Your team v Roosters

My thoughts re possible team v Roosters.
Think there’ll be some changes for tactical reasons, Naden to mark Tupou on one wing( height) and Staines on the other.
Olam/Douhei centres, Klemmer back v JWH/Luenu, Pole to 13.
Older heads needed against Roosters, young guys would be too vulnerable imo.
 
My picks if everyone is fit would be:

Bula
Alaimalo
Olam
AD
Staines
Galvin
Sezer
Klem
Api
Uto
SamF
Porter
Pole

Naden
Seyfarth
Twal
Sione F

I don't care if my nan plays for us as long as we beat the cheating mongrels and piss on their milestones.
 
Looks good, my only change would be Naden for Alaimalo.

On most occasions Alaimalo has looked good under the high ball and I think that Sam Walker, Dom Young and Tupou will test our wingers plenty.
Surprisingly Raiders did not test Faataape and Luke L at all. Two very short guys not particularly safe. Really poor tactical choices from them.

Same team as last week with Olam in for Naden
If Twal's back he's on the bench.
Klemmer on the bench........for the Magpies.
 
As much as Faataape and Luke L played well against the Raiders, the Roosters are a different prospect. Tupou and Dom Young on the wings will eat our young lads up. Need to bring in some bigger guys who can catch a high ball.
 
If we're talking Alaimalo then sure he's taller, but he can't catch and can't defend.
But yeah he'll look tall if that's what we're after.
 
The best club team in the history of the game has 2 short wingers.
This tall shit only counts if you're playing the game on paper.
When you've got momentum you run with it, you don't shatter blokes by dropping them because of their height.
 
Dropping Mason and Laulilli?

Pole to the bench?

Boooooo 😂
😂😂 love Luke L, don't wanna burn him too hard.

Played well.
No need to rush him.
Mason, hasn't really done much, has looked good tho.

Pole is my impact bench player
Come on and mix it up
