Race for the top 8

[Paddo Colt 61]

[QUOTE=mattyh; gus just declared only the roosters or parra could upset the riff in the gf.

Mmm....How could he possibly discount Souffs on recent form (ie since Mitchell's return). Melbourne are arguably on the rack atm with Munster the last playmaker standing but that will probably change.

Cowboys - Tigers both very winnable followed by two very tough games in Storm and Scum we need three victories to secure a top 8 spot.

Very nervous about this game the cowboys will want to win this for Greeney a loss could be a total disaster, very tough end to our draw we’re in a very delicate spot, good thing is our destiny is in our own hands, it seems as though Robbo has the whip cracking our line speed has been very quick, however we need to tighten the defence a little more less points against.

Need Manly to do us a favour now... that won't happen, they are shit.

Raiders will finish on 30 with games against Manly and Wests Tigers who are miffed they have to play 2 more games which is interfering with their end of season holiday planning so The Roosters need to win 1 more game at least.

[Roostermania]

It's amazing what the team has achieved in the last 6 weeks...winning all 6 games but it means nothing if we don't at least win 1 more so we can make the finals. I believe we can.

Go Roosters...let's give this finals comp a shake....we can win it from 8th!!!

True and it's also scary to think if we would had known 7 weeks ago we would have had to win 7/8 to make the eight....I don't think any of us thought it was that equation. I think I was one of the more pessimistic and still thought 6/8 would get us there - but truly I didn't think we had 6/8 in us at that stage. So happy to be proven wrong! If we make the 8 we are a huge chance I think.

When the Chooks won 2 games from 7 between rd 10 to Rd 16 I thought they were no chance but the 6 game turn around has certainly come at the right time.
Ive been harping on about taking 1 game at a time & for 6 weeks the Chooks have done it but this next game is the game that will decide their fate I reckon, I dont want to think about the Souths game the Roosters HAVE GOT TO BEAT MELBOURNE. Over the last 6 weeks the opposition got better (take out Tigers game) & the Roosters have aimed up but we now play high end quality in their backyard. I believe that if the Chooks get over Melbourne the mental lift it will give the team will have them win 5 more game after this weekend.
At the start of the season you wouldnt think about it but to think if our team wins 6 games straight we win the comp. Its come down to sudden death & winning 6 games. The trophy will be back in Bondi.

Raiders are also shit, so don't give up hope yet.
I also give any side that has Keiran Foran in it, half a chance.
I've got to go with $4 a win for the chipstealers.
Thought I'd give it a punt, since both sides are bog average.

This one feels like a sudden death semi already… beating a powerhouse like Melbourne at their fortress will definitely declare, well & truly to the rest of the competition, the RWB are fair dinkum! Let’s get it boys!!! Here come the Roosters…

[zac]

the last six wins means that if we lose v melbourne we're still in it, but if we win down there we're really making a statement

[Flipper Hands]

Go Roosters...let's give this finals comp a shake....we can win it from 8th!!!

We play for premierships.

[roosterchook]

I’m just hoping the Raiders lose a game because a win against the storm is highly unlikely and south’s have had our measure for a long time now. We needed to win our early games against lower teams and the experiment of Keary and Walker cost us dearly and was a tactical mistake.

[Tommy Smith]

Highly unlikely?

What is that milquetoast shit?

We are better than Melbourne. No comparison on paper.

We will beat them. We will beat Souffs.

We will go undefeated to win the comp.

It's written.
