Mason Lino comes in at halfback for Shaun Johnson (ankle). Issac Luke has been named despite dislocating a shoulder last week. Simon Mannering starts in the second row with Isaiah Papali'i moving back to the bench.

Roosters: 1 James Tedesco, 2 Joseph Manu, 3 Latrell Mitchell, 4 Mitchell Aubusson, 5 Blake Ferguson, 6 Luke Keary, 7 Cooper Cronk, 8 Siosiua Taukeiaho, 9 Jake Friend (c), 10 Dylan Napa, 11 Boyd Cordner (c), 12 Ryan Matterson, 13 Isaac Liu

The Roosters have named an unchanged 17 with Victor Radley fronting the judiciary on Tuesday night to have a high tackle charge downgraded. Nat Butcher and Frank Paul Nuuausala are the likely replacements in the reserves if Radley is unsuccessful.

Will be battling through a ripping hangover to get up at 7AM in Barcelona to stream this one. Waking up last weekend to see we hammered the tigers was so bittersweet. Sweet because we smashed the pricks, bitter because it was the first win I've missed since 2012.

The boys are tracking so well I don't even care who gets named on Tuesdays because I have faith whoever's name is down will do the job. C'mon boys!!!

Issac Luke out
Replaced by part time underwear model Karl Lawton

I was wondering why the Roosters had suddenly shortened on the TAB.

Lets hope Karl Lawton has an awesome game like last week..

Going to be wet.. probably a forwards battle..
Oh well, the chooks do not hold the ball that well even on dry tracks.

 

[janfin]

Loving the fact that we are now no longer reliant on just one or two players ...We will take this out by you guessed it 6 .. add the fact that Royalty is going to this extra special game Just a shame that it’s taken this long to be given indigenous status

 

[brightman]

Bad weather is going to make this an interesting game..

 

[jonno]

Our last 10 games against the rourters is 5 wins, 5 losses.

But we're currently on a 4 game winning streak ATM.

Our other winning streak (longer than 1 game) is vs the Titans which is 5.

Go the mighty ARL Warriors...

 

[Gizzyfan]

Luke is a loss for sure. Lawton however brings strengths as well. He is very fast good defender. He seems like a guy people like playing with (shut up Deranged).

Wet day completions will be key. There will be a lot of one offs. Another plus for Lawton.

That area will have to be organised as we have only two kicking options. I dont know whether Lawton has a decent kicking game.

 

[flying coconut]

Not sure on his kicking game but he came through the grades as a half so he should have on.

Make that horrific weather...my MetService app just updated to say 37.9mm of rain at 4pm!

 

[flying coconut]

It's a shame about the weather,really makes the game 50/50.

 

[Run_it_str8]

Harris will be creator today and will benefit Lino Hiku and Fusitu'a.

I pick Roger Tuivasa-Sheck to come right at times as well.

Fusitua to get a hat trick.
Lawton to pass the final pass for Blair to score 2 mtrs left of the post.

Roger Tuivasa-Sheck to score after backing up a Paasi offload and burning Mitchell and Tedesco who are already thinking about Origin.

Ken to run 200mtrs +.
Green to get a 40/20 early.
Bunty to score finishing off a 65 mtr sweeping movement going through the hands to barge over in the tackle of Aubusson.

Cronk to have a spazz at Friend for being an ass.

Fusitua to catch every ill advised bomb on his side.

We are winning this one.

Will we be listening to national anthems today?

 

[rugged]

NRL website has Jazz in for Cook which was to be expected I suppose

Kind of logical given the weather, even despite the hamster lobbing contest we saw from Tevaga in Melbourne. The passes will be kept short today in the wet, and his defence has well and truly passed the litmus test this year.

Hope Jazzy goes algood today, because he doesn't shy away from the tough stuff and brings a good attitude.

There's no such thing as bad weather. You're just wrongly dressed for it!

Best place to stream or watch replays?
I'm in the states....

2 mount wellys?

 

[matiunz]

Weather will be the great leveller, hoping the ‘travel’ will spook the chooks and Sydneysiders seem to freak out when there’s a bit of rain so hoping it effects them

 

[matiunz]

2 mount wellys?

With the ultimate warrior avatar too - worst.sock.ever!
