Looking forward to this match and to see where we are at. Time for Mind games, Roosters can't beat the top teams and I will say that includes the Eagles.

 

[Will on the hill]

Who replaces Lehi?
My first instinct is Burbo to centre, TT2 to wing, Waddell to 2RF. If Waddell isn't fit Faulalo to wing.

Given all fit, I would start with Ben at centre with Waddell or Navale on the edge, have Faulalo on the pine along with Brown, Gordie and Bully.

Bully plays best in the middle and starting with Tent and Alioia for me.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Well this is a real test , the Rorters , away.

Win this and we could be in 4th position , wouldn’t that be something !!

 

[effnic]

If we win this one, it erases Canberra and Dragons game from the memory. Absolutely massive game for us. Finals rehearsal. Really could of used Olaukuatu here.

 

[Disco]

I'd just bring Faulalo in at centre

 

[The Who]

I'd just bring Faulalo in at centre

He looked tissue thin in defence in the NSW Cup against Penrith. Meanwhile, Burbo had a great game overall against the Tits, especially when he deputised in the centres in the second half. I'd stick with Burbo in the centres.

Burbo is better defensively, and we will probably need that

Is Angus ok? 😉

Hopefully he is fine but needs a week off...

Can someone translate this post for me please.

 

[Sheikheagle]

I think Joey Manu is possibly due back this week.

 

[The Who]

I think Joey Manu is possibly due back this week.

He is listed to return in round 22. Hopefully that is still the case.

 

[Eagle 1]

I think Joey Manu is possibly due back this week.

Could be some doubt on Suallii, he landed heavily on the side of his head/neck. Guess we'll find out tomorrow.

I think TT2 is Talau (with Tommy Turbo being TT1) and Waddell (aka Duck/Quack)(as opposed to Quac/Guac) to 2RF could be some sort of chess move involving a rook. Or maybe means he should play as No 2 right front row? (But I'm only guessing)

 

[deanm]

Yes give him a rest

 

[deanm]

I think Seibs will play Burbo in centres , as it was the reporter that asked if Faulalo was an option first and then Seibs said how good Benny went.

SER8 is correct on Tommy Talau. 2RF is second row forward.(It's a SuperCoach thing, sometimes I forget most people don't play.)
