Predictions for Eels game?

[NorfolkStreetKid]

Roosters win this one. Harder because no Lindsay or Verrills, But Parra will be flat.

[Big Dog]

I thought the score against the Titans flattered us. The attack is so disjointed and we are still weeks away from being at the level of the big guns......., as well as Parra.

Zachary, the Tits were bloody awful. I think some of our deficiencies were covered up by their dreadful second half performance.

So no dropped balls, and no forward passes from dummy half? Suits me.

Each week we fans declare this is the week we turn things around only to witness the same rusty and clunky play. Would love a win but can’t see it happening.

Just hoping the eels don’t do a demolition job on us. Agreed that last weeks score was really due to terrible Titans performance.

[Rooster89]

I'll be happy with 0 forward passes, 0 kicks out on the full and 80% completion.

Baby steps.

I was listening to Roosters radio, they had Jo Suaalii on. Was really good to hear from him, really think he can be great for us long term.

One of the things he said was how Keary took control of the meeting the week leading up to the titans, declaring they would win and would turn the season around. It reminded me of his steeliness when he declared he didn’t give a shite if Cronk played or not, then went on to win Clive Churchill medal.

I don’t buy into the BS there’s unrest with Keary and Robbo, or the Munster rumours. I think the boys will be up for this week and I expect it to be our best performance of the year. Eels aren’t without their faults, they had to lift big time for panthers and are expecting to beat us, I think they’re walking into an ambush! Roosters 1-12

I’ll be monitoring your posts and see when you’ll find any positives in our team. According to you we should wooden spoon bound.

[DP1990]

Result = Roosters win !

Score = 38 - 6 !

Manu = Hat-trick !

Luke Keary = Man of the match !

[Vasco]

Our ball control is not good enough to beat the top sides. I don't particularly rate Parra as a top side but I think they are playing better than Easts at the moment.

Told them we’d win against the Titans.

signs are good - keary had his best game of the season last week and if we can match them in the forwards we've got backs to carve them up


I agree zac.
Looking at the lineups, their forwards look great.
But I reckon we have got them in the backs.
It should be an enthralling game

First half is very important if we are any good we should pile up over 20 points..After last week I expect Parra to pull up lame...but they will warm up to it second half. They took an onslaught last week and wore it well.

Agreed mate. I reckon if we can hold-out their forwards and not fall for any Moses / Brown / Gutho tricks (which are all pretty lame but their lameness can catch you off-guard) then we can put them to the sword.

Good on them for narrowly beating the Drizz/Pamfers. However, I reckon half of that woulda been the surprise factor of Parra having a semi-good start to the season + a toolkit of tricks designed to frustrate last year's premiership contenders.

One can say it makes them contenders... but they've played the Titans twice and were thrashed by the Cows. I expect it to be a tough contest, but won't be cheering like it's a GF victory if we win.

If the Cowboys can beat them by 30 there's no reason why we can't. East's by 30.
