TEAM LIST Round 18 v Roosters

[Tigrr2]

Laulilli defending in the centres worries me. How was he picked there before Faataape or Naden even? Put Tuitupou on the wing, or is he too big and powerful? Coach Benji is living the Sheens fantasy of picking small young players with potential before their time,

Two mug sides and I'm going to the game with low expectations.

 

[Squater]

Roosters by 80

Fk hope nit going to the game with rooster mate

 

[Flippedy]

I know we are low on troops, but they are missing so much fire power as well. I haven’t heard of most of their forwards! Surely this won’t be the walkover everyone seems to be expecting it will be.

 

[Muffstar]

Luke L will sort him out, or is that wishful thinking ?

I'd like to think you are right, I guess we'll find out Sunday.

 

[BAGNF05]

Can Fonua Pole break in to more than a canter? Last game was so frustrating as he appeared to just jog into the defence with zero venom. Just cause Luai is away doesn't mean these guys don't know what they're doing. They're adults and bloody professionals. Last week was a disgrace.

If we play like last week again, it's an easy 50 point hiding, if not worse.

A few years ago against Canberra he decided he would run hard and he nearly inspired a great come back. I honestly haven’t seen him repeat that effort since. Always looks just a little bit less than full throttle to me.

Roosters hooker sounds like a porn name.

Banana Lulu?

Do we have anyone in our team that gets even close to full throttle ?
I’d say the best we have in this regard are our two youngsters in Luke Laulilli and on occasions Heath Mason.
Charlie Staines and on occasions Turuva would be the only other 2.

Our forwards should compete.

I worry about Luke because the centre is such an important position defensively... Any time we've played someone other than Douhei and toa, we have been torn apart.

Hope just needs to distribute the ball and defend. Leave the attack to Latu and Douhei.

Turuva at fullback is exciting. I wouldn't be surprised if he has a blinder (if he isn't too cocky).
