Whilst Carroll is missing, the tackling machine Stagg is still there. Our D will be fine.

Roosters stars return
By Dean Ritchie and James Hooper
March 25, 2005
HALFBACK Brett Finch and fullback Anthony Minichiello are poised to make high-profile returns for the Sydney Roosters in tonight's NRL game against Brisbane at Aussie Stadium.
The pair were not initially named in the Roosters squad on Tuesday night but are ready for shock comebacks against the Broncos.
Finch was bracing himself for a six weeks absence after breaking both hands in one tackle during a trial match against Penrith last month on the Gold Coast.
It is expected he will start tonight's match from the bench.
"Brett is mending quickly," said Roosters coach Ricky Stuart. "He has trained quite strongly but still could be a week away from playing."

Somebody tell me... if Finch is making a comeback, but Nigel Plum is replacing Tupou, who drops out of the team??

JBW1983 said:Who was it who almost won the Dally M last year? And who was it who was probably rookie of the year 2 years ago? Finch and Firman? I believe so... put that together with an all-star forward pack and a backline with speed to burn and it ain't rocket science to figure out what is going to come of them now is it?
JBW1983 said:Firman played virtually his whole rookie season with barrett on the sidelines... that is why there was such a hype about him... he instantly took control of the team. Having a coach as hard a taskmaster as Stuart and there being so many big names (and egos i can admit that) at his new club its understandable that he's made a fairly nervous start to the season... not to mention coming back from a serious long term injury.
Finch, similarly, was used to playing half/five-eight for the raiders, always with the pressure of being the only real play maker and was virtually always one of their best on the field... Fair enough, last year he had the great Brad Fittler outside him but he still ran about 90% of the plays and kicking which proves he has an abundance of his own skill
