This is the most vulnerable the Roosters have been for years. If there was ever a time to get them, it would be now. In saying that, they still have Tedesco who could probably win the game on his own and Sam Walker looked very good on debut last week. We’ve lost our last 5 games against the Roosters with our last win coming in the form of a 44-12 thumping on the Central Coast in 2017. A big opportunity to break that mini hoodoo this week.

I think we can get them. I’ll go 16-14 to us.

Fifita in Tupouniua out. Run at that Butcher all night, how he gets a start baffles me.

How's he been playing for the Jets?

Sam Walker had a solid and steady debut which is exactly what Robinson would have wanted. He never looked flustered, and showed signs that he already has a good footy brain, which was evident at times during the game including that very good try assist. I hope we don’t just concentrate on Tedesco when it comes to their attack. That would be a mistake.

Wanna see our forwards absolutely hunting Walker (legally).
Give him the Flanju treatment Graham.

Ridiculous how good their side still is with the outs they have, outside backs lineup is insane.

I foresee Tony getting a few points in the 3-2-1

(I’m not a moderator btw. I got a DM from MarkBastard a couple of years ago telling me he’s made me a moderator, and it shows me as being one - but I’m not. I can’t even modify my own threads)

I would like to know also. Haven’t seen any reserve grade this year

How's he been playing for the Jets?

went the Sharks feeder thread. mentions little about fifs form
I don't know
thought he was injured; thought he's in jets because of defensive issues; thought he was on the outer and apparently going to dragons in a few rounds.
over it now :glasses-cool:

have to watch this kid. he stepped up in his first game; agreed, was quite solid. he looks like he's up to it and slot in well within their side but who wouldn't with a team like that. just pass to a guy that can find the line!!!

despite injuries; they still have quality on the park
one warrior pummelled young walker (can't remember who) he got up and carried on. maybe a second week of it might work!!!

I just hope Wade is smart about it, Robinson would be well are aware Wade likes to come in sort of blindside & whack the halves, it won’t surprise me if they put on a play leaving Wade to look foolish.

You must of read my mind Egg. Was just going to type “Not too shabby”. Be interesting to know how many minutes he played in each of those games. I reckon he is a chance this week.
