The best thing to say about the Roosters is they are rubbish as a team but they do have some key individuals who despite being in a crap team can hurt you.
Roosters were terrible last week on all levels and to think Fittler and Johns have this mob as Premiers for 2023β¦probably says more about them.
But can they be that bad again, i donβt think so but they do have some noise floating around the club with Ryles and Walker looking likely to depart .
My fears are around us, Lenui is a huge loss for us and how he impacts a game will be missed.
My other fear lays on our left side from Luai ,Peach and Turuva and i believe this is where Roosters will bombard us tonight.
Turuva is brave but that is it, Peach is not a NRL player and Luai is in the worst form of his last 3 years.
The only plus for us is its dry and is at home which one would think should work for us but that will depend on how we play. The fans will become hostile very quickly if we donβt turn up and put in a sub par effort.
Last week we had terrible 5th tackle options, players doing dumb things so we will need to have all this fixed for tonight because the Roosters will see this as a make or break game for themselves as well.
I fear we may miss Lenui too much which places a bigger load on Leota and JFH to not only play big minutes but to play hard big minutes.
Our defence whilst still not on song has been holding, our attack is where our issues are.
There should be no excuses tonight, a dry fast track will give both sides opportunities.
Maybe JWH and Radley have some brain explosions and get binned and they will test the refs, we will need to be disciplined because the 50/50 calls have been going against us.
This could go to Golden Point, i hope not but donβt see much between these 2 and thatβs a concern because the Roosters are rubbish.
Maybe tonight the Premiers turn up.
