Down from Sydney for the game. Very chilly in Canberra as expected. Would love to see the rain hold off, albeit highly unlikely. Jared out is a big loss, especially with Lindsay gone for SOO (who was hitting some nice form himself). Baker in the starting side, will need him to play well. Happy with the bench options, Watson, Butcher, May and DSF. Will need Keary to take control of the game like he did last week. If he does, we’ll win, and I say we’ll win by a fair amount. No excuses, it’s still a very high quality 17.

Can’t wait for this game.
About to settle down to watch the fight then off to bed before waking up in the morning to see the boys make Sticky cry (yes I know it’s a delayed game but it’s live to me) then to flick between the NASCAR and the Indycars.
The highlight will be a Roosters victory!FVCK CANCER

Don't see many points in the Raiders today, average looking set of backs. If we allow any more than 2 tries be surprised.
Manu, Walker, Keary and Toupinua should provide our strike, point of diff.
Missing our two props, plus Teddy and Toups wont see the precision and pretty of last week. Need to graft it out early in the cccold and wear them down.
How did Naiqama get picked? Maybe Billy comes in to centre, need to get his hands on the ball. Or maybe Robbo wants the two big wingers keeping up with the early yardage carries. And height on the flanks for the attacking kicks.
Kudos to our fans getting out there in the chill today.

Great opportunity for the young props to get some extended minutes playing at NRL level. Our halves are there, our hooker rotation is there and Joey will do a great job at fullback. If the young forwards led by TKO win the battle we should win comfortably.
GO ROOSTERS!Last edited by ism22; 06-05-2022, 02:28 PM.

Was very confident about this one prior to losing Jared. Realistically we're now down Radley, Verrills, Collins, JWH, Teddy, Toops. Gonna be tough to win without all of them, especially down in Canberra when they're playing pretty well.
I still ultimately think we'll get them, but I expect the going to be very tough. Need big ones from TKO and Keary, and for the young forwards to hold their own. Excited to see May get some more minutes.

Our biggest obstacle I think will be errors. It depends on possession and field position. We’ve got good substitutes who can do the job but players like Momorovski have made awful mistakes letting in tries and dropping catches. Him and Naiqama I see as our weak points who will be targeted.“Soon will the present day order be rolled up, and a new one spread out in its stead”- (Baha’u’llah)
