With Witty back, the Warriors should get the cash.

Harrrd mate, hard.

 

[BeeeeeRad]

No Minichiello still, that will be 8 weeks out now i think... so much for 2 or 3 games. Our attack doenst get on the front foot as much without his awesome returns.

The last time these sides played in Auckland, the 'baby chooks' as it were did a decent job actually we ran away with it a bit. ANd our last game was 21-21, gee that still gives me goosebumps. What a match.

Thankfully, we've only got one fella who was playing tonight.

Other then that, some odd changes we should be allright

GO WARRIORS!

Whoops! haha, thanks man!

 

[kingdamo]

Hehe go the Warriors

 

[Sood]

Hmm.. i think warriors might win this.
Home game for them, plus the roosters have lost every game they have played during the day this season i think.

well, its make or break for Ivan Cleary. A win and his selection process is vindicated,, a loss and some of us will be calling for his arse...

Does the Melbourne game count as a day game, it was still light when it finished lol.

Late mail
Roosters fullback Amos Roberts is set to be ruled out of Sunday's clash with the Warriors in Auckland due to a virus. "He looks like he might be out," coach Brad Fittler said.

Brent Grose would be his replacement, with Sam Perrett assuming fullback duties.

Injured Warriors prop Steve Price is unlikely to return against the Roosters. Russell Packer is again likely to be thrown onto the Warriors' bench despite being named 18th man.

This match worries me a little. We should win easily, but warriors are a different side at home, and if Price does manage a return, then who knows. He knows how to lift that side.

It'll be a close one Roosters by 6.

 

[Sood]

all 2 of them.

Yeh i know its only 2... but we just have played awesome every night game, even the loss to the broncos... and major crap in the 2 day games.

 

[Rovelli]

Warriors lift at home, but the Roosters are the better team.

Please give us the win, Warriors.

 

[Fast Eddie]

A few changes- Witt and Wiki are out, Pricey is back.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

So what is our line up looking like?

1. Hohaia
2. Ah Van
3. Tate
4. Kirk/Shortland
5. Solomona
6. Ropati
7. Rovelli
8. Price/Tuimavavae
9. Fien
10. Rapira
11. Mannering
12. Lauaki
13. Luck

14. Tuimavavae/Price
15. Henderson
16. Fai
17. Packer

I'd be tempted to put Fai at centre and bring Matulino onto the bench. I think Soliola and Saa would kill either Kirk or Shortland. Either that or keep Ropati at centre where he should be and shove Kirk into five eight. Either way the halves are going to be passengers, might as well not waste Ropati.

 

[Fast Eddie]

From what I have heard and read Pricey is starting, Ropati to 5/8, Shortland into the centres.

 

[byrne_rovelli_fan82]

Yah for Pricey!!!

but missing Witty!!!

 

[ledzep]

Roosters by 10000 if Ropati and Rovelli are the halves
