Sydney by a comfortable 22.

Well the Jersey Flegg game should be an interesting game.. 2nd vs 3rd

 

[mozza91]

This is gonna get ugly. Think this might be O’Brien’s last game as coach.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Rorters are well placed to go on a run here, and the Knights are over and out for this year. Big score coming up.

 

[Valheru]

Our attack started to click a little last week but one would think defence will be the focus this week.

Ironically, that defensive effort was worse than the previous 4 games which were all losses. Conceding less than 26 points for the first time in a month would be nice.

Surely Robinson doesn't move Manu. He's a comfortably better 5/8 than Keary in 2022. Also Keary and Walker just don't work together. I mean I hope he moves Manu, but he would be mad to.

Problem is that, with losing Billy Smith for the season with another ACL injury, it does not leave many options to replace him in the centres outside of Kevin Naiqama or Manu. Additionally Keary has played all his games this season at halfback, Walker was at five eight until Keary got injured. That's why there is so much speculation about what Trent Robinson will do for Friday's game.

Joseph Suaalii is a centre/fullback playing on the wing. I'd put him at centre and whoever on the wing.

Whatever they go with I hope they stink it up and Newcastle can pull one out of the hat for the good of the NRL.

I have a sneaking suspicion Manu will be FB this week. Teddy will need a rest at some point and this looks like the best opportunity,

You would have to be insane to move Sualli from the wing at this point in time. He is progressing perfectly, does the hard yards from the back and is a huge aerial threat.

 

[Stinkfinger]

Roosters with far too much to play for against a side that gives up. Much tougher assignments lie ahead.

Naqaima on the wing? Sorry but no thanks. He's been shown up too many times when he's played there. He and Momorovski have been poor defenders this year.

 

[Hutty1986]

Chooks by 28. Peaheart Ponga with about the same number of missed tackles

 

[Rhino_NQ]

who will drop the SKD cup?

 

[SLRBRONCOS]

 

[Someone2]

Roosters by 26

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Lol if Roosters manage to lose this...

 

[Valheru]

Looks like Manu could be out with that fake injury
