Round Three: The Roosters

[Fangs]

Disappointing timeslot. 6.00pm Friday rules me out. This is one game I love to attend every year. Loved the Easter SFS matches of previous years. Good luck if you are driving peak hour to Sydney.

$1.50 favourites and I think that may increase. I'm feeling very comfortable this week.

Training run. It's a shame it's so early in the season, would have been the perfect chance to give half the squad a rest to freshen up for a decent challenge.

Should be similar to the Broncos game I think.

Put the pink defensive wall up, ensuring we handle their new stud White and target Chery-Evans like we did Reynolds.

I will never stop being terrified by comments like this.

The roosters are still missing leniu and radley,our forwards should be too strong for there pack.

Me too usually, we are talking about the Roosters here though, so you can relax.

Like to see Dyl sidestep their fullback(what’s his name the Italian Kid) for a try. Actually run over the top of him for a brace would be amazing.

Me too. Sadly I have far too many scabs and burns since my time of supporting Penrith (late 1980's). This is NOT going to be an easy game.

Difficult time slot for many too.

not so sure - Whyte and Collins can be very good on their day - Sharks forwards had our boys measure in the first half.

not an easy game - just gotta keep producing good defensive displays that we have currently.

Chooks are notoriously ill disciplined - hopefully we can exploit that and punish them on the scoreboard

Surely they don't go into this with the same attitude as last year when we played them in round 2.

 

[Frankus]

If Martin is back have him put in a little extra niggle to Angus at every opportunity and watch him implode. Crichton is a hot head and will lose what little cool he has.

Like me, so many bad years...

Is this the weekend the crack-down ends? If so, this could be a frustrating watch.

Agree! If we play to our best we win but won’t be easy it’ll be tough.

Roosters are a good side. If win thats 3 of the better sides in the comp youve played and gotten out of the way. Brisbane will come good again. It's just a matter of time. And when they do they'll go on a roll.
Warriors have been impressive also.

Yes, the Roosters are a good side.
Negatives- Ill disciplined, prone to pushing the limits which gets the referee offside and have a 37 year old liability who will be trying to stop our 19 year old phenom.

The Broncos may well "go on a roll" BUT, blind Freddy can see they are only a Payne Hass injury away from disaster. The rest of the Broncos, just see above about the Roosters negatives.

The Warriors have been impressive but with that have played both their games at home which makes for a tough road trip for any team.
Adding to that, Ricky's Raiders look like they've recaptured the Faders mentality. They struggled against Manly and were never in it against the Warriors.

Us and the Storm have really been the most consistent after 2 rounds.

Marto back and starting otherwise as expected. Luke Hanson a Penrith junior picked to start at 6 and make his FG debut for the worriers.

It's good to see Marto back. He's one of my favourite players. Not as talented as some, but wholehearted in his efforts.

Has Lussick come in for Cogger ?

Also been quite impressed with I Paps, he looks quite determined and some of his tackles are spot on.

Billy Phillips from Lake Cargellico he looks to have a good late pass in him. Doesn't look out of place in the 17.

Like always, wary of the Chooks team. They sail close to the wind regarding the rules too. Are very capable of putting it together on their day.

Should be a good game.

 

[Wetcats]

Cogger unavailable due to concussion.

 

[Oldpanther86]

Keen to see Lussick at 14 the club/players have been talking up his pre-season.
