Roosters vs Storm Pre-game Discussion

[Tommy Smith]

The Storm are a great side. We are greater still.

They've never played at the SCG. It's our fortress.

Also we have Tedesco. They don't.

EASTS TO WIN.

Bit early mate but I love your enthusiasm.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I'm telling Thirteen on you..

[Tommy Smith]

I'm telling Thirteen on you..

Hehe I knew I had to get in early to beat him.

I did say "pregame" though!

The honour of gameday thread shall remain Thirteens

[fletch]

If we can nullify the size/power of their forward pack we will win this game, two major concerns are the loss of JWH and our penchant to put in the odd shocker in prelim finals.

Latrell needs to be out practising kicks morning noon and night. We'll need him.

[fletch]

Looking back at our 2 previous meetings with the Storm, in round 6 we beat them in Melbourne without Manu/Morris/SST/Friend/Liu, round 15 we lost to them in Adelaide without JWH/Friend/Keary.

[ConGa]

My prediction - If we shutdown Nelson, we'd win

[easts4eva]

I'm confident Easts can put in another clinical performance. Easts just have to many points across the field to score from. Defence wise both teams are close.

What's the proper stat floating around here about our win ratio without JWH . Gus Gould is harping on about it.

Hard ask without JWH.

And if BMoz passed to Toops we win in Adelaide.

No JWH once again but as you said there was no Keary, no Verrills/Friend, Rads outta position, Latrell at 5/8, Bmoz at centre...

That's a Frankenstein 17 from Adelaide where as next week's is a Ferrari 17.

No fear. No mercy.

**** the Storm deep in the bowels. Or in the words of Gandalf, "send those foul beasts back to the abyss!!"

Seriously I'm pumped already. Prelims are more nerve inducing than GFs. But we got this because we're witnessing the greatest footy side of the NRL era.

On NRL360 they were saying we win 77% of games with JWH and it drops to 44% without him.

This prelim really is a GF for us neither the Raiders or Vermin come close to us if we make the GF.

For just this year?
