Raiders didn’t once kick to the rookie wingers.
Roosters 100% will. That’s my biggest worry for the rookies on the flanks. Hopefully Staines is back he at least is safe at the back.

 

[old_man_tiger]

Tricky to get right this week. Especially back 5 and bench depending on whos back

 

[king_sirro]

Is Bateman back? Please no.
Some things to consider for Benji with Twal and Klemmer back I assume. How does he get 2 middles into the 17?
Does anyone else agree that both Seyfarth and Sione Fainu have been engaging the line just as well as Matamua? Fainu is quite good at it.

So I'd use those 2 in the lock role, allowing Twal and Klemmer to come back in for Matamua and Kit.

I like how unorthodox Bateman is but if he comes back would like him to run hard and straight more often in attacking formations.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

A few milestone games for Roosters ...

Tedesco 150th
JWH 306th equal record for a Rooster
Trent Robinson coaching 300th

Time to spoil the party like they did to us in that 2010 qualifying final I'm trying to erase from my memory.

Personally I don't like how he's unpredictable. I think now that there's genuine creativity with Galvin, Sezer and Deouhi I don't think you need it. He breaks play down and often loses his head, giving away stupid penalties. If he just plays a boring role, makes his tackles and runs hard I'm happy, provided he doesn't lose focus.

 

[BlackWhiteGold]

Roosters will likely have Manu & Dom Young on right side with Jennings/Ethan King & Tupou on left side.

I'd go Olam & Naden (with Sam Fainu) on our left side this week with Doueihi & Staines on right side (with Bateman).

Olam defending Manu or Young would be the death of us. Naden too

Better alternatives?

[Sully]

Injury report said Bateman was touch and go this week ( Canberra ) and was held back one more week so that is assuming he is available this week. Latu Fainu also available if his report is good from the Melbourne Uni on his Hamstring
