Round 15 vs Sydney Roosters

[Red]

The irony is that we and the Roosters are almost certainly going to be the 2 teams most affected by Origin. So who has the better depth and who which coach gets his players fired up for the game?
I have no idea about the Roosters but we'll have:

• Hammer > Fuller
• Cobbo > Naufahu
• Flegler > Kaufusi
• Plath > Donoghue and Su'a onto the bench
• Finefeuiaki > Keeley

Which are some pretty decent back ups TBH. Kaufusi will retire and Fuller is content to be a backup rather than go to another club on a short-term deal but I suspect the other 3 will be in first grade next year.

Donoghue has come on great. Cut the errors out etc. The worry I have is we recruited Knowles. You cant keep all 3 and expect to resign Herbie, Bostock etal. To find space in the cap you need to let some go to keep others. As good as Knowles has been, id rather we hadnt signed him, leaving cap space for Herbie and Bostock.

Now your faced with losing Donoghue from a stacked position.

It will be interesting to see how they work it. Maybe Saifiti, Kaufusi salaries being off the books gives us relief.

For mine Bostock and Herbie are must resigns.

Donoghue is signed for longer than Knowles. If one has to go, I think it'll be Knowles.

I doubt he will either but I doubt more Donoghue or Plath will go before him.

going be really intresting especailly with the fsct they play brain p in the forwards in qld cup now guess that depend where he ends up in the forwards or backs in nrl if kurt n plath stay really do think they must be looking for a stronger back up hooker
