Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Eels

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Penisini plays on the right and Joe plays on the left so I think they will be opposing each other.

well that will be interesting. good test for young Joe.
Penisini was a rugby star at Kings as well, one year older than Joe.

[DP1990]

Toops with a hattrick tonight !

[NorfolkStreetKid]

We are too short to back at $1.54, but I had a couple of multi's
Roosters win, toops and Joe score. pays $4.70
Roosters win by 5 or more, Jared scores, pays $11.75
and I had a free $50 bonus bet... so it's on the Roosters minus 4.5, pays $1.90.

No I think they are both right centres so won't mark up opposing.

Manu is our right centre. Sualli plays on the left inside Toops.

I don’t rate Penisini at all in attack. He’s about as dangerous as our Hutch playing in the centres. He’s solid but no superstar.

Manu is our right centre. Sualli plays on the left inside Toops.

yeah sorry you are right - I'm a bit left/
right retarded! However the No 3 is normally the right centre no?

Number 2 and 3 are left.

[eddie]

Surely we win this.
I don't rate Parramatta or their millionaire halfback.

[Thirteen]

I expect Baker to start for JWH.

I’m excited to see how Whyte goes. I thought he was good up the middle against Warriors.

[Recky62]

how many times do you think the stand up comedians (Ginane , Speed or Vossy) on the call tonight will mention Rugby Union ?

[The Lip]

I can't stand Ginane anymore - annoys the crap out of me

Agree on the odds being too short, I think with Manu out its closer to evens. Bonus bets I tend to generally like taking something with a bit more meat on the bones as they take out the bonus if you win and in this case you will have risked a bet and have 45 bucks in your account.
Good luck on your punt and hope you get over your shingles.

[Big Dog]

I reckon Hutch will score three tonight and win MOTM..

Hutch or hooch for you mun?

[Davo]

I expect Parra to stand and offload all night and run us around. Just like they did last game and had 20 odd points on us in no time and as usual Robbo had no tactics to swing momentum. Just Roosters footy.

[Johnny Brass]

Tough game tonight and let's hope the eels don't reproduce the 41/43 completions like last week.
Joey is a big out that leaves us with the reliable but very plodding Hutch in the centres if we go as programmed. I'd love to see Suaalii at right centre to show his wares but Robbo doesn't look keen on the idea.
Paulo is a big out and we can dominate up front and give our class players the time to knock them off.
Easts to win.
