Sydney Roosters 19 player squad Finalised for Warriors Game

[Bates]

Is there any news on how conner is going with his knee injury ? Really loved him and egan coming off the bench last year playing fast through the middle

We're definitely missing his contribution off the bench. His energy can be infectious.

I'd feel more comfortable if Walker plays halfback and Manu was moved back out to the centres.

Would be nice to jump into 4th with a win tmrw, it’s a crazy comp at the moment, origin should be kinder to us this year, Souths,broncos,Penrith and the storm will take the biggest hit in players, be nice to capitalise for once during the origin period.

I'd be concerned about our backline during the Origin period if Suaalii makes it, the rest I agree with you on

1, Manu

2. Allan

3. Momirovski

4. Hutchison

5. Paulo

Does not sound very appetising...

This is obviously NOT our strongest available 17, and I just can't understand why.
Suaalii should be on one wing
Manu should be at Centre
Keary should be 5/8
Walker should be half
and Whyte or Turpin should be on the bench ahead of Handbrake
That gives enough cover because Crighton and Sitili can cover injuries at centre better than Handbrake
Radley and Turpin or Manu can cover injuries in the halves better than Handbrake.
While ever we have Handbrake in our top 17 we are not full strength, and in this case it is not because of injuries, it is because the coach is too stubborn to accept that.

Our million dollar backline doesn’t seem to cause much trouble for the opposition either.

Yeah that looks ugly, but if suaalii got picked for origin, it would be for nothing more than a publicity stunt.

there is nothing that warrants his selection.

[eddie]

Bakers in the side though who is another of your "favourite" players

The Handbrake-inator

Never a truer post was posted…

You speak far too much sense NSK.

That's like one big block of Swiss Cheese.

[roosterproud]

Jnr Puaga instead of Allen. Sitilli instead of Hutch.
