Strange. I thought I saw that Edrick and Frizell are out injured.

[Rooster89]

Hopefully May gets more than 7mins Gametime.

He's been destroying it in NSW cup in a weekly basis.

He deserves some game time after being 18th man on a few occasions.

Hey R6, Luke is back where he belongs on his natural side. Some of us have suggested this should have happened months ago. Thoughts?

[Juggler]

Will believe Keary is back when the final team sheets come out...

[Mickie Lane]

Every team lifts when they play the Roosters & on paper the Knights have a formidable forward pack & have the x factor in Ponga.
Im tipping the Chooks but I also tipped them in rd 1 with a fully fit team.
Im glad Keary is playing & at 5/8.

The great experiment is over mate not before time either Keary will really give us some sharpness in the backline he is a great running 5/8

And he’s a much more natural passer of the ball from right to left.

Hey, he got 3 whole minutes against the Sharks a few weeks back!!

I don’t see Collins in your squad?

Concussion...back in 6 weeks....needs to retire...hehe..

Could be wrong but the whole Walker to 5/8th move was based on Robbo putting kids gloves or training wheels on him....protecting the kid from the pressures of running the team at 7.

Also Halfbacks usually at more risk of concussions than 5/8ths as they need to take the line on more...so added benefit to put Keary back at 5/8th..

[Roosterfarian]

I read today that the Keary to halfback idea was ALL Cronk’s. Robbo persevered for all this time but finally overruled Cronk.

My kingdom, my kingdom to field JWH, SST, Collins and Lodge in the same game... What a force we'd be in the middle if they all fired.


Judging by what I saw in the Dragons game, I think the 4 prop rotation is on the cards for the rest of the year.
The 4 big boppers will be used to get over the advantage line, with a quick play the ball , or offload, to speed men.
Then Verrills, Watson, Walker take over, using their speed to break up teams, right through the middle.
Keary looks like the organizer if the ball is spun out wide.
What I thought was a weakness in our team (the smaller players) , I think our coach is changing the Roosters style , to take advantage of their speed.
It might be my imagination, but I think its a response to V'landy's ball.

Lets see, I’m not convinced it has anything to do with the roles they will be playing.

I think Luke will still be the primary on the ball organiser and the primary kicker, Walker said as much when he was interviewed about their roles.

I think it’s been very evident over the past 3 games that Walker’s not up to the organisational duties required of a half yet and it has stifled his creativity - the best part of his game.

Why isn’t Lindsay Collins in the side?

Surprise surprise,Robbo rests another one in a must win game!

Started his HIA protocols on Friday last week, would only be eligible to play if it was a Saturday game or onwards assuming he passes all.

Why Friday? Origin was on Wednesday.
