Officiall Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[roosterchook]

We need to step up a couple of gears. This drought against the storm has got to end sooner or later hopefully tonight. Go Easts!

[Billy Gunn]

It will take a great game to get past the Storm, we are stronger all over the park except for the spine. There wouldn't be a better way to break our run against the top two teams than two unexpected wins and a premiership.

Go Easts.

last time we played them they played their best game of the season and we played our worst - and we were still in it until late. we've lost sam and cheese but connor has been great and sandon can do the job and we're a realistic chance. looking for teddy to do what teddy does and for kez to build on it what he did last week - get his last tackle attacking kicks right like he did last week and we'll score tries although they've got a bit of height on the edge and it might be an idea to aim at joey and su.
storm have had a great year this year and won't be easy but there's a reason why our f and a is better than theirs. go easts

[Bansai Pipeline]

Go easts!

I think we can and will go to amother level tomnight. I hope we can be aggressive but disciplined. I get the feeling Robbo is letting the boys off the leash tonight.

Hopefully, we play with a little less structure when ball in hand. The offloads with Teddy, Watson, Sandon and Joey pushing into space through the middle and edges was great lst week. Will trouble the Storm too.

Up the Roosters!

. Completions 100%
. No lost possession...like Sitili did last game...Storm would make us pay bigtime if we do.
. JWH to only tackle around the waist, and not get conned into fighting/punching.
. The stats must all favour us.

Then we'll have a good chance of winning.
Otherwise, maybe not.

Go CHOOKIES , give the drizzle what 5

[Chook2]

The boys will be up for it
jwh, Keary, Manu, suaali and sitili don’t want to play there last game tonight down at Melbourne the for club
For some reason for a little confidence tonight

Trent Robinson has finalised his side for the NRL Preliminary Final against the Melbourne Storm.

The side remains unchanged, with Zach Dockar-Clay taking the 18th man position.

[Kentucky_Fried_Rooster]

I don’t know why but I’m super confident tonight.

I wasn’t a week ago after demolishing Manly I wasn’t confident thinking if they didn’t have two HIAs the game would have been closer.

We are going to cause a massive upset winning down there by 20+

Penrith will be a hard game but after two big wins heading into the grand final it’s ours to lose and I have a feeling we are sending our stars out in style.

17 unchanged an hour out. the heat is on

Watson and Suaalii to take this game away from Melbourne tonight.

[rented tracksuit]

Watson and Suaalii to take this game away from Melbourne tonight.

Ambitious!

[MCMLXVI]

Ambitious!

Just a feeling mixed with hope. Suaalii has played very well in his last two games, and Watson will have some new confidence due to rep selection.
