Anzac Game -Chooks vs Steelers ,Let the war begin

[Bigchook]

Beware the mighty offload......................(see Broncos game)

It killed us against Brisbane. Penagi Jr was offloading at will.

The privilege continues...I still think this is the now THE important day on the RL calendar and its our day as well.

It is so appropriate that we are the team to be the constant for this event...two world wars...other conflicts...since 1908. Players, officials, fans, relatives and family of our great club all encompassed.

Dragons weren't even around for WW1.

It's all about respect today. And gratitude for our free country and lifestyle. For the ultimate sacrifices and mateship extended.

Even today we can stand proud and united against the modern day terrorist...the cowardice of Islamic extremism. And always should.

Honour the day with respect and pride....best of luck to our great club Easts and all the boys in their own battle today.

Lest we forget.

Beautifully said JFC.

Spot on as usual PeeGee. They have forwards who are very good at getting offloads away. The problem the Roosters have is that they may incur the wrath of the game managers if they attempt to lock up the ball to prevent offloads - it's a very fine line when you're wearing RW&B.

Good luck to the Roosters today and I hope the game is not marred by controversy.

PSA: Stay off the roads. Anzac Day and McGregor's in town.

Heading out to Allianz, looking forward to finally being home again instead of all these 3 week away breaks. Lets see what big plan McGregor cooked up on a napkin after his sunday sesh down the Gong, besides bombing to SKD. Up yours Drongos! Enjoy the game all.

Firstly, lest we forget ... Respect.

On today's game, it will be won in the forwards. Our backline is 'potentially' better, but have major defensive problems. Was going to say Easts by 1, but we can't kick field goals lol, ....so Easts by 2

That just made me cry Jack...usually I don't start til around 6pm...lol....this is the only game of the year I take very personally

my Dad was a WWII veteran and as a Parra fan, certainly had no great love for anyone in a Dragons jersey... Listening to all his favourites today like Roy Orbison, Dean Martin and Judith Durham.

Yeah we have a great back line if we ever get possession in the opponents half. Our error ridden side with its rushed & very poor ball handling will have a hard time winning against the top teams with next to no possession in their half. I can't understand Robbo playing a rushed style of play with a team which has such poor ball control. It's football suicide. Safety first footy is the style best suited for poor ball skilled sides.

Aubs out

Damn, Aubo is out.

Thanks RWB...and your first two comments made me laugh!

It's a very emotional day...i will be hiding some tears at some stage today no doubt. I know what it means to you.

I wish I had written that. Well said mate. Proud to be a Rooster.

Still cant believe Latrell is not there today. I really thought he would have had a big one. But trust the coach JC.
