The key is getting the rolls delivered close to where they will be laid. If the site is flat then you will also be okay to roll up and down to get the striped effect.
Once loaded on the machine, cut off the mess and unroll a metre length to get the turf lined up, one person will pull the machine whilst the other guys ensures that the turf is "fed out cleanly" then he / she jumps round and pulls out the mesh as you un-roll.
Use a rake to re-position the turf once laid, hopefully it will only require a little tug or push in places.
I found that on one or two rolls I couldn't get them loaded on to the machine, the plastic spindles where broken so used these for in-filling.

If the turf centre isn't too far away, hold back from getting the small rolls till the next day just in case you are running behind schedule. A good soak in the bath after rolling the bad boys out is a must (why does that sound so wrong! LOL),
Yes, a slow hot soak in the bath seems like a good idea! No mental images attached!
