Roosters vs Bulldogs = win

[Guest]

Seriously the Roosters are no chance against the Dogs. We rarely beat them.

They have a better coach & better players. Barba Reynolds & Morris are killing it.
Pritchard & Halatal are playing out of there skins & big Sam K is the form prop of the NRL.
They will also have Hodginson back in the halves.

Go the Roosters.

Unfortunately I agree with you.. I don't think there will be much in it but we have no x factor.. Barba will be the difference..

I'm confident of a win.

Their big wins were against Parra and toothless Sharks.. We can do it if we play well.

Gold Coast beat them.

We must be a chance.

I HATE the Dogs with a passion but love the style of football they are playing. The interchange of passing amongst their forwards takes me back to another time.

I think we are building nicely and our defence is improving every week. Having said that, we still need to score more points than the Dogs and we are not capable of doing that with Braith at five eight.

At this time, we are only out of the eight on differentials and only two wins out of the top four. This season can be successful but the powers that be need to make the tough calls.

Roosters by eight.

My big fear in this game is a crap bomb or grubber to Barba where our chasers rush up, miss him and he scores a 100m try that we have seen heaps of times in the past with Barba, Bowen and Gardner.

We are a big chance in this game, just need to be a bit smarter at crucial stages of the game and don't commit stupid errors. Also we really need to nullify penalties on the 4th or 5th tackle as those have generally been leading to tries to the opposition, but then again we usually have no luck from the refs or the video refs.

Roosters by 10.

Bulldogs are overrated.

I'm confident of us winning

I dont think we'll win. As we saw they demolished the Sharks 26-6. Yes there was no Carmey which led to their lack in attack but Braith doesnt offer anything so ther is the prblem. If Carney was playing the scoreline would've changed. Bulldogs have a better team by far better backs and 5/8. If Anasta wasnt at 5/8 wed have a slim chance. 3 game losing streak. It was always going to be a rebuilding year but we still have a chance of scraping into the 8 or top 6 if we pull off a massive streak which can only be done if Smith grows balls and moves Anasta of 5/8. And we did prove Rothfield wrong but many people still arent convinced of us as a competitive pack and think we are paochers and suck. They'll be proved wrong next year. Plese Smith you know Anasta is doing norhing but arent willing to make a change are you willing to throw the season away Morts played good last week. He is a better option dont understand tour problem. Smith is a good coach but cant make the tough decisons. Yes he killed the rotten culture but he always gets intimidated by Anasta and what annoys me most is that he kbows that Anasta wrecks our attack but is hoping for him to eventually become good just to keep Braith satisfied even though he is moving ti Tigs, soaks the salry cap and loses us games!!!

I think we will win. If we don;t I reckon we will get flogged. I dont think they have another brutal 80 minutes in the at this stage. Not too many errors, good game from new pairing of Pearce and Mortimer and we will win. yehaa!!

2010 - Carney turns Idris inside-out to give the ball to Maubbs, who has 2 players unmarked outside him but crashes over for the winner anyway. What a finish.

We also did the same to Souths 2 weeks before or after with Maubbs scoring the winner through Sandow...

Yep, I always bring up this stretch of games to my mates.

There was a run of five games in a row where EIGHT video referee decisions were incorrect against us.

Amazingly, I think we won all five games.

The worst of this lot was against the Broncos, where I think Hodges scored a late try where the ball spilled free in a Minichiello tackle and the first few angles didn't show it. But of course the benefit of (****ing plenty of) doubt went to the Broncos. As soon as they give the try a front on angle 'miraculously' appears that shows Hodges clearly knocking the ball on. And Laurie Daley still somehow trying to justify the video ref's decision while Greg Alexander was about to kill him for his stupidity I think.

Luckily, SKD scored a couple of minutes later to cap off an amazing win (from memory, Carney tore them a new one and we led about 28-6 only to blow the lead, regain it, lose it to the video ref and then win it right at the death).

God I miss 2010.

IMO that stretch and the recoveries from those rotten decisions are the difference to this Years team.

Ryles, Conn, Myles, Carntey, Graham, Linnett, FPN, SKD, Pearce even Jaubs all not there against woManly. Some experience among that lot who helped when the calls went against us.

And Bwaiffs not what he was then, not that he was much then, he was just better than he is now.

All it will take is someone to fire up, like that Joel Clinton carnt against us in 03, they were shit The Riff till we woke them up that season, we provided some motivation that fueled a run that was built on pride and balls from what I saw.

Someone needs to do something out of their comfort zone and make the rest believe the impossibles achievable.

Doubt it will happen, but these miracles usually come down to an individual with big kahunas and a defining moment.

Remember last year and Foran poleaxed Pearce, was that woManlys defining moment??? I know it was a big moment in that game.

Bulldogs will go a long way this year, a least into the final four finals. They've got confidence and plenty of size about their forward pack.

[elo]

When the Dogs pack is on they are unstoppable, thankfully like the Warriors that seems to occur once a month and it happened last week against the Sharks so we should be a puncher's chance of taking the 2 points.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

A better team would have won them, regardless of decisions that went against us...

Not convinced of that.....the 3 teams were Warriors, Dragons and Manly...no mugs. You don't need tough luck against them.
