2020 roosters player of the year - broncos 3 2 1s (Part 2)

[Valheru]

A percentage boosting win and no injuries.

I don't think anything else needs to be said as Brisbane are truly pathetic.

3 Teddy
2 Sitilli
1 Jared. Just for being in their faces all night. Everyone deserves a point.

Next week will give us a better indication of where we’re at and with possibly more troops and Sonny coming back, there could be exciting times ahead.

Would you bring sonny back next week?

I'm not convinced an away game on a cold winters night in Canberra is the ideal time...

I wouldn’t normally but he’s not going to play many minutes you’d think. You can bet your bottom dollar that if Robbo selects him, it could only mean he’s impressed with his preparation. He might feel that he needs a few games under his belt to better prepare for the riggers of finals footy as well.

I liked what I saw from Lussick and though he played well. Hopefully Friend will be stood down next week .

Aside from Friend there were no further injuries. Sonny Bill might have to wait another week.

If Robbo reckons SBW is ready he'll put him in the squad. Even though he's going to be an impact players off the bench, he has to get on the field to get some match fitness before the finals let alone build some chemistry with the rest of the team when on the field.

I agree with you on the above, and your comments, HC.

While SBW could start, as the NRL and everyone else expects, I would not be at all surprised if he misses next week and comes in during a 'softer' game against the Knights or Sharks.

I actually would not be upset if Jake misses next week as well. He, along with SST, needs a rest. SST missed the second half - that was a good and wise move last night IMO.

SBW will not be starting. He is not up to that anymore (if you watched some of his games for the Toronto Wolfpack earlier in the year you'd see why). HE will be an impact player used in 15 minute bursts off the bench.

Further we need to keep winning to ensure a top 4 finish. We are 2 points in front of both Canberra and Souths, and only 3 points in front of Newcastle. Drop 2 points to Canberra and we have no margin for error.

My points for the match -

3 points: James Tedesco.

2 points: Jared Warea-Hargreaves.

1 point: Sitili Tupouniua.

 

[The Fanatical Rooster]

Sorry @Captain Apollo, I meant 'start' as in playing altogether but, I agree with you, he definitely will not be starting, but is likely to have two or three short stints coming off the bench.

I cannot argue with that. I had JMoz at 3, but there you go!

A little feature on Sitili as the Round 16 man of the match. Well done sir.
