Andrew Johns has shared a rumour doing the rounds in the eastern suburbs of Sydney that would flip the Roosters' Magic Round clash with the Cowboys on its head.
Speaking to Brad Fittler for Wide World of Sports' Freddy & Joey's Tips, Johns picked the Cowboys to beat the Roosters in what would be one of the upsets of the season, after hearing that gun teenage halfback Sam Walker was going to be rested.
Walker, who re-signed with the club yesterday and has been a sensation since making his NRL debut in Round Four, has been named in the No.7 jersey for tomorrow night's clash, but Johns isn't expecting him to run out onto Suncorp Stadium.
"I heard a whisper with your gang, down at the pool at Bronte," Johns started, with a grin on his face, "you know the guys down at the pool who used to do the crosswords, that they're going to rest Sam Walker and it's going to be Lachlan Lam, Joseph Manu in the halves."
Replied Fittler: "There you go. They know."
Johns: "Oh yeah, they know a lot of things."
Despite that information, Fittler wasn't swayed to tip the upset, sticking with the Roosters to win it and adding that "Joseph Suaalii's a chance of playing."
