I think many of us are just hoping we do not get thrashed but have a close game.



I do not think we will get thrashed, and I feel the game will be closer than most anticipate.
If the game is close , even if we end up on the wrong side of the ledger, it will be a win for us.
I am a Roosters supporter, and believe in the team
The last 2 games have been good, and we were the better side when we lost to the Dragons and Bulldogs.
So I am not expecting anything different this weekend
That's why I am going to the SCG on Saturday, to watch them.

If we put in and turn up I’m hoping we can give them a tough night. We have many awesome players just need to get our combinations right. Would love to hang onto our 4th spot.

Ever since he first watched Shawshank Redemption!

Worked out for Andy Dupre

DSF sin-binned , poor discipline

[Waylander]

Egan will come in for DSF. Collins is now starting, SST moved to lock. Nat to second row. May to debut from the bench.

Who rotates with SST at lock? Gus and Butch play 80mins, May and Baker play up front. Egan goes to 13 I suppose. I like him on an edge.

I’d move Nat to lock when SST needs a rest, Egan comes on at right side back row.

Bears 17-12 down to table topping Panthers atm, still some time to go. 3 tries all Keighran 2 tries but no conversions!

Update: Trent Robinson has trimmed his team list ahead of tomorrow night's huge clash with Penrith.

Sitili Tupouniua, Ben Marschke, Naufahu Whyte, Kevin Naiqama and Adam Keighran come out of the side this week.

Tupouniua's absence sees a reshuffle in the forwards, with Nat Butcher moving from lock to the edge, while Siosiua Taukeiaho takes Butcher's place at lock.

Lindsay Collins comes into the starting side in the front row, while Terrell May will make his NRL debut and become Rooster #1209 off the bench.

The remainder of the team is unchanged, with the final 17 to be confirmed one hour prior to kick off tomorrow.

Keen to see young May debut in such a big game

Penrith 17 Bears 12 full time....doh! Big effort missing their best player this year.

Interesting!!! I'd assumed that DSF was a certainty to play for Easts after his form last week. Meh... guess Collo's back and we need back rowers instead?

Who's that mate?

Also is Karawalevu dropped (with Billy Smith & Keighran playing?) Or, is he injured?

Terrell May.

Not sure if Karawalevu is injured or not, would possibly be squeezed out anyway with Billy playing Reggies. Can't find a Silktails team named this weekend to confirm, the King might know.
