SQUAD v TIGERS

[Thirteen]

Not quite how it works. He'll recover pretty quickly, but the rigors of being bulldozed by 105kg backrowers every week will definitely have an impact on a guy of his frame until he puts on some weight.

I don't think we'll rest anyone though, except possibly Teddy. He's definitely due for a spell.
I'd prefer if we got the match sewn up and just took him off with 30 to go, though.

Yes this would be ideal.

The source stated in the Fox Sports article is the Daily Telegraph, so it is almost certainly pure speculation from one of the DT's so-called "journalists".

Take it with a grain of salt.

Did they gain any advantage in loaning us Ollie and sending Nofoaluma to the Drizz?

Like... presumably it's either a long game (e.g. when we have surplus they'll get it) or they want the said players to be challenged by our systems?

Ollie scored 4 tries or something for the Bears. Be interesting to see him play... although all of our backline's in great form.

Except Suaalii, who lets tries in down his wing * all * the time.

robbo said lindsay is tracking well after the concussion and sounds like he's a definite starter at some stage

• Interchange for Wests Tigers
• 14 Fonua Pole
• 15Austin Dias
• 16 Tom Freebairn
• 17Alex Seyfarth

Would any of these guys make another NRL side?

Surely the Roosters get the win.
Its got to be at least a 20 point win & hopefully no injuries. Actually I'll take a 1 point win with no injuries.

Update | Trent Robinson has trimmed down his side 24 hours ahead of kick-off.

One change has been made to the starting side, with Oliver Gildart set to make his Roosters debut after coming into the centres in place of Paul Momirovski in jersey no.20.

Kevin Naiqama is the side's 18th man, while Fletcher Baker remains on the extended bench.

presumably momo is out injured. still, good to give the new bloke some game time in firsts for cover in the future.
robbo often goes with a back as 18th man, so unlikely teddy will be rested.

[BraveTheWorld]

Surely Momo is injured. It would be extremely weird otherwise, I think?
Anyway, should be good to see Gildart get a run. I hear he's a pretty good attacker, at the least.

Can't take anyone lightly as they have nothing to lose

We don’t beat tigers given what’s on the line, we don’t deserve to play finals. Based on our recent footy, gotta say we win comfortably

[Lydon]

Gildart will have a field day against the Tigers tomorrow night, playing behind our pack and outside our halves he will think all his Christmas’s have come at once..

[Mickie Lane]

Gildart in the centres perhaps after his 5 try effort for the Bears vs Knights in NSW Cup - equaled Grantley Bennett's 5 tries in match for North Sydney back in 1937.

Will have something to prove to Wests Tigers

Well said King

[Snapn1]

Let's Go!!!

[RoosterFanNZ]

congrats gildart!

would've liked keirghan to get a run but oh well.
