Pre Season Challenge - Rnd 2 Squad V Manly

[Horry]

They were concerned for Keary's Jaw. It's not broken.

No keary. That is a worry.

Yeah surprises me that they don't wanna see him and Walker combine before the season starts.

Impossible to know Robbo's logic though. Manu, Keary, JWH and Crichton are all out (as are Momirovski and Billy Smith one might argue).

Somebody who knows their sides/positions better might be able to work something from this. I'd be guessing it's all about which combos need tweaking though. Would be thinking Keary, JWH, Crichton and Manu all combine well and we more wanna practice...

- How Brandon, Radley and Walker combine. Brandon only had a short stint in game 1 but impressed IMO... have watched him setup Rads for that try a million times as his motion's just soooo slick! So many little details there.

- What our forward rotations look like when you start putting Wongie, May, Whyte and Turpin in there without JWH leading the pack.

Also what the hell has happened to Momo?? I swear he wasn’t at the camp in NZ either

Saving him for the Dolphins game perhaps.

Someone on another site alerted me to the result of the Jersey Flegg Trial which was listed on the Kaiviti Silktails Rugby League Football Club- 3 of their contracted players played in the game which maybe why they had to score up and pictures from the game etc.

Sydney Roosters won 48-8 vs St George Illawarra

Nothing about that game or the NSW Cup trial on the Roosters Club site so unless someone knows or it's reported elsewhere it's mystery where Momirovski is or isn't as it won't reported on the club site.

They certainly need to do better than what they are doing in keeping supporters up to date on football related matters

[Jacks Fur Coat]

Bit dusty in the backs with Allan, Paulo and Hutch all starting.

[zac]

Angus and the Butchers....plenty at steak.

i've got no beef with the replacements but who knows, maybe angus will be good to go round 1

[horrie hastings]

Bit dusty in the backs with Allan, Paulo and Hutch all starting.

I'm interested to see how Cory Allan goes in the centre as i'm not looking forward to seeing Momo play that position ever again.
Think Paulo is going to be a good pick up for the Roosters, if Suaalii is going to play centre with Manu Paulo will be the starting winger but if Suaalii goes back to the wing Paulo will be playing a lower grades.

Will be interesting to see the centre combination settled on as there is Manu, Billy Smith, Suaalii , Cory Allen and Momo, Manu is the only one certain of playing centre and it will be interesting to see whether Suaalii get the other spot or returns to the wing. At least this year we do have some decent depth in the backline.

The Hutchinator will play strong and do good Jack

Spoke with the roosters today. Luke Keary did cop a knock to the jaw at training last week. He's at training as we speak but is on light duties, as is Joey Manu. Club just want to take every precaution possible given his history.

3 things
The Chooks have a terrible record in Gosford
Manly will be harder than alot of people think.
Keary out is a worry

You forgot to add Ray said we'd win by 40. If that's not a double tall iced mocha on the team, I don't know what is.

Oh well, manly can use that 100K to pay Seibold out when they sack him in June.

[Ray Stehr]

I didn't say we'd win by 40, I said we should win by 40. Manly are crud, we should flog them.

Take some rainbow flags and wave them at the game. That should stuff em!

Multiple reporters have now tweeted this is accurate.

Grubber, can you make enquiries via your sources or via the club about Daniel Anderson's welfare?
Haven't heard or read on his progress since it was reported.
Hoping for good news and a speedy recovery.

lol nearly full strength Roosters team (if you consider a team without Manu, Keary, JWH, Crichton, Watson among others nearly full strength)
