Round 9 | Roosters 24-6 Knights @ Allianz | Sunday 3pm

What's tui done wrong? :?

 

[Frederick]

Wait never mind, he's got a corked thigh

 

[Jobdog]

#NRLsydnew CHANGES for Newcastle - Buderus + Tuimavave OUT, Costigan to hooker, Cuthbertson comes in at lock. Fa'aoso starts at prop

 

[Burwood]

How will Costigan go chasing the ball around the field for a long period of time? I can see him defending in the position quite well, but I think he'll be getting a lot of help from team-mates when it actually comes to distributing the ball from dummy half. Lots of Tahu and Naiqama helping out you'd imagine until Hilder comes onto the field.

 

[Chicken_Hunter]

Wow, really? Why play nev at hooker when Hilder is way better and can play the whole match there? I guess Wayne see's something that I dont.

There was also talk in the courier mail today that Nev is a chance for the utility spot for QLD as he can cover all the forward positions including hooker.

Also read in the paper that the NSW utility spot is very close between Reynolds, Mullen and Hinchcliffe. So a big game today for Mullen against pearce could snag him the NSW bench spot.

Costigan had a stint at dummy half a few weeks back and did really well actually. He'll start the match there which is good IMO and Hilder will continue his usual role, but with more game time this time around.

If memory serves me right, Costigan was the starting hooker for PNG in the World Cup and didn't do too badly.

Threw a weird ball to Snowden and made Snowden make a mistake...

 

[Yosh]

Nooo boyd!!!

 

[Jono078]

What?

 

[Yosh]

We look like premiership winning defence!

 

[Yosh]

We committing suicide again with drop balls and penalties...

 

[Yosh]

Thankfully we have the best goal line defence I've EVER seen from a Knights team.

 

[Tom155]

lol huge falcon, boyd saved us there

 

[Liam]

Remind me why Cuthbertson is in first grade again.

 

[Tom155]

again our defence is outstanding, roosters have had all the ball

 

[Yosh]

Mullen

 

[Yosh]

Mullen for origin!!!

 

[Jono078]

Brilliant, brilliant effort by us!

Onya Mullen!

 

[Jono078]

Another 5th f**king tackle penalty. f**k they're a ball breaker.
