Despite what the odds are currently showing, this game might well be closer than what many pundits believe, especially given the Central Coast (aka NZ) Warriors' performance yesterday. This could prove to be a fascinating clash, albeit a particularly dangerous one for us. I currently tip Easts by 6.

We need to turn the SCG back into our fortress. Hopefully a dry track next week will set us up for a solid win. They should not be quite as desperate as they otherwise would have been. Time will tell ultimately. It should be an interesting contest nonetheless.

Round 4 line ups announced:

https://www.roosters.com.au/news/2021/03/30/line-up-for-round-4-vs-warriors-announced/

Personally, I would have preferred to go with Manu at 6 and Hutchison off the bench, so we will see if Robbo's loyalty to Hutch gets rewarded, or if he will be forced into a re-think come Round 5. I am happy with Liu at 8 and 'Rads' at 13. Remaining appointments all seem about right to me.

I actually think that is what will happen.

Doesn't really make sense to have iku on the bench otherwise unless he is thinking he can do a few hit ups in the 2nd row lol

It would be better if that is the case.

Typo fixed! It should be an interesting game.

Either one of the outside backs is carrying an injury or Robbo intends to put Hutch at dummy half to give Lussick a spell and move Manu to 5/8 - B Morris to centre and Ikuvalu to wing. Otherwise the bench should be 4 forwards. Butcher and or Radley playing some Dummy half.

Yeah looks like Iku will start on the wing with B-Moz Centre.

Joey 5/8 and Hutch at hooker with Lussick on the bench.

He didn't have much choice. The club only had 19 fit players available for selection so he had to name Ikuvalu in the squad.They had to apply for dispensation to call up two other players from North Sydney to be able to name a 21 player squad.

Happy Easter everyone.

It is also game day ladies and gentlemen. Fire up you mighty Roosters for tonight's game, fire up! Let's get back to the winners' list and do so in style.
