Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[Paddo Colt 61]

The facts start with our pack Norfie. Anyway, I might get a clearer indication of Suali'i's talents tonight. He's much ballyhooed by all and sundry but for the life of me I don't really see it over and above a slew of fine outside backs that I see week to week. Grahame will be test

I agree about Suaalii..... I still say he's a future backrower. He's got plenty of courage, but not speed that I have seen. I hope he proves me wrong, but there are so many similar build wingers and centres with plenty of athleticism.

[Billy Gunn]

Has the game been played already? Reading this thread it sounds like everyone is ready to give them the premiership.
I hope we can adapt to whatever happens, yes our preference is a fast game but if we have to excel no matter what happens.

Go Easts!!

Cmon the Chooks ! Smash , bash , slice , dice and julienne those wascally wabbits . Hit em hard , low and often ! F@#$ I've missed this , I hope the referee isn't a factor. Chooks by 2 .

[dice]

dice and julienne those wascally wabbits

No idea who Julienne is but I can assure you i am no wabbit

[Vasco]

...and could be a big mistake starting Egg Butcher in this game

I agree but who plays second row? Is Tony Cosatto available?

[Johnny Brass]

Tough game for us tonight after what has been a very slow start to the season. We will need to lift to be competitive against a very good team. The cheese has been very restricted since Kaufusi left him with a shirt full of ribs and probably needs a proper spell to recover.
Stopping Murray is the key as Cook jumps off the back of his quick play the balls and then Walker and Latrell cut loose.
I'm not overly confident tonight but I just want to see us play much better than we have been particularly when we get inside the 20 where we have looked quite clunky.
Easts to win

Last week the breaks were coming, the final execution let us down. The inexperienced forwards showed heart and they defended their line well. Just got to fix the last pass options, be a bit more aware of breaks down the middle and I reckon this rag-tag group of red, white & blue no-names will produce an upset tonight!

[Salvatori Grubber]

I’m not sure why, but I have a feeling we’ll win tonight.

Last week’s win was steely.

Trent Robinson has finalised his side to take on the South Sydney Rabbitohs at Allianz Stadium tonight at 8:00pm.

Two changes have been made to the forward pack following yesterday’s 24-hour update.

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves and Brandon Smith move to the interchange bench, with Fletcher Baker named to start the match at Prop, while Jake Turpin will start at Hooker.

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Watching fox right now, they just interviewed Mitchell...... he says , I guess they are all coming to watch ME.
Samson calls it TRELLIANZ..... I hate the way she speaks, so blooody programmed

god I hope we win this. I reckon we are a chance, but what if we had Angus, Lodge, Sitili and Brown available ??
Win or lose this one, we will finish better than these pretenders this year.

[Waylander]

Not surprised at the changes. Hopefully they both have a big impact when they come on.

good idea to have Lindsay and Jared rotate, we need one on the field at all times. and Smith off the bench is good too.

I like the changes.....which i rarely say

[roosterchook]

Just hope we improve, no injuries and no suspensions or concussions. We’ve got the players just need really top teamwork.
