Pick Your Team Pick Your Team 2023 Rnd 2 - Roosters vs Warriors

[Barty]

Really?
What team other than the Roosters have 3 - 4 certainties of their top 17 out injured for the first 4 rounds?

Happy to be proven wrong, but when we constantly have injury issues (last 3 years have been shocking) I think it might be something worth looking at

Casualty Ward

Check the Official NRL Casualty Ward, which players are injured, and who is expected to make their way back onto the field and in the game.

Check that out if you need proof!!!

Storm, Eels, Sharks, Tigers, Titans, Rabbitohs.. list goes on.

 

[Horriors2013]

If the Roosters are struggling for parity in the forward we have a huge advantage. Our forwards should be able to smash theirs with the players they have out.

The Dolphins did it well physically taking on their forward and then they were able to exposed Walker one on one numerous times. Copy that plan and get our second rower and centre targeting Walker. He’s small and as well as running through him we can fatigue him out of the attack.

The Dolphins showed us exactly how to play them.

Same team but give Ale more time in the field with his energy and enthusiasm being exactly what we need to win the middle.

Roosters were without the other $3 million of their salary cap - oops did I say that?

 

[Horriors2013]

Just watched a repeat of the game on Youtube. Te Maire Martin has some really deft touches that almost led to tries - Williame could have had one for sure. His tackling was good too. . I reckon Knights are a lock-in for top 8 as are we. It was a B+ performance IMO. So really pumped to see this team develop this year.

Butcher only fined!!

Judiciary Report: Dolphins duo face bans, Randall charged

Dolphins players Anthony Milford and Jarrod Wallace are each facing lengthy bans after being cited for offences in Saturday night's loss to the Warriors.

Of course - Sydney Media's favourite club get what they want.

Storm, Eels, Sharks, Tigers, Titans, Rabbitohs.. list goes on.

Not really tho.
My point - what other team has started the season with 4 or more players from their best 17 injured for the first 4 rds.

Storm - Olam, Paps, Kamikamica yes. Sims and Eisenhuth back Rd 2
Eels - Lane yes, others available less than first 4 rds, Matto suspended
Sharks - Hynes 1 Rd, Hunt tbc
Tigers - Maumalo tbc
Titans - Fermor and Herbert tbc
Rabbitohs - Knight and Havilii indefinite, Host Rd 3

 

[Horriors2013]

Had my doubts with Pompey And Kosi, still do.....but they played well against the Knights and importantly certainly didnt let the team down.

Obviously Roosters will be a different kettle of fish and are capable of applying different pressure, but i think on the basis of last week (and now with D W Z out) they deserve their re-selection for this game at least.

Yeah I doubted both but they have shown improvement. Hope it continues.

I think Marata Nuikore is injured from R1. He looked like he pulled his groin muscle. I'm be surprised if he is named in the team today. Josh Curren to take his spot.

 

[Mullayo]

Of course, Butcher cleared the judiciary.
Wouldn't surprise me if Radley passes HIA as well.
JWH will surely get up off his deathbed, and Manu will likely show too.

So what? Hold our shape on D and smash them on the edges on O. Keary and wee Sammie are defensive turnstiles.
Nothing to fear but the bunker.

Bring in the Trik if Tevagas not back

 

[Dannevegas]

Who drops out for Tevaga, out of Bunty and Ale? I’d keep Ale on the bench. Or do we just stick with Bunty and Ale

 

[uncmase]

They will be missing half their starting forward pack. JWH still out?

Might be signing a Contract? I don't know if he thinks he saw him or not. Someone might be able to confirm he was or is in NZ. He's a hardcore c*ck supporter. So he's probably crying if he did lol.

Anyway, Same team as last week. Don't fix what ain't broke.

 

[Bangbros 2023]

Should be the same team.

I watched a reply last night as well. We played even better than I remembered. Always see a lot more on the 2nd/sober watch
