Roosters vs Bulldogs = win

[The Brain]

Its the only game of the year that the refs and video refs usually dont cane us and the 50/50 calls go our way but still Barba will score two 70m tries at least zipping past Perret for the first then Jigaboo leaving Mini gasping for air

Hasler's Bulldogs are playing a great style of footy..

Disagree. A couple of years ago we won one of the most one sided ref affairs I have ever seen, and it was against the doggies. If I remember correctly Maubs scored the matchwinner and bwaiffy threatened to walk off after one of his trys was disallowed by the video refs. I remember I was at that game and all the chooks fans went mad when we won.

Pearce will make a massive difference to our attack, but i'm worried about the short forward passing game of the Bullscum, players like Kennedy/Masoe/Tasi could get caught out in defence.

obviously we would be a better shot if Captain Fantastic was sent on a permanent holiday.

another area that has been bugging me recently is the backrow, Guerra/Maubs are not rolling up their sleeves when we are under the pump, they are both only willing to stay on the fringes and get involved when the ball is shifted, this is creating a balance problem for our team much like when Anasta was in the backrow, the likely solution to this problem is putting Maubs to right centre, not his ideal position but for team balance that move must happen or one of them needs to start on the bench.

also think this early in his career Moga will be better suited to the wing, will give him more space to move on kick returns, on the weekend he was wasted by receiving the ball when surrounded by 3 defenders every time.

assuming Smith doesn't have the balls to drop Anasta this is the team that we need to go with.

FPN (he is rumoured to be available this weekend)
Kennedy (if fit, shouldn't be playing with needles)
Mitchell (would add much needed spark to the team, I like the idea of the 4 forward bench but it doesn't work with Friends skill set)
Takairangi (he adds that offload on the fringe he needs more game time)

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...

I was ready to kill Muabbs When he hogged that ball against the mutts For 1 horrible moment I thought he had farked that right up


As for next week This is a must win game Also I hate the mutts with a passion vermin and mutts are the two teams I always want to beat every year

I agree, but I am sorry to say, that I think both Souths and Dogs are better teams than us this year..

I was there too. I watched the reply numerous times just in disbelief that we could be screwed by the refs that bad. I remember even Phil Gould was on our side that day...

I remember listening to those games on a dodgy radio stream in Beirut.. 8am cheering alone haha.. good days.. first game back in Sydney was the thumping of the Eels... what couple of months that was for us.

for the majority of teams in the comp its not a case of who is better or worse...its who turns up on the day and decisions by officials.
