Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[The Lip]

Momo out with a calf injury (same as TKO) and Watson out with a shoulder (that’s what they’re saying) that he did against the Cowboys. I think both not bad injuries, rather Robbo opting this is a good game for both to get some extra time to recover.

Thanks for the info it's hard to find

I think we should win this one comfortably, No complacency and we will win, good to see Verrils back

warriors by 4 sticking with my trend ...

[Thirteen]

Surprised to read that Warriors have it over us in head to head 22-20 with one draw. We need to turn this around. Not a good stat against a shit side like them.

[The Brain]

Be interesting to see which roosters side turns up...on paper we should win comfortably.

[ChookMaster]

Let’s go boys.. time to stamp our authority on the competition and let it be known that we are here!! Huge day for it with the older lads coming down big crowd in hopefully ( I will be there of course ) and a good dry track so plenty of points. Teddy to have a big game and excited to see both Joseph’s today! Huge game for Manu and finally time to unleash Suaalii.

Cmon boys.

How good is it to be playing at 2 instead of having to wait around until 7.30 or 8?

2007 - 31 all draw.

That was a rollercoaster of a match.

[Johnny Brass]

Looking forward to watching the return of Sam and Big Joe into the line-up even though I'm not sure if left centre is his ideal position.
We should have too much footy in us for the Warriors in what should be very good conditions.
Easts to win

The Sydney Roosters have finalised the side set to take on the New Zealand Warriors at the Sydney Cricket Ground this afternoon at 2pm.

A number of late changes have been made to the side, with Kevin Naiqama moving into the centres as Joseph Suaalii goes onto the wing in his first game of the season.

Angus Crichton and Drew Hutchison come into the starting forward pack, with Sam Verrills and Nat Butcher reverting to the interchange.

Lachlan Lam retains his spot as 18th man.

Naiqama to centres is going to make me lose more head hair than I care to. Let us hope we outscore them cause defence is going to be leaky down that side!

We always struggle against the Warriors so they are kind of a bogey team. I’m hoping today won’t be another frustrating close one. I’m also looking forward to seeing Suaalii play. Go Chooks! A nice easy win on Easter Sunday would be great.
