[The Fanatical Rooster]

On paper, we should be far too strong for them, but I have this awkward feeling that we could struggle a little bit and they will lift another gear this week (after receiving another rev up from Madge). Reflecting this degree of apprehension, I have gone with the conservative 1-12 margin again this week!

Despite what some may believe, I don't think we will push for Joseph Suaalii to play in this game. I feel that we will leave it until later in the season before we even contemplate him joining our first grade run on side. My best guess, at the moment, would be either Round 11 against the Brisbane Broncos or Round 14 against the Gold Coast Titans. Our club will look after him as much as necessary, and tread carefully. We do not want to run the risk of burning him out in any way.

$1.25 for the Roosters and $4.00 for them is about right.

It is finally game day ladies and gentlemen; fire up you mighty Roosters for this afternoon, fire up! I have had a re-think. Easts by 18!
