Match Discussion: Round 15 vs Roosters @ Leichhardt Oval

[Vozzy]

From Fox Sports: I guess we'll know this afternoon.

Tips: Benji Marshall rolled his ankle against the Bulldogs and is expected to be fine for the clash at Leichhardt Oval. Other than that, the Tigers are fighting fit and could well have Alex Twal back this week. It’s a different story for the injury-hit Roosters. Trent Robinson said he would not get any fresh bodies back for another week with Daniel Tupou, Angus Crichton, Brett Morris and Jared Waerea-Hargreaves all nearing comebacks. Drew Hutchison and Kyle Flanagan will come into the halves after injuries to Lachlan Lam and Luke Keary, while 18-year-old Sam Walker, son of former Bronco Ben, could slot onto the bench. “There’s talk about Sam Walker, the really exciting 18-year-old. They’re worried about Jake Friend, he’s had too much football and he’s playing 80 minutes,” Buzz Rothfield told NRL360. “I think their halves will be Kyle Flanagan and Drew Hutchison, Sam Walker though I would not be surprised if he’s picked in the 21 and he might even sit on the bench.”

Mitchell Aubusson injury also opens up the possibility of Lindsay Collins starting and Nat Butcher returning to the back-row.

Fighting fit?

So Harry Grant, Musgrove, Jennings, mck are all training for selection this week.

We aren't gonna win this. Even with Roosters down on troops they will find a way to win.

I just hope we really give it to them. Like smash the latte sipping merkins into the ground and add a few more to their injury toll.

Salary cap rorting merkins

Great, highly rated 18 year old debuting against us.

Expect him to look like an immoral against us like bloody Tim Smith but in reality end up pretty average

 

[WA Tiger]

The timing for us is petty impressive tho..I can’t remember that much luck coming our way in one hit with their injuries ..I’m dreaming peaking mind set (what a scalp and less pressure in a way) getting on a role etc etc

 

[Fordy20]

Marshall named at halfback. Guess we'll have to wait until later in the week to see how back the ankle injury was

 

[Das Hassler]

Never mind the chooks casualties. ..they have enough firepower in Tedesco and the Morris twins alone to skewer us if we're not primed for this one.

At least we have the same 13 named as last week, so that’s something, I hope.

Also JWH is back so it's Packer's opportunity to show what he either is or isn't

Can someone get to the bottom of why Shawn Blore is not in the mix for selection 2 weeks in a row?

He has shown a huge amount of promise. He's an ideal player to have on the bench in my opinion.

Could it have something to do with salary cap pressure? Very disappointing

 

[WA Tiger]

Maybe because ? Blore was seen to support that young prop who was involved in that stabbing recently..The prop was sent off then him and his mate started a fight with two guys in the opposing team in the car park...He threw punches only while his mate went to the car got a knife and put the two guys in hospital..Blore was in a photo with the prop when they played in the same team a while back with a supportive message
Or Madge doing one of his wtf moves?

Disciplinary reasons apparently. I think he broke the bubble or something

I would have read about it..Have you got an article ?

Due to injuries we should win this.

10 years ago, how time flies. But still the best.

 

[Tigerm]

I’m not sure if we play again at LO, so I hope Chris gets a run If it our last game there this year.

 

[Vic Mackey]

I didn’t see any improvement from the previous 2 weeks in the win against the Dogs. With Twal and Mikaele back it’s probably the best side we’ve had on paper this year, even though we’re missing Harry. So if we’re going to go on any sort of run it will start today against an Easts side missing their play maker.

Sadly I still think they’ll be too strong. JWH will run for 200m+ and they’ll do us by 8

 

[League WTF]

Haha!!

A punter got 11 out of 12 legs on his multi-bet ticket for a $400,000 win. On the last leg, the Roosters must beat the Tigers today.

I'd love to see us win but he must be fairly confident. We've gone to pieces the last couple of weeks.

 

[benched tiger]

Now if he was a WT supporter he would be pretty confident of getting the final leg up
