Official Match Day Thread: Roosters V Sea Eagles

[Billy Gunn]

I don't expect either of them to spend much time on the bench tonight.

I agree but it's that 10-15 minutes with them both off is too long

[BraveTheWorld]

Very excited for the game, but I really don't have any pre-game thoughts or feelings.
As with most of the year, I just want a strong, tough performance, and I'm sure they'll give us that.

We're at $4.15 now, which is absolutely insane. I think Manly deserve favoritism, but they were utterly lapped last week (don't get it twisted either - it wasn't just because the Storm are good. Manly were woeful) and have barely beaten a good side all year.
I'm worried about the speed of Saab, since our backs aren't really as quick as some others. Not particularly worried about Turbo, since I know Teddy will be as good or better.

A little part of me is saying that we've done ourselves proud and the year has been "good enough" all things considered.
I hope none of the players have that little thought in their head.

Up the Chooks.

[Mickie Lane]

Its a mighty task for the Chooks tonight.
I hope its a good close game of footy. I would love to see Teddy & Tom both have a cracking game tonight, 2 of the best players in the game. Those 2 are the key to which team wins.
Go the Roosters

hope it's like the 2000 prelim where you had freddy v joey and our guy came out on top

• Don't give Sutton reasons to penalise us

Are you suggesting that we play in plain clothes?

And possibly another video like this. It's hard to believe this is 21 years ago.

[Cyril Snodgrass III]

Let's hope Fumbles watches the game...from the stand

Copley ...first try scorer

[fletch]

It would be worse if one of them wasn't on the field for the first 25-30 minutes.

it was a great game. we hadn't made a gf for so long. if you consider who we've got out us winning tonight would be huge.

[Carlos Parra]

I think we'll match them for 20-25 minutes and unless we're 12+ in front, they'll beat us by 30+.

[QWERTY]

whispers that there could be a late change Copley in and Ikuvalu out- ankle

Not the worst thing in the world I guess. Whoever plays I just hope they put in the effort

[Maxy Walker]

For a bet I like the odds of Stiliti to score a try at anytime, paying $4.50 but he’s scoring at a rate of better than 50% per game this year.

Not sure if we can win but I think we’re surely a better chance than the $4 available. Not often we get out to that kind of price. Our team still looks pretty decent on paper even with all the injuries, still stronger than most clubs outside of the top 4.

Epic game & win for the Roosters that one zac.
I was there with my dad (God bless him) & my brother & after that win the 3 of us went back to the Leagues & had a merry night, all the years we had followed the Chooks we had never gone back to club after a game but that night was special.

[Rooster90]

I'm feeling oddly confident about tonight

[Mickie Lane]

I dont know why but Ive got this feeling DCE is going to have a big game.
