Boyd should have a rest

Great to see Aubo selected in run on squad! Hope he leads the team on and / or gets a fitting tribute when walking off ground,

I can’t see Cordner playing even though he has been named so there’s a good chance Aubo will be captainIng the side.

The next fixture for the mighty Roosters is against the Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks at 7.35 pm on Saturday, 19 September 2020 at the SCG. We should win this one quite comfortably, going on last week's stellar performance, but of course nothing is certain in this unusual NRL competition season.

According to the NRL website, we are $1.08 favourites and they are $8.00.

 

[Captain Apollo]

I can’t see Cordner playing even though he has been named so there’s a good chance Aubo will be captainIng the side.

Whilst Aubo is the club captain, both Boyd Cordner and Jake Friend are the first grade co-captains. As such if Boyd doesn't play Friend will be sole captain. Further JWH is the vice-captain, so if both Friend and Cordner were out then JWH would probably get the gig.

I'm not knocking Aubo, just pointing out why I think it unlikely to occur is all.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Trent Robinson told the media this morning that Boyd Cordner will not play in this game. Said he is fine, but they are being precautionary by giving him the week off.

[The Fanatical Rooster]

Boyd is being managed well by the best in the business in the NRL. Despite some certain media speculation about him retiring immediately, I would trust the judgement of our great club when it comes to matters such as this. We have proven that we care greatly for a player's welfare, and that is likely to continue.

 

[The Fanatical Rooster]

After another full week since our last fixture, it is finally game day, ladies and gentlemen. Fire up you mighty Roosters against those Sharks, fire up!

Roosters' concussion protocols to determine Cordner’s return

https://www.nrl.com/news/2020/09/18/roosters-concussion-protocols-to-determine-cordners-return/

We have drifted slightly to $1.10 and they have firmed to $7.00. I guess this is not that surprising, reflecting the fact that Jake is now out as well.

[The Fanatical Rooster]

I sincerely hope that the mighty Roosters make it a night to remember for Aubo - our great clubman, a complete gentleman off the field and someone universally admired by all and sundry.

It is time for the cream to start rising to the top and for us to continue building our form ahead of the finals series. Show them who is boss tonight Rooster boys - let's get into those Sharks!

Easts by 14.

For shits and giggles I’ve backed the boys to win 51+ @ $26.
