Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Panthers

[Rooster R]

You can over experiment

[Jacks Fur Coat]

In fairness to Robbo he may have had limited choice. I think I'd prefer Sitili there than Naiqama which was probably his only other option.

[Waylander]

jeez this scoreline could be anything , the roosters look in disarray. sitili and momo in the centres defensively scares me .

hope im wrong .

You are wrong, because it’s Smith & Sitili in the centres.

kicking from dummy half ??
We cannot head into 2023 with Keary and Walker our only options with the long kick !!

I still think those 2 wont be the halves in 2023.

[King Salvo]

I’d like to know the mystery surrounding Keary. I’m sure he’s ready to go. A longer spell will affect his match fitness when he does return. He’s not much good to us resting him seemingly forever. Maybe he’s considering immediate retirement. I just cannot accept that knock has him out for so many games and he’s passed his medical. What gives? If it’s that bad then immediate retirement is the only option. We are not being told the truth I reckon. He should be playing tonight.

As the article say's he is not right to play though so best to sit out until he is.

Who do you think will be the halves in 2023?

Robbo could pull it off tonight but it shows me we are desperate. Its a worry to me all the player positional changes but the Chooks are severely under the pump so its probably worth a try I suppose.

[BigCok007]

I’m ready to get hurt again

[Bahrain Rooster]

Sitili centre, Robbo is a madman.

[Rooster90]

Sitili at centre is giving me Aidan Guerra at 5/8 flashbacks......

weakening a position just for the supposed "defensive" benefit but still putting a not so great defender there

[DP1990]

TIT

.... ?

[Johnny73]

What the hell does Adam Keighran have to do to get a run? What level of derangement does it take to put a 2nd rower with dubious defensive skills in the centres over a proven centre? One who stood up when the team was gutted by injury last year.

[Mickie Lane]

Who do you think will be the halves in 2023?

Im not sure but I think Robbo knows he has to get the best half or 5/8 in the game to the club if he wants to win more comps.
The Chooks have invested in Walker & his best footy is ahead of him so I think thy will persist with him but Im not sure what the plan is for Walker. Is he the long term half or long term 5/8?
I think that Keary will either retire or be shopped to the Dolphins.
