Lindsay Collins

[player 1]

Big test for young Linz this Friday. I'm expecting him to aim up and be a big part of the win.

He has to aim up JWH style so the Roosters can get over their rough tough thugs. If you rate both teams on rough tough thugs/grub players they have more but if the likes of Collins Sitilli SST & Crichton get down & get dirty then I think the Roosters can win. The Roosters have to serve it up to Souths who have a massive attitude & are gonna come in dirty.

Yeah I know, this does shape up as a genuine blockbuster.

Souffs will most likely try their grubby tactics , to try to get us unsettled and off our game.
It suits them if we are not concentrating on scoring points.
It was almost an all in brawl at the end of their game last week against Manly.
So expect more of the same, only earlier - Jai Arrow tactics from a few of them.
I reckon a major fracas is on the cards, as tensions boil over.

How so? Their props aren’t in the top 10 props in the league.

Burgess hasn’t been the same since his gang of clown brothers left, Tatola, Arrow and Su’a are just straight up grubs, then you’ve Murray who’s currently about as useful as a chocolate teapot. Compare that to Collins and TKO who right now are two of the best props in the game, Crichton and Sitili who arguably are two of the best 2RF’s in the game, Iceman lining up at lock, and then madmen Radley, JWH and Fifita coming off the bench? The packs aren’t even comparable IMO right now and it’s our game to lose. We just have to play our game. The 60-8 debacle was a one off. We’ll be ready to go.

But probably on top 5 for grubbiness and will try to put us off our game. We need to nkt
e sucked on into their tactics and focus on our own game. We have the players and the skills required to win the premiership. Let souffs celebrate winning the charity shield and gloat about the one off score from last year, we play for premierships and that’s all that matters.

Murray has become a tackling machine to cover for others

Oooh...and did I say I love the Mullet. Bring back the Mullet! He’s like Sampson when he has the mullet

I don't think SOO legend big bad Lindsay Collins will be too worried.

I think this year more than any year Bennett & Souths are playing for the Premiership no matter what. Can the Chooks beat them for sure because they are a very good side but so are Souths.
Go the ROOSTERS

Their pack really dominated ours last time we met, and the scoreline reflected it.

Did Sampson fumble a lot?

Yep I wouldn't take them lightly. That gave was embarrassing... I've seen Souffs packs do similar to us before too (i.e. beat us up then send Cook through holes).

Not a Souffs fan or a Wayne fan but I respect them as a legit competitor. My hope is that they're a bunch of cocky brats after last time whereas we'll have had our backs against the walls since them.

Gus: 'you can never come back after that'

Yeah bollocks you stupid loudmouth [mocks his golden moment media voice... 'WOOOOW!!! [INSERT SCRIPTED LINE WRITTEN BY SOME WANKA FROM MARKETING]'. Manly will live to fight another day. Tigpies will be back! Easts had some bad luck with their finals draw last year but weren't exactly humiliated (lost 2 away finals by a total of less than a try against the best - Souffs didn't use it as a springboard to go onwards and upwards or anything). Now we're back in round 3 with a flying start to the season... we'll be there like to get the job done, just like Big Daddy Kane.

Many here wanted him gone when he kept making handling errors (not the only one doing so) when younger and coming off the bench.
I said it was just nerves and trying too hard.
I said he would come good, and he has.
I was right.
Congratulations to me.

He's improving all the time.
