Round 7 vs Roosters

[dragon thomo]

Maybe Dufty out Ramsey to fullback Piera to left wing.

Re today.
Tactics are simple against the Roosters. Bustle em in defence and hold your line.
Kicking I would do the same as last week, Bomb Tedesco and limit his time.
It is just tackle 2, 3 we have to watch their back 3 from quick play the balls.
Result is I think we will put in and try our buts out..but lose in a reasonably close result due to
being outclassed and frustrated with the stoic defence from the Roosters and their superior execution in attack and yardage from their back 3.
Hope I am wrong and we win

Need some argey bargey from our forwards. Rattle the f**kers. The chooks don’t like that and to be honest their bench only has Collins that can come on and rip in.
Ellis and Alvaro must rip in when they come on, McGuire will no doubt. Get physical Saints and Tariq, destroy Sam Walker. You boys can do it!!

I wouldn’t be doing that for today’s game. Save the experimenting for the Tigers and Dogs, not the Chooks on Anzac Day

Geez I hope not, take Hunt and Dufty out of the side and I’m not sure where the points are coming from.

So both JP and Poasa not named in the final 17 for KOE Cup

 

[redv13]

Today is the perfect stage for Dufty to show Griffin that he deserves a new contract. Will the real Matt Dufty please stand up!!

No better day to do it.

Fire up lads... Saints x 2

If he focuses and shows intent in D then all will be fine as we know he can attack

Does not mean they will play 1stss..2 players 18th man and other reserve for warm up have to miss out

The only 2 things I am worried about is not making decent metres against them and palying mostly down our end..and
after watching the Warriors the ease they made ground

BSE I think theres a some talk of changes to the team, wether that be true or not is yet to he seen. There's a lot of IF'S being thrown around and Rava may well and truly play and I hope he does. The point was IF JP comes into the team where would he play and who would he replace?

I guess we'll somwhat know the answer to that around 1pm when the final 17 for the KOE Cup game is finalised.

Thanks bud

I'll take the 2 on offer bud....but only 2?......hopefully it will come via a penalty after the final siren.....dont think I could sit through a 2 point margin with say 3 or 4 mins to go

 

[Blood Shot Eyes]

Cmon lads give it to em.......our whole team need to be pumped for the entire 80 mins...with lots of pats on the back, hugs and high fives.....if we maintain the rage and enthusiasm it will get right up the chooks noses.....Dragonsby 7

Bird to five eighth , clune to bench according to Fox

 

[possm]

I just heard on Fox TV; Bird to 6 and Clune on the bench.

So maybe JP to left wing and Ramsey to left centre

 

[thebigredv]

Did I just hear correctly, bird to 5/8 and clune to bench?? Wow

 

[SET2JT]

Bird 5/8 clune benched

 

[SET2JT]

Id say JP left centre

 

[Dragon David]

Just heard on Kayo that Bird to 5/8th and Clune to bench!

 

[thebigredv]

Very interesting move. I like it against the roosters. Hook has identified we need more in attack and without Hunt he had to change it up. May fail but worth a go. Really impressed by Griffin, he will probably cop criticism but I can see this working and unsettling roosters.
