Roosters vs Storm Pre-game Discussion

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I think people are making too much of the JWH out. Yes he's the best prop in the game but that will only fire up SST, Isaac and hopefully Lindsay to step up. They will do the job. And the extra motivation to win through so he gets to play in the GF.

We also have the best fullback, centre and five-eighth in the game. They are all fit and ready to go. I take the counter view that to have almost our entire squad available at this time of the year is a huge bonus...and pretty amazing really , a credit to our staff.

Don't forget the best halfback, second rower (Cords), and the best Winger (Toups).

We also have a player with the initials B.M. in the side.

We also have the inflictor, hopefully in his natural position.

Melbourne's exercise gallop last night means they'll be fresh for us; our weekend off has been negated now. Without JWH we're up against it.

All bullshit aside, what's going to make the NRL more money? Melbourne vs Canberra or the grudge match 80+ years in the making in Easts vs Souths.

If that bald headed bastard from Belmore is smart, he'll make sure it's the latter.

Yeah they go on about how when he pays we win 67% or around there of the matches and it drops to 43%+/-... The 43% still means victories. These percentages are over time but it has nothing to do on how we are playing now. WE beat them with many of our stars out at their home and when they beat us in ADL, we also had big names out, just... It's the SCG now Smiffy!

We beat them with basically 12 players last year!

This year they aren't as strong imo, and we are even better.

Do the math.

I also think the Storm’s young finals inexperienced players will struggle with the speed and intensity of the game. We are not Parra. We are the best.

We need to start fast and hard and maintain it. No rain please, that will reduce the impact of our strengths and classy team. Speed, execution, and the Wall.

we need to be patient, and then we’ll put a few points on them.

I'm shitty at maths!

A tough game that we should win..Jared being out isn't as big of a deal as it used to be, The Storm have never played at the SCG and from I have read players have stated it's a real different experience to playing on the normal stadium grounds as in seeing the sidelines ect for kicking. I hope Collins is given a license ( within reason ) and rips in, SST will make that hard yards and Liu other than that we beat them all over the part positionally.

[The Axe]

Collins will have such a license. Won’t make the GF. Go out and rip cam a new one

They haven't played at the SCG but they have played at the Adelaide Oval so will have recent experience playing at a cricket ground.

That doesn't add up.

Your right
I reckon the Roosters can win with 12 men if Lindsay just comes out & completely KO's Smith & Smith takes no more part in the match..

[rozza]

I just have one thing to say Easts To Win!
