[Spoonman84]

Plenty of options there is Reimis doesn't get off at the judiciary.

 

[bradyk]

14 Christian Crichton

 

[_G-Dog_]

Our defence has alot of positives.. but our lack of tries is big issue against a team full of rep players..

 

[LordSidious66]

14 Christian Crichton

He will probably get dropped anyway.

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Harper it is lol

 

[bradyk]

Not one of our players would make the Roosters starting line-up when comparing the squads (just comparing down the list, Foran would make their side over Flanagan if we were mix and matching for e.g.) Good luck boys!

 

[Doggiezbrah]

As expected. Wonder where is Holland? Britt and Sue’s spots are expendable. I would love to have Wakeham on the bench instead of Crichton.

Big M said Holland is injured, great little cameo last night haha.

Holland got rib cartilage issues

 

[Howie B]

That roosters side is shit. Full of bulldogs rejects and an inexperienced halfback

Plus they havent even played a game at Bankwest. First start at the track

Surely even an optimistic Roosters fan couldnt see anything other than a comfortable bulldogs victory......

 

[Horse]

Upset brewing.

 

[Dogna88]

Surely Harper gets put in.

Regardless if he ia going to Manly or not.

I hope so. I wont hold my breath for Pay to name him though.

 

[The_Chimpster]

A much better halves pairing would have been :
6 Foran
7 Wakeham


Lewis gooooooooooone, never to be seen again until he pops up in a warriors jersey

What have the Warriors done to deserve that?

 

[The_Chimpster]

What have the Warriors done to deserve that?

Fair play, a dragons Jersey

 

[JayBee]

Huge game for us.

If Harper doesn't play - we probably lose by 40 and the Kennel goes ballistic
If Harper DOES plays - we probably lose by 41 and the Kennel goes ballistic

 

[The Innovator]

If the Roosters can’t win by 20 it’s an upset.

 

[_G-Dog_]

Hoppa . B Moz . J Moz . Smith . DWZ would look good right now...
