North's team:

F Howard Weatherley Ladhams
HF Allan Alleway S.Motlop
C Ryswyk Wintle Bamford
HB Hart Schubert Krieg
B Cubillo McIntyre Grose

Ruck Wakelin Sporn Younie

Interchange from: D.Ebert Cunningham Pfieffer Martin O'Hara

In Ebert Sporn Pfeiffer
Out Gatto (hamstring)

Could be a tough day at the office for the Bloods.

If they get Walsh back, as well as Cupido and Glover, they look OK on paper but the Roosters will be pretty keen to get a win on the board, particularly in front of the Prospect faithful.

North 31-40

Porplyzia is out this week playing for the crows

north should win this one easily.

Why should North win this easily?
In case anyone hasn't noticed, we haven't won a game yet this year.
I am not panicking about this, but I would not be rushing out to take short on odds on them either.

oh give me a break, its ******* west adelaide....really punk, with norths team of stars, they have it in the bag. If north lose, then jars should get the sack, then maybe wedgie will be happy

i know its early in the season and all and north havent played well at all this year so far incl. trial games, but north just are too strong all over the field and have too much class, exp etc for west.

Looks like we have another Rooster convert here Punk. Just going onto the club site to see if the membership total has increased by 1

Jimmy, i don't think it's going to be a walk in the park for North. Most would put
North down as favourites, and deservingly so, but West have a much better team
this year and expect a bit of a contest from the red and blacks....There are a lot of
good players on bothsides, but being played at Prospect might just be enough for the roosters.

An interesting stat for todays game. Been a while since the Bloods played a team below them on the ladder!

might venture down to prossie oval toady ....might even go down to the bar down the southern end and bump in to wedgie crew
