Jamie will start.
If not then Price has overstepped his mark. I am amazed how quickly people forget this guys talent and commitment. It wasnt that long ago he palyed origin.
Imagine telling Bengi, or Cronk, or Thurston... you are benched.
What a load of cr...
Im not disputting your source here, just putting my ten cents worth.
I respect Fien immencely, however a fit Sowie can change a game in a blink of an eye. You dont frop players of that ilk or passion.

Soward will start, Fien back to the bench, king drops off.

Thats if Soward is fit enough to play.

Anything else would be silly.

Price like any winning coach will be reluctant to change the side. So I wouldn't be suprised if this info is correct. Bring Soward on when the oposition is tiring and tell him to take the line on big time.

In any case we should smash the chooks by 40, they have been dreadful for a while now.

Actually it may not be a bad idea.

Soward's form is a bit down. Maybe he has been disagreeing with the coach (I don't know) and his back hasn't been right (apparently). So start with Fien as he is much more physical and plays much straighter. Then bring Sowie on when the forwards are tiring. Or maybe leave him off until Rein needs a breather if the halves are playing well. Fien is our back up hooker anyway (although once again King misses out). It's not like you are carrying an unnecessary back on the bench.

Have no doubt about it, the Roosters will come out hard on the weekend. They will go straight up the middle. The more I think about it, the more I like it.

All weekend we have been saying how Fien was awesome (really how do you drop a guy who actually directed the backline and led them to two victories) but that Soward is the better half (on reputation if not on form). Maybe this way we get the best of both worlds.

Rumors Proven Correct:

March 2012 - Morris to Fullback
June 2012 - Lewis to Sharks
June 2012 - Stuart will coach Dragons or Eels
Must I go on!!!

Morris to fullback? Everyone suggested it because Kyle was doing it tough.
Lewis to Sharks? Who didn't know that? Every body knew.
Stuart will coach Dragons or Eels? Nice one. The Eels was obvious. Good guess.

Do go on. No, stop. You are just an impostor who likes big noting himself.

This has been thrown around far to much this season, I will be happy just to win afterall we have won only one away game all season way back in round 1 plus chooks will be desperate to avoid the spoon especially with the likes of Parra and Penrith winning this weekend. This will be a close game like most of our games this season I can't see our attack improving until next season.

Roosters looked like world beaters (early on) in last weekends game, ended up getting towled, but forget winning by 40 lol, we showed against the Storm that nothing has changed in our ability to put teams away.

Although I don't agree with it if it happens, it will be interesting to see how Soward responds to it if it does eventuate.

The way I see it, he can prove Steve Price wrong by coming off the bench and having a blinder or go into a shell.

C'mon Sowie, show em what your made of!
demoting a confidence player never works. just as was the case when kearney demoted sandow. hopefully its not true
