Collins is a pretty big out for the roosters, he’s become a very good first grader this year

Odd bench from Robinson, 4 back rowers (I realise they pretend Butcher is a prop) he’s always had a bit of Sheens about him

Desperation?

I think Collins is a big loss. He changed the momentum against our lot.

Sheens would say ‘pick the best 17 players and sort out positions later’

He once picked 2 wingers on the bench, in a must win game we lost Keith Galloway on match eve and he replaced him with Stuart Flanagan (our nsw cup hooker)

I realize some of those guys will play in the middle but there’s no substitute for a big book end. Surely that bloke they lent the warriors would be a better option then Butcher

Can't see us getting up here to be honest. This Raiders team seems to have forgotten how to put in a full 80 minute performance and makes too many mistakes to be successful at this end of the season. We had a pretty easy run to the finals and still only played slightly better than the teams we were beating in the lower half of the ladder.

f**k I hope that guy gets hit by a train while simultaneously being electrocuted, having his testicles gnawed off by dogs, his eyeballs stabbed with forks, slowly lowered into a wood chipper and having GG Allin taking a massive dump in his mouth after being brought back from the dead.
So, you're on the fence about Nable then?

Roosters did similar in a prelim that they lost to the Cows. Not as noticeable when you have a good roster

I've been looking forward to this game all week. I've got a feeling Simple Jack will be the deciding factor one way or another. Lets hope it's Complex Jack lacing the boots tonight.

Collins is a big out, he was excellent last week. Roosters would have been better off if SBW was out again instead.

Raiders by a try off a charge down followed by a repeat set.

Was that when he picked Dan Tupou on the bench or something? Yeah like I said he’s often had some weird selections, but having 15 Origin players in your side can cover that
