Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[Renman]

Someone needs to do a number on NAS and someone needs to watch Kafusi on Walker. They will be trying to do serious damage to him and Keary and we all know Melbourne get away with it. They need to know we are not going to cop their rubbish. They will try to concuss both of them.

[Bondicigar]

Momentum is a massive thing and the chooks are getting stronger with each game.
They have that look about them now , it wont matter who we play no team will hold the chooks down the middle in the mood they are in now.
32 to 12 roosters

The waiting is killing me.

10 hours to go….

I swear I haven't had any coffee today but it feels like I've had 10 cups...luckily I work with a couple of Roosters fans so we have a chat going too..our manager doesn't know much about NRL but he was truly shocked when I showed him last week's cricket score...

Are you actually from Bondi? Do you want to meet up today so I can wack some sense into you?

Will Sally be going along as well?

[rented tracksuit]

If we can contain the NAS edge running and his offload we are a fair chance to get up. I noticed Parra using big Shaun Lane in a similar fashion.

For us, hang on to the ball like we have been and push up through the middle. Knock down the front door

Lodge is great at that!

That’s too bad mate. I’ve only got fall asleep now and wake up to eggs on toast, some orange juice and the attic is all mine for the game as the rest of the fam will still be sleeping.

I love this post.

I wanted to like it more than once!

Massive test against a red hot team tonight and you know Robbo and the boys are really looking forward to this one to see where we stand.
The giant will be a handful for Keary,Gus and Momo but on the flipside we have to go at him and try to expose his mobility on the edge if he plays there.
Olam has had the better of Joey in recent clashes but we have a huge advantage in the air on that side with him and Suaalii over Olam and Nofo.
We haven't had the forwards to match them since 19 but this time I think we do.
Munster v Teddy should be a cracker, can't wait for this it should be a beauty.
Easts to win

Love it Mate. Hope you are proven correct.

I’ll take 21-20.

[King Salvo]

The Roosters will need to be at their best tonight and nail the basics over the 80 minutes.

No slacking off periods and no getting into a ruck wrestle with them as that's what they want teams to do as they can slow down the oppositions attack and they then counter attack by playing at speed when they have the ball.

The Roosters need to use the ball and of course defend well on the back of that and limit Grants and Smith impact when they run from Dummy half and Hughes and Munsters impact on the Storms attack- running and kicking etc

The Storm have plenty to play for as well as they wouldn't fancy a round 25 game against Parramatta @ Parramatta to determine 4th place.

should be a beauty - go easts!

[Roostermania]

Can't wait....what an awesome game we are going to have tonight!! Go you mighty Roosters!!

I'm salivating at the sight of our four big men playing in the middle and then Keary/Walker playing off the back of that....it will be close but we will get them 26-22.

[MCMLXVI]

This could become the game of the season. Our current momentum and our spirit should provide us victory tonight. The only thing that is a threat to us is the defensive military fortification designed to protect people and valued materials from falling bombs, artillery, or other attacks. We need to be consistent and hard, not fast and flashy.

Go Easts!

BB time to visit the Doc and get the meds updated mate. It all appears very dark over there. R u ok?

When was the last time we beat the Storm, anywhere?

[Rooster36]

Nerves and excitement… I get the feeling my next 6 months could all depend on the next 2 weeks….. we’ll smash em like guitars
