No NSW Cup games for Norths (Roosters feeder) or Newcastle.​

I thought the Knights might give Melbourne a game but they surrendered miserably. This is certainly an easier assignment, but they'll need to improve all the same. I don't think they can do it. Roosters aren't a premiership threat anymore, but they are comfortable top 8.

 

[GongPanther]

I dunno, Newcastle?

 

[Vic Mackey]

Roosters should do this easily, Knights seem to get reemed everytime they play a top 6 side

Huge game for roosters now.

A win gets them within 2 of the top 4.

Surprised SST was selected to play in the first place given his hamstring issue. Unless there’s another issue at play.

probably one of those 50/50s where they select him so that if he passes fitness test he can play.

Nice one

If Ponga is out then Roosters by 20

 

[Bazal]

The advantage of having my bunch of baldies play on Thursday is I can relax and have a few litres of booze and make really stupid comments in match day threads without the stress of worrying about them.

 

[shear_joy9]

ponga just had to take another shit. Fox jumping at shadows as usual

 

[Bazal]

Fox are really harping on Ponga needing to take a leak during the warm up.

His first run was a "fitness test" rather than them admitting "we overreacted"

 

[Bazal]

Jared Maria Handslikefeet.

And the Watto challenge to boot.

 

[shear_joy9]

Lol Jared

JWH stripped himself of the ball.

Quality effort tbh.
