Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Souths

[ChookMaster]

I haven’t been this nervous for a game in a long time.. the day is going to drag on isn’t it lol. If we win we will be in the 8, sharks will dust off Canberra and Penrith have a shot at the minors.

We have to win

[elo]

I'm expecting Souths to go out quite hard and blow us away, we have been poor at Homebush for years and not expecting anything different tonight.

It would be a fitting way for our season to end.

I'm so nervous too. I was out in the shed having a tinker and thought it was best I put the power tools away as I can't shift my focus away from the game.

It could be time for an early beer

I would hope that Jake Friend gets in Brandon’s ear to control our line speed with his energy. He needs a monster game.
Our defence will dictate how Souths play and mitigate what Cody Walker will try to break down our edges. C’mon!

[B2B]

We should win regardless of our injuries and suspensions. They are missing Burgess and Mitchell who on his day is the best RL player in the comp. They're also in a major form slump and I believe their coach has lost the dressing room.

Roosters 10 plus.

Up the Chooks.

With you all the way, we will win

[Ray Stehr]

Based on the above two contributions to this thread, Ray, I suggest you book in your psychiatrist for tomorrow to help you deal with the win.

Hillarious, I even get attacked when I'm not contributing. I suggest you need the psych.

I don’t want to say it but I’m going to say it, we’re not going to win.
Go the Roosters.

Go the Roosters.

I think the extra speed and directness of play that I saw from Walker, the outright class of Wong and the improvement of May & Baker should get us there.

Hypothetically, what happens to Radley if he gets binned or sent off? Another free ticket?

When Souths are on, their forwards constantly rush in defense. IMO the game will be decided on how we react to that. If we just run one out our young forwards will get smashed. Same thing if we just run sideways. Walker will be the hero or villain tonight in countering Souths defence.

Souths are a divided club and have struggled the backend of this season.
I expect us to win by 20

First week of the finals we will be 50% chance of a win but will finish our season in week 2 of the finals, the top 4 are well ahead of us at the moment.

I don’t want to say it but I’m going to say it, we’re not going to win.
Go the Roosters.

When you say “we’re” are you talking about Souths or The Roosters?

Bingo!

[kakaruk]

Our spine is superior that's what will win it for us if our forwards play well, Teddy , Brandon, Sammy and Luke should get us home, be much in it though be a cracker of a game, souths will try all the grubby tricks in the book to put the boys off their game.

[ARD]

Weird feeling tonight could be our last game of the season.

Plan is to soak in the spectacle and enjoy every moment, accepting what will be will be... Reality be stress drinking and yelling uncontrollably at the tv, picking fights with souths players from my couch.

Gonna miss the footy. Hopefully another week left yet.

Have fun all.

Extremely not confident tonight, Souths are going to end our season for the third straight year!!!! Its our reality and you can simply blame the coaching and medical staff for tonight's lost
