Rd4 team v roosters

[Jay Eagle]

Real shame because Liam Knight would have got a shot I think!!!!

 

[Heckenberg]

He is fit as a fiddle. But if he plays 80 with 4 days break against the Roosters. Does he play 4 days later against the rabbits? He's not being dropped. Rested to be ready for the big game he can help us win against the rabbits!

brown played little minutes and he can also fill in at hooker. Id probably rather he was sitting on the bench and give parcell a rest than parcell not play.

 

[Ryan]

Guys - still think Taupau gets let off, but lets do this without him.

01. Brett Stewart
02. Jorge Taufua
03. Steve Matai
04. Jamie Lyon
05. Tom Trbojevic
06. Dylan Walker
07. Daly Cherry-Evans
08. Jake Trbojevic
09. Matt Parcell
10. Brenton Lawrence
11. Feleti Mateo
12. Tom Symonds
13. Jamie Buhrer

14. Nate Myles
15. Darcy Lussick
16. Josh Starling
17. Lewis Brown

and we win.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I doubt Marty will get off , but I do think Bird was falling so that might minimise the penalty.

Otherwise agree @Ryan that team can beat the Rorters.

Mind you they also are due for a win so it's not going to be easy AND they have a greater gap between games than we do, so let's not count our chickens before they hatch.

Lawrence will miss the rosters game. Cited for a hit on Ennis. Will miss a week because if carryover points. Our two best forwards both out. Someone's gunna get a chance to lift.

[Loobs]

Losing our best two attacking forwards. Will need a big effort this weekend. I'm not too sure where the replacements come from either. If you want to go like for like, you'd probably move Jake T into the second row and put Buhrer in to Jakes spot as Jake hasn't been running as effectively from 13 for mine - been more work horse type. Buhrer can replace that if up for it fitness wise.

BJ is the big loss for me because that spark off the bench has really lifted us. Who can provide that? I'm not sure.

 

[Clay]

Can we straight swap Tapau for Lussick and give him a shot at the edge?
Not a fan of Lussick but he hasn't impressed as a middle forward.
He would be worth a shot over Green, I hope TB doesn't bring green back this week

 

[manlyfan76]

Buhrer won't be up for an 80 Min performance like Jake was, he qill fill one of the small minutes rolls and Brown or Mateo will be promoted.

 

[Clay]

I read that Copley is out for four months with a torn pec.
Things keep getting worse for the roosters

 

[Loobs]

lol Barrett naming unchanged side including Tapau and BJ. Mind****ing all'a y'all

 

[Fluffy]

Great job Barrett, stick by your winners and make those outside more hungry.

Why not believe his Tuesday team is the team that will run out, a shedload of forum users did last week.

 

[Mataiforever]

With Taupau most certainly gone for a few weeks

[Bearfax]

It's too much like tonight's team. 4 days rest for the forwards! If the plan is to rotate players then we need to rotate players.

1. Stewart
2. taufua
3. Matai
4. Lyon
5. Tom
6. Walker
7. DCE
8. Vave
9. Koroisàu.
10. Lawrence.
11. Lussick
12. Symonds
13. Brown

14. Jake. Prop.
15. Mateo
16. Myles
17. Leary
18. Buhrer (Give him another run in NSW cup no hurry to race him back, and if Barrett's going on form, Leary earned a recall.).

Koroisau instead of Parcell? Lussick for Starling. Do you support the Roosters?

 

[HoldenV8]

Matt Parcell proved last night, 5 day turn around for the next 2 games or not, that he is the #1 hooker at the club. Dropping him for Koroisau, even just to rest him, is a step backwards. And with Brown on the bench we can afford to play Matty and Brown can be his back up if needed.

With Taupau and BJ out this week I'd have Ferris come in to the second row with either Lussick or Leary on the bench.

My pack would be: 8. Starling, 9. Parcell, 10. Myles, 11. Symonds, 12. Buhrer, 13. Trbojevic. Res - Brown, Vave, Mateo, Lussick (I've gone for Darcy to replace a prop with a prop).

 

[FlyingHigh]

Is there any chance Lawrence can challenge the charge and play?

 

[HoldenV8]

Is there any chance Lawrence can challenge the charge and play?

TBH I'm surprised BJ was even cited.

 

[Woodsie]

If BJ does play please leave him on the bench. The two best games he has ever played have been coming on after the first 20 min.

Still think Vave is an improver, and a taste of reggies might just have been what Lussick needed to lift.

 

[HoldenV8]

Vave surprised me last night. He's a big boy and though he takes a while to wind up, he bent the Sharks line a lot last night and usually it took at least 3 defenders to put him down.

With Jake proving he's an 80 minute player, we need two props on the bench to interchange with Starling and Myles. It could be argued that Mateo could play that role, but that takes him away from being a ball player and besides, he's not the bash and barge type anyway.

That's why I think it would be a better choice to play Lussick than Leary against the Rorters, especially given that we've lost Taupau's power game for a week.

 

[Woodsie]

OK, the big question. Do we need to overpower the rorters forwards (circa Feb 2016) or do we need to out work them?

Depending on your answer, your team will probably be different. Leary for Lussick for example.
