Round 15 vs Roosters

[soc123_au]

This should be a cracker, hopefully the boys are fired up and ready to rip in. @Tommy Smith will be shitting himself for this one.

This is a key game for us to ensure we finish top 4, given that the Roosters are another top 4 contender (and only one win behind us).

We need to treat it exactly the same as we did the game against the Dragons, and come out completely fired up. If we are up for it and come out with the right intensity, we should win, but it won't be easy.

If we come out and are off our game, we will lose.

It will also be more difficult without Kikau - he has been involved in a lot of our points this season, and has contributed significantly to our yardage and punishing defence.

Our pack plays well and they have nothing to stop us with.

Us by 12

Our game against Raiders was pretty poor by the standards we had played at lately. But Origin had a few of our guys playing flat and disrupted our training with both halves missing for all work between games.

Hopefully we continue on from where we were at prior to the bye this week. Show Roosters what a decent side looks like.

 

[OldPanther]

The Katoa/Egan dynasty is upon us.

interesting to see if they hold Blake back an extra week or not. The bench is pretty standard if Hetherington straight swap for Kikau. I'd rather May or someone to keep something different

 

[franklin2323]

The Katoa/Egan dynasty is upon us.

Have May as backup too. So plenty of strike power

 

[Sime_11]

No Kikau will be tough, but I have every confidence that whoever replaces him will do his job as it has been done most of this season.

cant fn wait for this game - IMO this is our true NRL rival - much rather beat the Roosters than Eels anytime.

Lets Go Panthers !!!!!!

 

[Luke Bowden]

Hate the Roosters! Time to step up another gear! This will be epic.

 

[TeamSatan]

We really lacked some punch against the Raiders.
Still worry about us having clever plays inside the 20.
Penalties have been killing us as well.
If we are up and get a decent go from the ref we should win.

The Roosters present dangers. Obviously Tedesco is one but he can be stopped by a committed defence. Cronk with his crossfield kicks to Mitchell, Ferguson and co is a much trickier proposition, especially with our rookie wingers. Cronk has to be shut down. That is the key I believe. They can't beat us up front.

I wouldn't mind seeing Hetherington get some time on an edge this week. Have seen him a couple of times play wide & he looked good.

Round 2 he scored 2 tries in NSW Cup in the backrow. Though Yeo goes to lock when Kikau comes on. I think they will keep him in the middle instead of moving Yeo.
I think our bench will be Egan, Tamou, Hetherington, Ellis which is so basic but it is only for a week

Whare marking Mitchell should be a good battle too. The Whare of 3 years ago would bury him good test

 

[Whino]

We were a little flat last week time to bounce back with a brutal performance come Friday.
RCG and co to hopefully smash the chooks brittle pack.

 

[Sime_11]

keep the roosters attack in their own half and giving away no piggy backs downfield goes along way to us winning. But easier said then done with Uncle Nick bribing the officials.

 

[betcats]

Not impressed with the rorts forwards. Roll up the middle, don't give away penalties.

 

[unKwn]

f**k theres no team I hate more than the roosters. let's make Cleary think twice about leaving to that shit hole come Friday night
