The Roosters will make the Grand Final in 2021

[Spirit of 66]

Judging by the video on NRL.com, Teddy plans to captain the team to the 2021 premiership.

There was that stat in the Telerag. Every time the Roosters have beaten the Raiders twice in a season they've made the Grand Final. Dare to dream.

Honestly we have a chance to go all the way. We get a few players back this week.
Our pack can match it with the best of them really only missing Collins, I know people will say what about Friend and Cords but they are not back next year so what we have is basically the same pack as next year, also we lose Iceman next year so that cancels out Collins.
Next year we get Keary, Manu, and two great young players to replace the Morris twins.
The BS suspensions to Angus and Victor have really hurt this year. We copped some soft MRC fines at the beginning of the year and then the loading killed us.
I can't remember the last time we had Victor and Angus playing together, lets see what a difference they make this week.
Really looking forward to the finals, just wish we were on the same side of the draw as Souths, to knock them out would have made my year!

I like your post however I disagree by saying that we have already won by finishing 5th. I think our coach would be aiming for a deep finish in the playoffs and probably a GF appearance . He sets and expects the highest possible results.



And if he makes the GF he will not want to be there , just making up the numbers.
Remember his record is 3 GF appearances : 3 Successes.
He will pull out all stops to win it , and believe that he can., no matter which side he is up against
I do not think he will view the result as being a success , by simply making the Grand Final .

An injured Munster is a weird one.

I'd just like to add that my predictions are generally spot on.

My 2021 ladder prediction from all the way back in November last year:

Positives? Teddy, Keary, Manu, Toupo, Gus, SST and Radley are all top 3 in the comp in their respective positions, and there is no reason to expect they will have a bad year.

My ladder for 2021:

Panthers
Rabbitohs
Melbourne
Raiders
Roosters
Sea Eagles
Eels
Titans
Cowboys
Knights
Broncos
Warriors
Sharks
Dragons
Bulldogs
Tigers

We can’t win the comp without Keary imo hope I’m wrong but he’s the one player we need

Just had a bit on us to win the GF at 40 to 1 Sportsbet, plus a bit on the grandfinalists.... Us v Manly paying 200 to 1, and Us v Parra paying 400 to 1, also a multi on Us 13+ over the Titans with Iku, Sitili and Keighran to score paying 30 to 1.

[Chook Norris]

Sorry guys. Would love for it to happen, but there's too much going against us. Proud of the team, making the semis (2nd round) would be a good result.

[bondi.boy]

Roosters make the Grand Final, win it, and be Premiers?
It is possible.
One step at a time, one game at a time.

Come on mate you can’t say that. We’re gonna win the comp.

I am with you Norfolk.
I have backed us to win the comp at 51 to 1 , and 41 to 1 on sportsbet, because those odds are too good to refuse.
IMO the Roosters are only an outside chance to take out the comp (wearing my Rooster coloured glasses I reckon we are about 5 to 1 chances, so still roughies) .
Nothing would be sweeter than winning the most unlikeliest of premierships, and to top it off , for me to show a healthy bank account balance.
Mickie Lane could also change his avatar, to show a crowing rooster on top of that casket, representing the Roosters resurrection from the dead.
I dare to dream.

We aren't a one man band (cue Leo Sayer in my head every time I think of teams who are) and we are not carrying the burden of expectation the likes of Penrith are for instance who have an entire generation of desperate fans hopes on them. The pressure is all on them and last year they buckled under that pressure. Melbourne have set the benchmark so they are the only team who really dominate this competition. Trent is still carrying that man of steel persona we all admire and respect, so that's good enough for me. The new season and new competition starts next weekend. As far as I'm concerned, it's game on.

Besides, my Brisbane Lions tip turned out to be garbage so I'm sticking to NRL and horses from now on..

Costly penalty inside 50 when the Lions player knocked over the Dogs player -especially as the Lions had the ball and would have kicked it inside 50 - the Dogs ended up kicking a behind to win. - I think it will be the Demons vs the Cats in the AFL GF
