Round 19 vs Sydney Roosters

[Eric]

It doesn't get any easier. Rorters will be looking to come home with a wet sail in order to finish top 4 or at least consolidate their place in the top 8. I know they had some bad luck with injuries last year but they've had an incredibly good run this year, haven't they?

More importantly, what are we going to do? Will Couchman be fit? Stewart will be. No idea what's going on with paper-man Sele but not a big loss if he's out. I'd say Stewart has to replace Lawrie. He didn't play badly yesterday but not really up to NRL anymore. In my view anyway. If Couchman is fit, he should replace Gular. Mike Molo yet again didn't let anyone down. I've long believed he's better than his bigger name older brother.

 

[Dave03]

Molo defs deserves another shot. Guler potentially injured, only played 25mins & he's been average at best tbh. Stewart for Guler & Holmes for Allan. Couchman is gone for the season. I'd also go Nick T for Lawrie or Fifita. I hope Luch & RFM don't return to 1st grade straight away, toil away in cup.

Luch has been underwhelming but still in the best pack available for selection.

Surely not Allan in and Finau out.

I could definitely live with Finau over Allan but I think Flanno prefers Allan

I'd love to see Holmes & Finau combo again, their combo in CS was amazing. I'd like to see the following side:

1. Gutho
2. Finau
3. Holmes
4. Suli
5. Sloan
6. LKT
7. Kyle
8. JDB
9. Cook
10. Klemmer

Don't think that will be the bench Flanno has a soft spot for Leilua

[Dave03]

Happy with the backline, unhappy with the pack. Guler doesn't deserve his spot, imo Loko should replace him with potentially Nick T for Lawrie too. Happy Molo is in the 17, deserved it after a very good performance last game.

Apart from #7 seems to be a pretty good team. But I'd also swap Gular and Lawrie for Nick T and LPT. Glad Sione wasn't dropped.

 

[redv13]

Guler is the luckiest man in the nrl this afternoon. Thought he was a gonski this week after last weeks performance

 

[Justadragon]

Very happy for Finau, unfortunately the rorters have all their stars returning from injury and origin, including Walker, couldnt have picked a better day.

Is Walker better than the halves they have now? Better in attack but he's a liability, someone to target in defence. His attack isn't much better either. Does good things himself but doesn't set the team up as well.

All
I can do Morgan is remember a few Anzac Day games ago and have vivid memories of how he has tore us apart, he gave Hunt a bath every time we played them.

They'll be fired up after a shock loss last week as well.

In the depressing second half of the season, I've been impressed by Klemmer a few times though I can't fathom them letting JDB go only to re-sign Klemmer.

I think the powers to be didn’t want JDB being the most caped dragon in history. That’s my view on this

We’ve never been successful in targeting him in defence before so I can’t see much changing. He always carves us up.

Usually has the ball on a string with his kicking and kills us each time
