Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Storm

[BraveTheWorld]

I think if we get over them in the forwards, which I think we will, we should win.
We were extremely tough and scrambled very well the last time we played them, and I hope to see that again.
Don't think Melbourne have looked particularly good in any of their games, including their wins. Can't help but feel their win last week was more so down to the Bunnies being poor. Hope I'm right.

Up the Chooks and enjoy the game, fellas.

Whose on first?

Another quality match coming our way. Except for something extraordinary happening, I can't see Easts losing this one. Tupou and Paulo dropping slightly back in defence last week was great, hope that they continue this. Our confidence should be pretty high at the moment. I predict little Sammy to continue building his reputation as the second best halfback able to represent QLD.



Go Easts!

Hutch to score first try scorer

The trouble with playing Melbourne is that they always have the game managers on side................................or did that end with Smiths retirement?

It did not if you remember the last time we played them. Their cauldron of dark arts was bubbling over.

It was Jared who put the lid on it, I'm glad big bully muntz isn't playing but I'm sure another one of their purple goblins is ready to take up the stirring - Munster no doubt.

Lesssssss goooooo choooooks

Should be a ripper as our clashes with Storm usually are, fast and skilful. If the drinks around during the game, kicking game becomes very important. Not much faith in Sammys long kick game.

Cheese to play a big role.

obviously playing souths is special but if you look at the last decade it's been us and the storm. pity both teams aren't at full strength but it's going to be big

The funny thing is this year, if both teams were at FULL strength, I really think we win this by 30. The Storm has lost a lot of cattle and whilst they are travelling ok, they are not the same team as they once were. If our boys match them for completions tonight, we win tonight through the middle. Roosters by 10.

Too hard to tip a winner.
Good luck Chooks.

Can't say I struggle with that one... Easts all the way!

That said I'd pay money to see Ryan (the cool one), Harry (the pretty one) and Munster (the bad boy) do a boyband gig with their silly hair and tight shorts. They'd win that contest hands down.

Need to shut down Jerome Hughes.

that little prick with a big head always plays good against us.

Munster is Munster and will generally do stupid stuff to keep us on even footing in momentum.

but his #7 for some reason always goes to another level (just above shit) when he plays against us.

[SamKerrSimp]

Our team is better it all depends on whether roosters hold on to the ball and keep their discipline

He likes to step inside a lot, and while we've been okay defensively with inside shifts, I feel like we are still a little vulnerable in this area.

Tonight we'll be tested on this.
