Now that is one very talented side. They'll need to be at their best this week running up against a very big and physical Warriors pack.
 
Does anyone know what's happened to Kurtis Rowe? He's been out for the last 4 games or so and originally it said he was out through illness. He's and outstanding fullback and I'm hoping he's no MIA…

I know Rowe had big wraps on him but he was disappointing in the games I saw him in

Rudolph has to be in the team somewhere but obviously so do sironen and miller

Rowe was out originally with illness but now needs to regain his match fitness.

Agreed. I understand Toddy said "Rowe hadn't done anything wrong" but from the games I saw I feel he played in patches. He sometimes showed glimpses of why he was an Australian Schoolboy, like the runaway try off the kick against the bunnies, but other times not so impressive!
Since moving to fullback though, Rudolph has been outstanding! His assist stats are impressive; always sniffing around the ruck for an offload plus he's the comps leading goal kicker and points scorer!! Definitely have to have him in the team! Add Sirro to 5/8 & Marshall-King to the bench, who also plays fullback, it looks like Rowe may have to bide his time before getting the call back!

I am looking forward to watching this game this week. The Warriors have been the benchmark NYC team for the last few years and I think our side this years has a lot of talent. Should be a very good game.
 
Me too, and if they can play 80mins of good footy they're definetly a beatable team! The roosters held them to 12-0 up to half time but fell asleep in the 2nd half…... And I think were a better team so it should be a great hitout!!

excellent side, I do feel sorry for Marshall-King being pushed to the bench and Rowe missing out all together, but someone had to make way for Sironen.

I reckon a few a being a little harsh on Rowe, I reckon he is very good, not perfect, but good.

Where do people see Rudolf's best spot, he has been excellent at fullback, but i think I prefer him at 6, either way he has been very impressive this season, reminds me very much of Benji. He has a couple more years of NYC left, so no rush to see where he fits at NRL level, but i think he has NRL all over him
 
Looking forward to seeing how our forwards aim up against NZ young giants. I'm hoping Moses gets a good stint of game time.

Yes he is very good, never said he wasn't! All as I'm saying is after reading and listening to all the massive wraps about him before the season, I kinda expected more from him! A little deflated after such high expectations I guess!!

As for Jordan, I really feel for him being relegated to the bench! Him and miller have combined well but I can see Toddy has gone with a proven combination for such a tough game! I'd like to see Sirro & Marshall-King in the halves together though!

I like Rudolph in either position but he did play fullback for Auckland so maybe he's more comfortable there which would explain the smooth transition?!
