If we regain our form then this match should be entertaining. Hard to pick a winner.

 

[LatK7]

This is going to be a ripper! I'll take a stab and say Wests.

 

[Rovelli]

The Roosters' form of late has been a little worrying after hitting a purple patch (capped by that 48-12 win over the Eels). The Tigers OTOH won't really have a home advantage...so I'm not prepared to make a call right now.

Roosters to beat Tigpies for the 4th time this year

Roosters to beat Tigpies for the 4th time this year

Whoever can hold onto the ball, as both sides seemed incapable of that in their last game.

 

[Flapper]

This sh*t needs to stop.

We'll flog your arses in kungl

 

[Marshall_magic]

If both sides play their best footy, this will be an absolute cracker. I'm pretty confident we'll get the win though.

 

[Tonearm Terrorwrist]

If we can't beat the f**king Tigpies we should forfeit our spot in the finals even if 7 and 8 lose.

 

[Raiders_Premiers]

Tigers by 14, should be a thriller

 

[Timmah]

Original post with some updated info. Roosters Toyota Cup game will open proceedings at 4pm for this game, they finished 5th and face the 4th placed Cowboys.

Newtown, Wests and Balmain all finished well in NSW Cup and will feature in finals across the weekend. The full NSW Cup finals schedule is in the original post as well

 

[Tommy Smith]

If we play to the best of our ability then im coinfident we can win.

Having said that the Tigers do worry me, even if we have owned them this year.

 

[MacDougall]

The Roosters fluked the win last time they played the Tigers. The Tigers are a way better side than they were then.

Roosters fans are being way too cocky about this.

Hehe, cocky.

 

[hybrid_tiger]

We only lost that second game because of Beau f**king Ryan.

I think its irrelevant that we lost twice to the Roosters anyway, we should know exactly where we need to improve to beat them.

Should be a good game.

 

[Gaba]

it will be won on 2 points ,who has the better game plans sheens or smith and defence who can shut the main attackers down for each side .

Marshall tigers- carney -roosters

Marshall tigers- carney -roosters

And good defensive teams?

 

[Tom Ace]

When Jake Friend is off or not playing, we visibly drop.

Koupash*tsis is not a park player, let alone an NRL player and he'll be our downfall if he gets much game time.

I dare say with Friend (and Mini, Mose and Conn) back this week it'll be a more fluid attacking effort.
