Grand finalists 2013

[Guest]

A few concerns:

• That 15 minute period where the Knights scored two tries. We completely switched off then.
• Manly. Been there, done it before. Tough side that have a proven capability of putting 40 on a side in the big one. We don't turn up, we switch off, or we think the game is won and we lose comfortably.
• Penalties. Manly is in a bit of trouble with ASADA it seems, so I don't think the NRL will be too comfortable with them winning if the conspiracy theories perpetrated by some are correct. We need to play smart.
• Revenge from the first finals game against Manly.
• Manly coming out fired up, putting on a big play, and rattling us. We lost the plot against Sharks when they did that.

To be fair, they were well in front and I don't blame them for having one eye on Manly next week.

Another pointer. We got thumped in 2010 with largely the same squad.
Edit: Forgot to say the Knights aren't anywhere near as good as Manly. Manly put 30+ on them this year.

I don't remember SBW, Maloney, Jennings, RTS, Tupou, LOD, Corder, Napa, Liu and Moa in our 2010 GF team.

We beat Knights twice and Manly thrice, by my calculations we're on top.

We are the roosters

[Ray Stehr]

We're in the grand final

You've called it all year, Cogburn. Well done on that count.

[QUOTE=007;340413]And if I heard the ref correctly, he said something like "just make you sure you play the ball Jared" or words to that effect.

I don't think JWH has a thing to worry about.[/QUOTE]

Needs medical attention to that elbow but should recover by game day.

[Rocky Rhodes]

We haven't won anything yet as most don't rate the minor premiership.

The fact that we beat manly 3 times already means nothing. Manly couldn't beat the storm in 2008 either other than the GF by 40-0.

No concerns, the game is won, Manly may as well not turn up hey?

Nah, last time that happened Souffs won, we don't want to be compared to them.

Maloney has played Manly in a grand final

[born_a_rooster]

if cordner and LOD are fit next week, TR will have to make tough decisions
-surely you cant drop either maubs or guerra
-LOD to come in for napa/liu
-kennedy has been a good club man and all but i think he has played his last game for the RWB

You were saying that we have largley the same squad which is rubbish. Roosterrule2 was just pointing it out to you. Anyway whats wrong with being excited & positive after tonight. Your definitely a glass 1/4 empty type of guy.

Honest to god... I've been working and missed the game, so I come onto here and the last comment I want to read on a brilliant night like this is YOURS.
At least wait a day for the sky to fall on our heads.

Dont worry mate, some people are just born to be miserable.

Who cares? We won the game that counts tonight.

We gave given ourselves the shot we deserve.
