Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[fletch]

anymore on this? or they just mentioned it. that’s potentially concerning (again).

Commentators mentioned it during the game they said Keary copped a head knock during a full contact training session on Friday and had been pulled out of the line up for today as a precautionary measure.

I think we'll win the comp after that trial.
I like the look of Junior Pauga.
Siua Wong has plenty of wraps & I see why.
Overall it was good to see the Roosters in action & getting the win.

I have seen Wong play a little bit and am hopeful of him being okay Mick but I thought today he was almost lazy - in defence he was very lazy I thought. What did you like about his game today?

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Was it one of the Va'a boys the bald kid in number 23? Whoever that was looked good. I thought other good performers included the fullback Ethan King, Sandon Smith, May Victor as always and Lodge.

damn. seen this before. “Precautionary measure” and he had like half the season off. hopefully not more to it and he’ll be good for round 1

He looked great! Yes what was his name?

[Batemans Bay Rooster]

Jayden Nikorima was good for them, laid on a classy try and if that intercept wasn't taken they probably score and have a kick to win it

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Why no Corey Allan today does anybody know?

Still in quarantine, although Paulo played.

Moriarty as well

Xavier Va'a

[Vasco]

Thought Ben Thomas was pretty strong.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I think that was Xavier Va'a? He went pretty well.

I'd add Ben Thomas to the list, was good again today.

Thought young Sandon probably overshadowed Sammy today, certainly a better kicking game.

Wong not his best dig today, couple of misses led to tries. Although Nikorima has done that to more experienced players. Will benefit from the experience.

[Vasco]

Unfortunately not he was limping around post game with a big bag of ice on the hamstring also noticed Fletcher Baker only played a handful of minutes and was already changed at halftime so he might of picked up some kind of knock/potential injury as well.

As for the positives thought Turpin and El-Zakham both did some nice things.

I like the look of Turpin. Old school leaguie.

[King Salvo]

The Roosters have 28 of 30 players signed for the NRL so 2 spots left

The Roosters have 3 players on development contracts - so 3 spots available if they fill the maximum number of 6

Be interesting to see what happens in filling these spots in NRL or the development contract space - surely Tyler Moriarty is signed to a development contract at least - Thomas Deakin , Sandon Smith and Vuate Karawalevu are signed on development contracts

I saw good signs of him when he was running with the ball, I thought he ran with plenty of vigour. I must admit he did miss a few tackles but I thought he made a few good tackles too.

[HunchoRooster]

We were good in patches. I'm president of the Sammy Walker fan club but wasn't great today. Kicks were off, looked buggered in defence and threw an obvious cut out that was intercepted. Very early days though and it's a trial at the end of the day.

X. Va'a was great. Egan was great. Moriarty looked good before he went off. Sandon looked good. Brandon looked good in our colours. Jaxson Paulo was excellent.
