Team List

I just watched Twal, Hope, Skelton and Staines do their press conferences. Every single one of them was interrupted by other players sh1t talking and distracting them.... I recall this happening in previous week's too.

I am all for banter, but with the club under as much pressure as it’s coming across as really unprofessional. I am guessing, but I can't imagine the roosters letting their players get away with this sort of sh1t

It is a reflection of the team and basically says they are in good spirits
I’d imagine these guys aren’t totally comfortable in front of the camera either
But yes it is one of those situations where the team probably needs to be spoken to about
The other view is that they are real and not programmed

I can't fathom having Charlie Murray on the bench in preference over
Royce Hunt . I like having a bit of big and powerful to mix with our generally lightweight pack .
Many times this year we've been overpowered by big powerful forwards
Tigers have always favoured lightweight mobile forwards
I think because it worked in 2005
Well it hasn't since , Raiders ,Warriors , are 2 clubs that have many big powerful forwards .In fact most clubs can out muscle us

Murray and Hope will alternate at hooker.

Sukkar should be the one to make way for Hunt. While he's been impressive in his stints in first grade, he's superfluous to needs with Seyfarth and Murray covering the backrow.

I have a feeling with Skelton mentioning that Latu will line up on the left this week that we will be keeping Doueihi in the halves going forwards. Just a hunch.

We lacked last week Latu in the middle, the energy and options he brings, by giving someone senior the organising responsibility we can unburden his game and let him play with more freedom in the link role through the middle until he is ready whenever that may be.
Otherwise Latu would remain on the right to continue to build confidence on that side.

I just watched the pre match presser with Hope and he fills me with confidence. He's a journeyman player. He has the reps. He can come in and do a job. He knows what he needs to do. I'm starting to warm up to our chances in this game 😅😅

Yesterday I got the feeling of us losing in yet an another close game, but I’ve changed my tune this morning and I am actually expecting us to win this one, against all odds! God is with us 🙏🏼

I haven’t been positive about this team winning games for about 10 years, in fact I always expect them to lose and it’s always a massive surprise to me when they win a game. So make what you will of my new found positiveness lol. I just think it’s time I expected good things to happen for this team and maybe it will play out on the field.

Yeah, hopefully our forwards will take it personally if they get 'outplayed' by this inexperienced pack.

However, we still will need to score some points and that looks like a big ask.

Our halves can throw a good ball and Latu has some speed so maybe they can do it.
 
I would have liked this as our pack this week May Hope Twal S.Fainu Sukkar Bird bench Pole Sione Fainu Seyfarth Hunt.
