Sydney Roosters - State of Origin Period

[bondi paul]

Teddy likely picked and if so I’m curious to see how our backline performs should he not play a regular club game. Not having a dig at him but sometimes he is just too involved and so scattered on the field that he more often dies with the ball.

[lordteddy]

Collins form has been sub par this year and I would really be surprised if he gets picked. There are enough QLD props ahead of him at the moment that I don't think he gets a look in.

At the moment he is lucky to be picked for us, can’t remember one good thing he has done. Remember some dumb things though.

I tend to agree, but he is coming off an ACL injury so im willing to be patient with him throughout this year with the hope he can get back into the form that saw him get picked for QLD in the first place.

My concern if he doesnt is that he quite likely becomes Dylan Napa II.

[DP1990]

Can't see Angus and Lindsay being picked so it'll only be Teddy.


Slot Manu into Fullback and bring Billy Smith or Vuate Karawalevu into the backs.


We'll be fine !

I have high hopes for Collins but his brain isnt in his knee. Unless you can put down his lateral miss on korisau to him regaining confidence in that joint, he has too much of SKD mentality about him atm.

That 6 again he conceded, then stood there looking confused. There's no time for that in that situation. After hearing Robbo talk in the presser about Jared, they confirm what I believe they know about Sutton.

6 AGAIN!

I tend to agree with you in that he is a dumb player at times, but significant injuries like an ACL really do play a big role in player performance from a physical and mental perspective. There is a bit of literature online particularly around the mental effects of ACL injuries on professional athletes. The lack of 'one percenters' that SBW used to preach in Lindsays game may be a byproduct of that.

But I might also be giving the injury too much credit for what may just be poor play Lindsay being Lindsay. I guess we will find out because guys like May are going to be knocking down the door for his spot come next year.

The idea that Crichton gets picked for Origin1 is absurd.

Has been in awful form for some time.

If it happens, it'll be damning of Fittler and/or whoever else is involved in the selection process.

It'll be confirmation that Origin is starting to regress back into that 'picking the same blokes' mentality becazuse they got da 'origin mentality'.

To make it crystal clear, i'm referring to the ape-like old boys approach to selecting a squad, rather than doing it on merit.

The era when Gallen was captain was full of it.

[roosterproud]

so who plays where next week

1 Manu
2 2poo
3 Momo
4 Keighran
5 Joe
6 walker
7 Keary
8 Jaz
9 Hutcho
10 Sio
11 Egan
12 Sitilli
13 Nat

14 Watto
15 Baker
16 May/ Whyte
17 DSF
18 Lam

This is if Teddy, Lindsay, and Chrichton get the call to ori9in. Shit 2poos form could give him a shady chance of making it too. if thats the case Billy Smith or Tom Carr would fit

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Tupou has to be a chance

[ChookMaster]

We’ll be okay. Collins might not make the side, same as angus but we shall see

[Horry]

Raiders - No Papalii and Wighton.

[King Salvo]

Raiders - No Papalii and Wighton.

Strange decision by Freddy - Wighton to play cente and Crichton to the bench and Hynes 18th player

Roosters will be without 3 players - Tedesco/ Tupou (NSW) and Collins (QLD) - Suaalii should be able to play and rejoin the NSW Squad after the Sunday game.
