The side also includes 17 year old wonder kid Tautau Moga who, by definition, could feature in this side for another three years.

Congrats boys well deserved, thought Evans deserved a run on spot

Was always going to be hard to get above the Dally M TC player of the year and Groat who has played a number of FG games.
Good to see we are the highest represented club with 4

I hope Moga can put on a show.

At least they're being equal opportunity as there's a gay guy in the squad.

If Tau Tau manages to stand out in that backline at the ripe old age of seventeen, he's something else...

[Guest]

anyone know if it is televised?

I'll be heading up on Sunday to see this game so great to hear all four Roosters will be representing. Will be interesting to see if Moga plays left or right centre. Pangai is a left side specialist but you'd have to think Moga would get the left side just simply to be more comfortable in defence.

Is Lowe with us next season?

[Guest]

Does anyone know what time this game is and if there's a stream or something?

[Guest]

He's gonski. Ethan wanted to return home and accepted a deal to play with Nth Qld's feeder team in the Queensland Cup.

Yak, from what i understand there's no coverage of the curtain raiser so i'll be looking forward to your comprehensive summary of
the game, in particular how Evans & Moga perform against quality opposition. This to me will indicate just how far off they are from
making their 1st grade debuts.

Cheers.
