A few interesting things about the side named.

Despite Anasta being out, Carney is still playing fullback.
Despits Jones's great performance for the IAS, Jaubs is still hooker (whhy?)
Maubs in the SR and Myles at Lock

 

[Geohood]

Well the players are just being trialed in the positions that they have trained in for the majority of the off season, though who knows who will rotate throughout the match.

 

[marshall stalin]

who will be goal kicking this year??

 

[JT_]

Carney can kick 'em cant he?

Other than him i can only think of Anasta and SKD.

 

[Non Terminator]

Probably Carney...with Anasta and SKD backing up.

 

[Non Terminator]

Haha, great timing JT.

 

[Non Terminator]

We'll hopefully have better live updates than last week.

Payto has been ruled out...

Just got my tickets to the game.....will be great to see the new and old guys go around....interesting to see how the rooters go under smith...mini is due for a stellar year IMO......

 

[Non Terminator]

No idea cookie, they didn't last year.
From memory, we had to rely on Wests' official website.

 

[tigesup]

Any ideas on the 20's squad? Have the roosters named one?

Roosters won 28-10, with Mitchell Pearce And Todd Carney being the stand-outs of the match.

Roosters won 28-10, with Mitchell Pearce And Todd Carney being the stand-outs of the match.

They both looked good. Pearce gave a couple of neat passes to Cherro and Carney for good tries and his kicking game was pretty good too. Carney's turned out to be a handy goal kicker as well. I think he kicked 6 from 6 tonight.

Tigers didn't look very committed though. Carney wasn't really tested at fullback I thought.

Mini looks as fast as ever but can't recall him playing on the wing. He had a go at centre, fullback and even lock.

We got away at being offside a lot tonight, I hope it doesn't comeback to haunt come comp time. Encouraging night.
