Does anyone know why Jamie Soward isn't in the side? Injured or just left out?
Kiwi said:Looks like the Roosters are doing a few things right with that side.
They have shifted Anasta to lock, smart move, lets hope they keep him there. He suits the position alot more than five eigth. Also will all the talk from Rooster fans about all these young very good players coming through, we are actually going to see them get a shot. Lets hope that if they don't find their feet straight away, they get given enough time to do it. Like the Raiders this year, very much a team of the future ( well the backs anyway ).
The4 one thing I don't like about the side, is the aging forard pack. Being a Broncos fan that may sound hypocritical, but these guys aren't Webcke, Thorn, Carroll or Petero, they're poor mans versions. Signing Beattie and Nutley was stupid, they let Morley go for these two? Rooster fans must be still pulling their hair out over this one.
Around the rucks the Roosters are gonna get killed by teams like the Cowboys, Broncos, Bulldogs, Tigers, Titans and Storm. No wonder they are using 1 marker, they are trying to cover for very limited mobility around the ruck.

Make your own mind up.
Personally, head-to-head you'd pick Mini, Soliola and Wing for the Roosters. The rest are pretty even or in Souths' favour. Round 1 though match-ups really mean squat. So it'll be a close match.
