Will Roosters shut Norman down?

Posted by Wile E. Coyote on May 10, 2017 at 1:11pm

Still without another established half partner the Roosters will obviously target NormanWill they be able to shut him down?Roosters are one of the better defensive sides this year. But even if Norman is shut down can we open them up out wide? - may be a case to put speed (Bevan) out wide with two inexperienced Roosters centres.This will be a good test for our forwards against one of the best forward packs

Looking forward to the game as it will be a defining game for how the eels will go this season. I would not like to see French on the wing in this game as the chickens wingers are very strong, with Tupou having one of he best leaps in the competition.

There will be a real need to shut down Pearce and our forwards will need to step up a bit more with no time outs again especially in the 2nd half.

  Fair enough
  Although Topou would outleap Hoff and Bevan and maybe even Semi just easily
  Need blockers either way
  
  Why don't we send our backs to the faints to learn how to jump?

If our forwards aim up and whoever plays 5/8 takes a bit of pressure off him then he should be ok

I reckon Norman is up for a big game. He wants to prove his worth and get a leg up against Pearce to try and crack the QLD team.
