Storm V Roosters

[RobbieRoss]

Boyd Cordner is out for the Roosters. With Smith, Cronk, Slater and Chambers out and also no Ryley Jacks named, my guess is Hughes will be fullback with Munster and Croft in the halves

I reckon that is spot on.

As much as I hate SOO period in its adverse impact on our team( we are probably conceding this match to Roosters, when a win would have put us 3 games clear of them ) , I think the club is doing the right thing by its veterans. Particularly with the bye after SOO 3, they should be fired up ready to go for the last part of the season.

I would however expect a full complement against Broncos next weekend. Cooper had a 17 day break between Knights game and SOO2, and it is another 9 days between SOO2 and Broncos.

Looks like Hughes will make his debut for the club. Interesting how Smith has moved into the starting 13...

Not bad, I like it given the cattle available.

If I were the Roosters, I'd be peppering our edges all night. Both sides will have halves and centres not used to defending together. Add to that Young and Scott have had defensive decision issues at centre this year.

If the young kids can snag a win in this game, now THAT would be something.

Final line-up.

Another game of praying we keep it close while Brandon Smith is waiting for his card on the bench!

[yourhero]

Really worried about this one...

[yourhero]

Hughes playing fullback. Munster at 5/8.

[yourhero]

Two passes already from Griffin that could have been called forward...

[Inglis#3]

Craig stop being stubborn and get rid of Tonumaipea.

Bring on Brandon Smith too.

100%. Bellamy has to wear some responsibility for that try. Persist with Young at centre after what he has shown this year, expect much of the same.

[Inglis#3]

I assume he gets more leash because he's a Victorian. Only thing he does well is dummy half runs.

[Inglis#3]

Can't wait for Brandon Smith to come on and give our attack some spark.

[LESStar58]

Young is worthless. Missed the tackle on Aubusson leading to the try then glops on the 4th tackle.

Should be released at the end of the year.

[Inglis#3]

Huge break there. 12 point turnaround.

[yourhero]

Lucky. All @ss.

The Roosters try was off a six again call. I wasn't confident on that one either... Big sigh of relief
