Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Parramatta

[Waylander]

As expected , Hutch to start and Watto to the bench. Otherwise unchanged.

[FREEMAN89]

Watch Victor to have a big game today - Victor and Brown tend to go looking for each other in these match ups and my money is on Victor.

JWH will take care of Paulo.

Teddy Versus Gutho.... no comment ha

[Mickie Lane]

The ground itself looks plenty good enough to play on.

I’m just outside the ground now plenty of sunshine sneaking through the clouds.

I’m just outside the ground now plenty of sunshine sneaking through the clouds.

That's good. Teddy is sometimes quite in wet weather.

[Rocky Rhodes]

Our forwards need to stand up for a change.

Eels by 6..

[roosterchook]

We only need to win by 6 to take 4th spot on the ladder. Please roosters let this be your statement day.

[Bahrain Rooster]

Got a good feeling about this game. Roosters by 6.

[Noosa Rooster]

I’ll take a win by 1 but a win by 6 puts us in 4th and by 4 puts us in 5th Pretty unbelievable given the scrap we’ve dished up so far this year.
Unfortuneately it’s Teddy’s 100th for us so not a good omen.

go chooks ...no expectations

[King Salvo]

The basics need to be nailed - defence needs to stop the offloads and a straight line of defence - not the staggered line /sliding wait, watch and see version/players rushing out of the line or loitering around the ruck (get back in the defensive line)

Ball control with high set completion /low errors and penalties conceded and kick and chase game.- Parra have a definite advantage with a longer kicking game and will kick early and also from Dummy Half.

Expected the conditions to be different so not sure how the ground is holding up

[ism22]

I'm gonna get maggot... farkin' winning already!!!!

PS - get farked honey badger. Nobody wants bamboo undies or a razor that shaves your ballsack.

[ism22]

Watson's a movie star BTW... somebody get him, Manu and Suaalii modelling contracts. I'd totally buy an Easts calendar.

[King Salvo]

Smoke gets in your eyes perhaps - reminds of a night game between Roosters and Newcastle Knights- fire works and the thick smoke hung around - Roosters kick off the Knights knock on and Roosters score on the ensuring set.

[SouthWestChook]

YEAH JARED! Can't happen to a better bloke.
