The Roosters’ season is on the line as they try to unlock their superstars against a reborn and in form Dragons side.
Anasta has been impressed by the Warriors despite them falling out of the top eight after a poor outing against the Dragons. The nagging question with the Warriors is are they getting the best out of Roger Tuivasa-Sheck at centre, even allowing for Charnze Nicoll-Klokstad’s strong form at fullback.“When RTS played fullback, when Charnze was injured and he played great, I was then saying at that time I would go with RTS, just because we all know the quality of player that he is and how dangerous he is in open space,” Anasta said.
Anasta believes the Titans are improving slowly, but they face a massive battle just to avoid the spoon in 2024.“So in Canberra, they could have won that one, but it was a bit contentious and the Manly game, which I rate Manly.“I actually think Manly are the dark horse, I thought that from day one this year.“But they’ve struggled with their halves. Tanah Boyd the poor, bloke he’s had a tough year and you lose your confidence, I know what it’s like as a half.
“I think Des would be pretty shocked by it as well, but he needs to just improve their defence. I think he can do that, but time’s running out.”: The 9th place Dragons come up against the 11th placed Roosters in their traditional ANZAC clash with both side’s surprising with their position on the ladder for different reasons.
“You look at all the quality teams, the teams that are premiership contenders, they’ve got a No.9 that has good service and delivery and really just plays their role. “Mitchell Pearce brought up a good point, back when they won the comp in 2013 Tuivasa-Sheck and Minichiello, it was kind of a transition stage where Tuivasa-Sheck was moving to fullback and they’d often move Mini to the wing and they’d swap around a lot,” Anasta explained.
“I wouldn’t put him next to Keary at the moment the way he’s going. I think Keary has got to be better, so it’s a bit of a tough one for Robbo. The jury’s out.” “You wouldn’t have thought that three or four weeks ago, but they deserve it. Their improvement’s been great.”
