Official Match Day Thread: Roosters V Raiders

[ism22]

If we win convincingly tonight, it's basically as if we'd won last week. We play the same team and have the same chance of winning.

Lose? TBH it'd be disappointing because I know we have what it takes. We get absolutely nothing from the refs and have had by far the most rotten luck with i juries this season. IMO the fact we're still going shows how strong we are!!!

Remember people wrote us off after round 2... now did it go from there? We're a MASSIVE chance! But for a 25 minute lapse, we absolutely thrashed the Riff. Literally nobody else has pushed them that far for 15 games straight.

We will win!

Crichton has been our best player on the edge the last few weeks, not sure what the plan is changing that

Collins out (groin complaint) - butch in

Sitting in the crowd and what's with the "we are the Raiders" LED signs all around the ground!!!!!
its our home final, not the Raiders.

Also they played a 15 minute montage of Jarrod Croker and the work he does in the community.
I'm not saying he doesn't do a good job but they played his montage for 15 minutes and a montage on Angus C's community work for less than a minute.

Home finals are about crowd support and turning it into a fortress, not giving the away team a leg up.

Liu will need to play some prop with Butch playing middle i suggest.

Collins out and all of a sudden my confidence has evaporated. The dominos with Aubbo into second row and Angus on the bench really hurt. No prop on the bench. Hoping for a miracle now.

Form a queue right here post-match. I'm giving away humble pie to all of the doubters. Tonight will be electricity with a capital E. We will easily beat these pretenders. Tonight Trent has directed the team to engage all necessary higher gears at will. Tonight there shall be no neutral. Tonight I Trust In Trent.

Easts to win by a very large margin!

I’ll be happy to eat more than my share.

When was the last time we went into a game with the full 17 first named? Feel like every bloody week someone comes out of the side... so annoying.

No miracle needed.

We'll belt them.

If we get through to next week does Collins overcome his groin complaint?

It's all about tonight no other thoughts but the 80 minutes ahead. Edge defence will need to stand up as they will target both Keary and Flanno - why i think they should defend one in or on the wing not 3 in - out wider say on wing attack that area at your own peril as the sideline is another defender. Anyway must be a reason why the halves defend 3 in on either side.
