Remember to forward your clocks one hour early this morning 6/1019

Who is going to win

Love the Raiders to get there, but I reckon it will be the Chooks 10-16 points

I’m going for my local team.

Can’t stand Ricky and all the comments on how loyal and emotional he is. What absolute BS.

Can't believe anyone could want to see a team who cheats the tpas and systems and rsteal other sides of their young talent win the comp over a team built with juniors and guys no one else wanted along with the risk of importing some poms. Teams like Canberra give the rest of us some hope against the big spenders.

Who are their big money purchases?

They took a risk on a few Poms. We did same and they where garbage. So did Saints.

JWH,Crighton,Teddy,Keary,Cronk all big name signings. I'd also guess there juniors where all poached by paying overs at jnr level. Butcher certainly was pinched recently. Other guys would understand how the jnrs are taken better then I would. I'd guess it's like the big epl clubs though.

Agree the Roosters have higher profile recruits, but like most NRL teams, both are very much full of imports

Raiders players brought into NRL level ... cotric, wighton, simonssen, papalli

Roosters ... tupou, mitchell, manu, liu, verrils, butcher, tetevanu, radley
