the side this week, leaving Naufahu Whyte and Lachlan Lam on the extended bench.

Renouf Atoni comes onto the bench in jersey no.19, with Lindsay Collins promoted to the starting side.

[fletch]

If I had to guess it is a calf issue for SST.

[Waylander]

SST is out. Lindsay to start with Atoni coming onto the bench for his Roosters debut.

Whyte & Lam remain in the 19.

[Roostajohn]

Fletcher Baker is on the bench not Atoni according to the updated list.

[Bahrain Rooster]

Roosters website is listing Baker in the #24.

[mightyrooster]

So that explains why SST didn’t return to the field last week. That’s a big loss as he’s been our best forward so far this year.

Thought so. He wasn’t involved in the Captains run and while sitting down on the sidelines watching, a few of the staff came to him and looked like they were consoling him.

[stringaz]

Shame about tauks, interesting to see how Atoni goes if in the side, never seen him play.

[Waylander]

There is some confusion over SST’s replacement. The Roosters app is reporting Atoni in, but the Roosters website has Baker. The NRL website has not updated the squad lists. I’ll try to verify and update this thread ASAP.
