Match Discussion: Round 16 vs Sydney @ McDonald Jones Stadium, New Lambton / Awabakal

[Old dog]

Don’t sell Jones short, will be strong in middle if given the opportunity

 

[Nuke]

Anyone else here suspect 'chest injury' is a cover-up for being dropped due to not playing with enough heart?

Your heart's in your chest...

My worry is that we’re going to get monstered by the Roosters size wise. As bad as DSaf has been going at least he’s a big body.

JWH will do his annual dust up of our team, and be a smug asshole about it in the process.

It's okay because none of our lads have enough balls to stand up to him and will just play their usual plod self. Won't affect us at all.

The Roosters side looks average and their form has been poor. People talking about size, they got Nat Butcher starting in the front row.
We should be winning pretty comfortably.

Tbf we usually do pretty well against them at home. Even last year. Away is a different story.

Definitely not saying we’ll win, but it’s not always a touch up against them at home. I really have no idea how this one will go, for once I think it has more to do with how the Roosters show up. If they click and play to the value of their roster we don’t stand a chance. If they remain poor we can definitely win if we show up like we did in Brisbane (that’s a massive IF though).

If you looked at just the form of both sides last week we should be favourites. Especially at home and with the Roosters missing Tedesco (although tbh I think they’ll be more dangerous without him as he kills their attack trying to do too much).

Again not saying we will win, but I’m also not surprised we’re favourites.

Looks like a good crowd today

 

[Tom155]

A Crossland stuff up works out how bout that

 

[perverse]

Ponga is near career best form this year honestly. Shame he's surrounded by spuds.

Try assist?

Have you ever listened to him speak?

 

[Tom155]

First time in our end they go straight through the d

 

[Burns]

Gee that was easy for them

 

[perverse]

lol, straight through the middle. Very embarassing.

 

[Loose Cannon]

Typical crap mistake results.

 

[Jono078]

Soft as f**k.

As a pair, we pay the Saifiti's over a million dollars a year. Well over, even. Let that sink in.
