That bench has me hard

[zac]

seriously good looking team

[bondi paul]

Team looks great: Gee the ref with Sony Sutton in the bunker. Likely the Android will be the ref when we play the vermin.

[DP1990]

Finally ... a strong and powerful line up


That bench is lethal !!!

[Thirteen]

Good luck Melbourne!

It’s the Dream Team. Great to know we won’t lose anything when Jarred is rested during the game.

Going to be tough trying to sleep the next few nights. Can’t wait for this one.

Bring on Penrith.

[keggs1]

Strongest team we've had this year I reckon. Players coming in to form and combinations clicking at the right time.

Would Billy Smith get that left centre spot over Momo?

Would Sitili get the bench spot over E Butcher? I think Nat Butcher has been better than Sitili on the right edge tbh. Just as much attacking upside but he is much better defensively. I don't think it is any coincidence that our fortunes have also co-incided with a better defensive player coming into the fold.

[Inflictor]

On form Sitili wouldn't make the team if he came back this week.

I really feel sorry for Hutch even though I left him out myself.

[Tommy Smith]

Is that the best 17 in the comp? Only Penrith is arguably better.

Look at THAT bench!

[King Salvo]

The Roosters will have to be at or near their best to beat the Storm down in Melbourne. A Win and they are in the 8

Yes Sitili would be in the starting 13 and N Butcher on the bench replacing his Brother

Butcher has much better hands too.

I imagine if Sitili was around he'd be starting, Nat would be on the bench and Egan would be at Norths.

Momo is a lucky charm. 3 premierships with 3 teams in 3 years.

[Vee08]

Big Nelson will have nowhere to hide… he had a field day vs a soft broncos pack… he’ll have nightmares vs the RWB. Here come the Roosters…

[bondi.boy]

If Suaalii and Toops stay on their wings in defence, we don't throw intercept passes, don't take short drop-outs, don't do bat-on passes that go wrong, don't make mistakes trying to score from every play, don't throw wayward passes like Cook did...we have a good chance of winning the game.
Storm are the Premiers-in-waiting, IMO, so it will be very difficult to beat them at home.

[Mickie Lane]

It’s a top side & so are Melbourne.
Either team can win it & if it’s the Chooks it will catapult them to the Premiership.
I admire Melbourne & the Chooks are going have to play their best football to beat them they have got it in them.
Robbo & the team must be so looking forward to this, it’s dead set like a GF. These 2 teams are the teams that can beat Penrith they are the deadset heavyweights.
Go the Roosters.
