Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Warriors

[Chook2]

no love for sitili ?

Sitili was still huge I just didn’t have him in my top 3 due to only playing half a game
the way he played the 40 min was bloody brutal though so he is just about back
should not take gus to long. Looks like he has the fitness back, just needs abit of timing and contact
interring to see what robbo does with Sitili and gus Nest week, and the butcher brothers
a great problem to have

Unbelievable that some couch coaches don't have NButch in the top 17. Give yourselves an uppercut ffs.

N-Butch should be #12 every week forever as far as i'm concerned. One of our best week in week out.

Was N Butcher suspended or dropped

Played well, nay be in strife for a shoulder charge, nonetheless very dependable.

Suspended for "hip drop" against Sharks

Special mention and shout out to the Butcher Brothers who quite a few on here don't rate nor want in the side - Thankfully Robbo picks the side

• N Butcher - 58 tackles - 0 Missed
• E Butcher - 53 tackles - 0 Missed

Yeah credit to the Bro's today King....they were very good.

Great hard fought win. It is so good to have Sitili back and Collins was fantastic again. In fact all the forwards played well. Victor played really, really well after the crap he copped last week. To win over there in horrendous conditions without Jared and Toups was also huge.

Sitili in particular has made a noticeable difference. With him and Gus back in the side and developing further match fitness we look more worthy of belonging in the top four. Hopefully injuries stay away this year..

I think this is a good option. I am a Hutcho fan though

I too am a Hutch fan. Obviously he has limitations and only if we have to should we start him. What he contributed in our injury-plagued 2021 year will always make him favourable to me IMO.

I thought it was a good win.
They played like a team. Over 50% posession over 75% completions and over 95% tackles made so we are always a chance in any game with those stats.
Very good efforts by Allen, Momi, Paulo bringing the ball back. Collins, both Butchers, Radley and Sitili very good as well.
Couple of magic efforts by the Cheese, a very good team effort.
Shame Momi got injured, Hopefully Billy Smith is back next week.
Everyone was solid, Baker went well too.
I still think we are stronger with Walker at half and Manu at centre, and Suaalii on the wing, he's just not quick enough off the mark, but great chasing the high ball.

this clown is deluded, if momi wasn't injured the handbrake wouldn't have got a start which would have been awesome, he didn't make any major stuff ups but contributed virtually nothing.

I think he’s messing with you regarding Hutch.

on paper we look a good chance to win the comp this year and today's defensive effort was the first time this season we looked like real contenders

[A Country Member]

Miserable weather here, unsure if it will let up. Pitch may turn to shit.

some of the senior squad boys in the reserve grade side, like wong, are massive. Looking forward to them in first grade

Credit to the fans for turning up today. Both sides
