NRL Casualty Ward: Gagai ruled out; Wests Tigers lose Tupou

The Knights have lost veteran centre Dane Gagai to a calf injury, while Wests Tigers winger Junior Tupou picked up a foot injury in Round 7.

The Sea Eagles have confirmed winger Jason Saab is set to miss six weeks with a high-grade hamstring injury suffered in that same game.

[40 nil]

It will be interesting to see if Schuster is selected for NSW Cup next week. If so, he may be considered for a bench spot for the Roosters. However, Waddell played well from the bench today.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Roosters are a good side this year, not going to be easy , but we do have the home ground advantage.

 

[Will on the hill]

If Shoe is fit and Saab is out there is a world where Garrick plays wing, Burbo plays centre and Shoe plays backrow. I'd prefer Talau or Raymond comes in but at least we have options.

 

[Nordburg]

Roosters are a chance of missing Leniu

 

[Rafferty]

Roosters are a chance of missing Leniu

Was a stupid thing to say, if it sticks his definitely gone. Sad part they have plenty of depth and won’t miss him. Unbelievable forward depth actually.

 

[KNUCKLES]

Brisbane were pretty flat today, I think if we take on the roosters with the same intensity as we did souths, we should be in a good position to get the win. Should be a good sunday arvo crowd at brooky as well to cheer the boys on

 

[Carl]

I like ray's passion but I don't think he's a great match up against the rooster giants. Maybe something else for round 2 and ray for round 3.

 

[mave]

Clayton gets my vote.

 

[master blaster]

Was a stupid thing to say, if it sticks his definitely gone. Sad part they have plenty of depth and won’t miss him. Unbelievable forward depth actually.

The thing is this will be JWH final year so he will going out all guns blazing for his farewell tour and you can bet he will target Brown and Robinson will be pleading leniency for JWH if he does anything dirty saying ,give him a break, its his last year so yes it will be a huge game for Brown

 

[PONTIAN SEA EAGLE]

I’m also worried about garricks side but honestly no parker please.Vaega on the wing

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Spencer is in big trouble for the Roosters

Was always going to be the case Mark, it's at saturation point on all the breaky shows this morning. Certainly heard a lot worse tbh.

 

[Ryan]

I think we are in with a good chance of beating these scumbags (sorry, Chooks / Eels my most hated teams). As for a reshuffle in the backline, for me:

01. Tom Trbojevic
02. Reuben Garrick
03. Tommy Talau
04. Tolu Koula
05. Jaxson Paulo
06. Luke Brooks
07. DCE

Hope we come with that same intensity, passion, heart and energy, as we did against the bunnies.

Yes but they are so “ touchy touchy “ about anything racial these days , so really you can’t say anything otherwise you’re in deep do do

 

[Tragic Eagle]

It’s a dumb dumb thing to say. Playing for a new club who have paid big dollars just to see him sitting on the side line. In my view he’ll get 3 weeks.

 

[Stewbojevic]

Vaega and Paulo up against Dom Young and Suualli… they’ll be bombing our wings all day.

That’s where we could lose it, I think we’re competitive everywhere else on the park.

 

[deanm]

Saw this on Facebook, Karl Lawton in Moonboot . Hopefully just a precaution ?!

 

[Remy]

Massive game and a big test for us. Roosters definitely look like they are not messing around this year and are actually going to try to live up to the stacked roster they have. Need a packed-out Brooky to get us over. With Saab most likely out (hopefully for not too long) I'm pretty sure Seibs is leaning toward Vaega on that wing as he mentioned him first in the presser as the likely replacement. Roosters will target our edges, especially with kicks with the height they'll have over our backs. Dom Young will be back and he carved us up last year at Mudgee. Defence has got to be much better than yesterday. Going to be a big one.

@Jethro note the header for this thread says the game is at Leichhardt Oval on 12 March, and similarly the Game Day thread.

As always, many thanks for the games' threads and all the details you always provide in them are much appreciated.
