I think this might blow up in Melbourne's face.

I’m convinced now the game is rigged. After the Origin debacle and now the judiciary decision there’s no doubt anymore. The sharks were destined to get their first premiership as were the cowboys, and now it’s time for a double premiership winner. Nothing, absolutely nothing can prevent that and so we just have to accept that this will be a loss. I also think soon the raiders will be compensated by the corrupt nrl and they will get a trophy soon.

Its easy to assume a stitch up & Storm a win

BUT the fat lady has not sung yet...it will take a herculean effort & ref assists for Storm to beat us

it's a funny game this...

The Roosters are not a one-man team, nor a two-man team. There are 13 players on the field (and 4 on the bench) who put in every week.

If Cronk is out, then we have Tedesco, Keary, Mitchell, Ferguson, Manu, Tupou and a forward pack from the bowels of Hell.

If anyone has read the real fairytales, they know they end horribly. Like this one will for the Storm.

Plenty of players go out losers in Grand Finals, this will be no exception.

Yeah I'm actually beginning to think the Nrl has done everything in its power to ensure a melb victory, thinks can only go wrong for them now.

Mate the NRL have done everything they can over the past two decades to avoid having the Roosters as premiers.

Yep I'm still filthy Freddy didn't get the send off he deserved.

After all the mud the Bulldogs put the game through in 2002/3 they were still allowed to win a premiership in 2004.

If Cronk is out we need to carry SOS on the bench. Matto should play 6 and Keary 7.

We would have to carry SOS on the bench to cover for Keary cause if Luke goes down we are virtually playing with no halves and no kicking game.

I wouldn't plan to only use 16 players but if all is going well we can get away with it. All the forwards on the bench are capable of playing big minutes.

6 Matto
7 Keary
