Match Discussion: Round 2 vs Sydney @ Campbelltown Stadium

[Tiger05]

Our team looks okay. I assume the idea is Liddle gets replaced by Mbye. I think it's better with 3 middle forwards but maybe Talau will play that middle role or replace BJ when he gets sent off.

The rorters team looks very good. This is just as tough if not tougher than last week.

j

Just think 3 forwards on the bench is needed

I think they (the off field management) think they have 4 forward reserves listed.

Mybe to 9 in case of...
Talau went into the forwards last week,

Expecting more minutes out of Twal & Ofahengaue.

No Suaalii, but ...
"Meanwhile, the Sydney Roosters are considering handing one of the game’s most exciting talents his NRL debut this weekend, with whiz-kid Sam Walker in line to be named on the bench for Sunday’s clash against the Wests Tigers."

Hoping Talau comes in for Kapaoa. That bloke is truly horrendous. Can't catch, can't pass.

Surely we won't have two backs on the bench? That's a Sheens manoeuvre.

I’m almost thinking of getting out to this one to support the lads.

Even if we don’t win, I can enjoy myself abusing roosterage. Take some photos for the game thread.

 

[WA Tiger]

O fk It looks like same theme as last year ..don’t ever change the team coz it will improve and pick Mbye ..
The good thing is if anyone misses Jennings we have a replacement for him on the wing

 

[Das Hassler]

Hoping Talau comes in for Kapaoa.

Yes...yes and ......yes

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Yes...yes and ......yes

SOS.......Mbye needed out on the wing.

Jock moves up to interchange to cover for Brooks almost certain failure and Kepaoa to reserves.

I don’t like the roosters forwards and think they are vulnerable.

Someone belts Keary properly and he will be gone and Tedesco knows the whole stadium will be looking to rip his head off.

We can do this but not with Brooks for the full 80. His idea of taking control last week was to run away.

Whereas Ad, the robbie special project, he is dynamite.

Just be careful abusing them rooster folk, SP.
Some of them are pure evil and more bogan than a Minto minx. I saw a mother/daughter rooster combo once that would have fit right in with the best of houso's. They were apoplectic in their abuse of opponent players and the ref. Veins popping, teeth clenched, fists shaking. I was genuinely scared.
Be careful bro.

 

[super_coach]

Really doesn’t matter how well we defend, the Chooks will kill us in the air as they always do. Their tall timber always have a day out against our mob. Targets like Tapou,Morris x 2 and Turdy it works every time

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

If we can’t win, my policy is to wreck their season.

I still want Mbye on the wing because he’s good enough to spoil a few things, has basics and take the ball up.

The less passing of the ball the better of course.

Home track, mad crowd, we will come out f**king firing.

I don’t like the rooster forwards, they are a half baked rabble. We need to be in their fat faces.

 

[benched tiger]

I don’t expect anything special from Mbye,Brooks,BJ,Kepaoa and Garner, if they do some how manage to do something of value during the game for the WT it’s a bonus.

 

[benched tiger]

This might be throwing the dice but I would bring another forward onto the bench, omit Mbye and use Brooks to cover Liddle, AD and Tommy would then be in the halves.

I don't want him anywhere near the wing.

 

[super_coach]

I think we need Simkins and Liddle sharing the no9 role and that means there is no place for Moses M as Tommy T is your coverage for the backline. It is so important to have a very agile no9 for the full 80 minutes. Under the new rules it is nearly impossible for a nine to go the 80 at the required intensity

 

[BrotherJim05]

I don't think we will see Simpkin on the bench until he gets a few more games under his belt in NSW Cup. I also think Madge wants to see if Liddle can handle 80 mins.

Mbye will have that bench spot for a few more rounds at least, then I don't see him in the team unless there are injuries

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

It’s time to season the big kid.

 

[The Silverdale Phantom]

Massive injection of strike for us.

If we can beat the roosters we will put fear into the heart of every team in the nrl.

Long overdue mind you.

 

[BrotherJim05]

Guys, we aren't going to win this. Roosters are full of confidence, have a star studded team, and have all played regularly enough to build lethal combinations. We unfortunately have none of those features at this present time.

We are going to get flogged. All I want to see is 80 minutes of trying. Even if we are 30 down I want to see every player competing to the death.

Apparently Tommy T is training at centre, as JTJ has an injury?
