Welcome to League of Titans

Round 12: ROOSTERS vs TITANS

Don't think we'll win, but Roosters weren't that convincing against the Warriors. Pressure Keary and they may fall apart. That said, Roosters by 20.

If he is slotting in at fb.. hope Thompson stays in the team.. he looks dangerous everytime he touches the ball

Most on here would’ve seen it already but AJ is starting at fullback.

Just logged in and saw this. I'm excited to see him back! It's been a long few months!

I agree. I really like Thompson for those reasons. He is always live.
 
Roosters v Titans: Morris twins out; Lisone sidelined
https://www.nrl.com/

The Roosters need the two points to remain in touch with the three teams above them while the Titans continue their search for week-to-week consistency.

You know exactly what you're going to get from a Trent Robinson-coached Roosters team while the Titans, despite showing signs of improvement in 2020, remain a work in progress.

With 80 good minutes against the Roosters they're a chance. Any less and things will be very difficult.

Team news
Roosters: Ryan Hall replaces the injured Brett Morris (back) on the wing while Josh Morris (calf) was ruled out on Friday, be replaced by Mitchell Aubusson at left centre. Nat Butcher shuffles to the starting second row and Daniel Suluka-Fifita claiming the vacant spot on the interchange bench.

Drew Hutchison has been cut from the side, leaving Christian Tuipulotu and Egan Butcher as the two remaining reserves.

Captain Boyd Cordner remains sidelined due to concussion worries. The Roosters need four points to reach the landmark tally of 40,000 points scored since 1908.

Titans: Keegan Hipgrave returns in the second row. Sam Lisone (shoulder) and Erin Clark were omitted 24 hours before kick-off with Sam Stone promoted to the interchange.

Livewire fullback AJ Brimson (back) is included on the reserves and coach Justin Holbrook on Friday said he would play his first game of 2020 if he pulled up alright after their final training run.

Titans winger Anthony Don has scored six tries in nine games against the Roosters.

Key match-up
Jared Waerea-Hargreaves v Moeaki Fotuaika. JWH remains one of the best props in the NRL, consistently winning the battle in the middle third of the field. Fotuaika's rapid climb up the front-rowers ranks has been impressive. Now he has the chance to test himself against one of the best props of the past decade.

Stat Attack
You could not get a greater gap when it comes to rankings for missed tackles than you have between these two teams. The Roosters have the fewest missed tackles of any team (275) while the Titans have the most (397). After 11 games, that means the Titans, on average, miss 11 more tackles than the Roosters each week.
 
I know it's most likely too much to want for, given that it's his first game back...but jeez I'd love to see AJ light it up today!
 
I hope it's a straight swap for Sami with Corey going to wing and not aj on the bench and doing a big reshuffle 30 mins J to the game
 
No matter what happens today, at least we’ll have the donkeys blowing a lead to lose to the baby sharks last night.

Baby shark doo do doo do do do.
 
How does Thompson get dropped when he's the only one of our back three that runs hard and fast getting us out of our own end
