Roosters team v Brisbane

[Southern Rooster]

C. Walker
J. Monaghan
I. Soliola
R. Cross
A. Roberts
C. Wing
B. Firman
J. Cayless
S. Webb
A. Morley
C. Flannery
C. Fitzgibbon
L. Ricketson

N. Catic
G. Rose
A. Tupou
R. fa'aoso

Anthony Minichiello has not been named but is also not on the injury list on the clubs website. Which leads me to believe again as was the case with Tupou last week that there will be more late changes come Friday night.

SR,

We both know that is not the team that will play. I think Firman might even play PL. Wing Halfback, Flannery 5/8..

Do you think they will persist with Firmo ?

Is tupou fit to play ?

 

[avsterooster]

lets be honest guys
not a chance that will be the 17 to play
tupou should be fine
i am quite confident mini will play

and yes ofcourse firman will play
premier league? what drugs are you on?

game by game he will improve, finch is still 2 weeks away

 

[Corbin]

i think firman will really improve when finch comes back.

 

[Chook]

Firman will do just fine thanks SIM. I can't believe you're still wanting him to fail so can have your little "I told you so" speech. Under Stuart, Firman will become one of the top three halfbacks in the comp, you read it here second.

Chook.

 

[Chook]

And I doubt Walker will play even if Mini's not fit. Sam Perrett is a far better option than Walker.

Chook.

 

[Mr Saab]

please sticky, please pick Walker as the fullback!!!

 

[Broncodroid]

Anthony Minichello will be playing sadly for the Brisbane team and fans.

 

[Kiwi]

Whats the point of naming a "dummy" side? Seriously, does the other coach really care? I willing to bet if you asked each coach they would tell you that they prepare as if going up against a full strength team, no matter what. So really their is not point to naming a different side to the one that will actually play, other than to dick fans around.

Is Mini upset is he. ;-)

 

[pantherz9103]

Broncos to win this one.

Chris Walker should not be let anywhere near an NRL jersey, little own the fullback position at one of the top clubs #-o

:lol: :lol:

Let me try again...

Anthony Minichello will play in the Friday night game vs the Broncos which is unfortunate for the Brisbane team and fans who were teased with the prospect of having Chris Walker in the number 1 jersey. ;-)

 

[Matt M]

If Minichiello is out I think Amos Roberts should be moved to fullback, Walker is a pathetic fullback, whereas he is only a really bad winger.

 

[renouf]

This should be a good game.. another forwards battle. Should give both clubs an idea of where they're at.

Broncos will turn up to play, they always do in away clashes.

 

[The Business]

Broncos to win this one.

Agreed, and I'm a Roosters fan.

 

[bulldogs = #1]

walker at the back.. im backing broncos 13 +

 

[JBW1983]

If mini and tupou play then i have no doubt the roosters will win... no carroll for the broncos leaves their defence out of sorts... Broncodroid, how do u know mini's gonna play?

 

[Kurt Sherlock's Mo]

Mini was interviewed by Nein prior to the match and rated himself 100% to play the following week. Not a bad source for the rumour to start from ;-)

 

[Striker]

hey all, my first post here.

I assume no one hear is expecting the Broncos to play anything like they did against the warriors last week. This match is usually decided around the 60th minute, from what my memory serves me anyway, I may be wrong.

Im expecting Hodges to have a cracker similar to what he did against the Broncos when he had just started for the tri colours. Whatever the result I can't wait for this match.

GO THE BRONCOS!

Cheers,
Striker

I'm looking forward to watching Soliola running at Hodges. For the Broncos sake, I hope Tate can tackle two players at once. Then again, I could be completely wrong - maybe Hodges has grown a heart since moving back to Canada.
