R15 vs Sydney Roosters

[snickers007]

Roosters have options to cover Suaalii - Tupou and Paulo could come onto the wing, and shift Corey Allen to Centre.
They could also move Manu back to Centre and have Hutchinson or Sandon Smith play 5/8th.

Also just on the Roosters - I don't understand what's happening with their lower grades this year. They're supporting both North Sydney and a Roosters team in NSW Cup, but I can't see any rhyme or reason to which players are allocated to which club. Kinda seems like most of their fringe NRL forwards are playing for the Bears, with most of the fringe backs playing for the Roosters.

And the teams are coming equal first and equal last which is wild. Their Flegg team is also equal first, so they have some talent in the ranks. And they've had lots of opportunities to bring them up with plenty of injuries and suspensions over a few seasons now. They're just doing a shit job of developing them into a cohesive squad.

 

[Red&BlackBear]

We are full strength minus Cleary.

Most teams we should outclass. Especially after a freshen up for Yeo and Luai

And May don’t forget him.

Robbo is like that as a coach.

He needs to buy established guys and has no plan B when it all goes to shit

[Bred not Bought]

Our defence is the best in the game. If we can make it to 20ish points in most games we win.
Stop blowing chances and having a little more creativity would help.
In 12 games we have only hit 20 four times. In the four games, we have lost. 13, 17, 20, and 12 have been the opponent's scores. We can't grind away every match.
Need to find a way to get 4 tries.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Turuva got found out for the first time. We might consider playing Jenkins in his spot. Give Cogger a winger to bomb to. A freshen up might help Turuva himself as well.

Yep 4 tries is the magic number

Cleary out for up to 6 weeks. Some what similar situation for Panthers when he hurt his shoulder leading into 21 finals and got suspended leading into 22 finals. Cogger gets 6 solid weeks to build with the side and form combos.

If he goes well, will probably get poached by a bottom 8 side

 

[Flashstep]

Not nearly as confident as last time with Cleary out, but at least we’ll have all week to train with Cogger at 7.

As for Coggers future, why not try and turn him into a 9? Big body and having a kicking game already puts him above Kenny and Luke. Surely all those years as a half means he can pass a ball as well…

Really want to see Martin starting on an edge.

 

[Chins get the wins]

Really want to see Martin starting on an edge.

I think Ivan likes bringing him on at prop then pushing him wide to save an interchange. Martin is very good in either roll so I'd be flexible depending on who we play and how we want to bench to look.
The longer he's on the field the better though really.

 

[Fangs]

He is one of the most impactful forwards off the bench in the competition right now. Its working pretty well with him alongside Leinu. I'd probably keep it the same.

 

[TheEroticGamer]

Good news is we only play 4 games in the next 6 weeks and Cleary would have probably only played 2 of them because of origin. The two being Roosters and Melbourne who have been shithouse recently.

Cogger trained all last week at 7 as well (Cleary was at origin camp)

There's a hilarious video regarding Leniu's injury, which is on the club's website. For some unknown reason I can't share it

 

[jane the pain]

Honest.

Leniu opens up on painful blow Wrecking ball cops cruel cut

It allows the bench to be more flexible.

You are playing him for 50-60 mins.
Spencer usually gets 40
Leota 50
Fish 50.

the backrow can play 80.

You have options for the other 2 bench spots depending on opposition, Form etc

 

[chrisD]

Martin should play all edge and as many minutes as he can handle, because Sorro is nearly non threatening and Hosking is completely non threatening. And we should concentrate on getting Crichton and Tago early ball. We are too non-threatening on the edges.

Some are attacking players while others are there for their defence qualities
