Round 3 Team v Raiders

[Vasco]

Why isn't Leilua getting early ball?

SKD will need the same service.

These two players are elusive ball runners. Time for our halves to allow them to showcase their skills.

Cordner is not an impact player, better of starting and having FPN on the bench.

We need FPN's hit ups in the middle right from the start, Cordner looks a little light weight at the moment imo to be carting the ball forward in the middle third especially at the start of the game. I suspect JWH or Guerra will play minutes at lock and Cordner will play on the fringes.

I'm not convinced by the team, I'm filled with no confidence at all after last week. I think Anasta will get owned by Campese, McCrone will run rings around Pearce and Shillo will smoke our forwards.

Bounce back factor, the bookies hate it and always treat it with massive caution.

Money to be made with those odds.

Newtown backline looks good

i like Marty and JWH starting, take it to the raiders early.

Would love Moga to start, just let him play, no pressure, just play.

This may be a generalisation, but it seems that so many ex-Roosters thrive when they leave this great club. Don't want to get into the whole "never should have let Shillo go...." debate, and yes he was asking too much dosh for what he had dished up, but this **** is ripping it up now, playing for QLD and I agree will give our forwards a lesson on the weekend. In the meantime, all the ex-dogs whose arrival contributed to pillow's departure, are gone and left Easts with nothing to show for it.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

ROOSTERS: Anthony Minichiello, Justin Carney, Joseph 'BJ' Leilua, Shaun Kenny-Dowall, Sam Perrett, Braith Anasta, Mitchell Pearce, Jared Waerea-Hargreaves, Jake Friend, Martin Kennedy, Aidan Guerra, Mitchell Aubusson, Frank Paul Nuuausala. Interchange (from): Boyd Cordner, Mose Masoe, Lama Tasi, Anthony Mitchell, Daniel Mortimer, Tinirau Arona

Id like to see Moga and Tagive replace BJ and Carney.

That would give us some strikepower to work with.

Here's hoping.

If Shillo was the Pillow...

WTF is Mose..??

Totally agree. Shillo has continued to improve. He was young, dumb and full of .. um potential lol I used to get angry thinking he was soft when he was playing for us. I guess out of frustration more than anything but he is the real deal these days and he has started the new season really well. Good luck to him.

I'll either be losing my cash and celebrating a victory or collecting at the TAB.

[Rooster_6]

He was always the real deal.

People just refuse to accept that props usually don't peak until around 24-25 years of age. See PTB's post

Much better looking team.

SKD's back, Kennedy starting and aubo back into the second row.

Mortimer or Mitchell this week??

I myself would like to have both in the side and Braith on the side line but what can u do?
