Cooper donkey and now friend... the girl who backed us on nrl.com has inside info it seems

 

[Waz13]

I’d luv us to beat them tomorrow to shut that p**** Fletcher up. Picked us to get the spoon on johns show and this week picked his side over us to have the biggest win margin. I hate easts and fletcher.

Who goes to hooker for them ? Radley and baptise? Hmm we could win

 

[Mal Cochrane]

someone from outside the 21 named

Radley is playing 9

 

[Cliffymagic]

Maybe they want to give thier trial team another crack at us.

 

[Deleted member 26876]

Much rather play them full strength but I guess it will help us long-term anyways

Lachlan Lamb. Could be very dangerous as we like to play rookies in to the lime light these days

 

[tookey]

2 down 15 more to go before 7.30 pm tomorrow

We certainly have a real chance of winning, especially now.

I wonder if Turbo could be a late addition?

Not if he wasn't named in our 21 and last week's FB in Elliot has been named. Sorry.

People have played despite not being named in the 21 in the past

I'd rather play them with our full strength not theirs. We already know what they are capable of.

"Nick politis has applied to the NRL for an exemption to play Cameron Smith at hooker to replace the injured Jake Friend for tonight's game against the sea eagles.

It is believed the NRL is likely to give it's approval as it looks to continue its strategy of ignoring the roosters salary cap abuse."

Especially this early in the year, we need to get some winning form happening. Plenty of time to be tested later in the season.

You are spot on. Early wins, no matter how ugly will give us much needed confidence. We got tested by the Tigpies, so we do not need to play the Rorters, Storm, Broncos or Souffs full strength to know where we stand.

 

[Dankseagles]

A chance of winning with a back 5 of Parker, Suli, Elliott, Taufua and Garrick?

I hope I am wrong but I don't think we stand much chance. That back 5 is so average it hurts. Suli and Garrick are potential stars in the making but overall very dismal.

Agree with all of that , our real Achilles Heel right there
