It’s beginning to look like a three horse race for the premiership

Sticky has a lot of texers who say otherwise. The hurt shed doesnt hurt so much....

 

[Uncle Kraka]

Canberra will challenge for a top four spot. Injuries will determine whether or not they make it. But they cannot make it without Hodgson, Bateman, Whitehead, Leilua, Rapana, Croker and Cotric on the field for most games. Those seven are irreplaceable.

News just in....... team without 7 best players won’t make it

I know we haven’t quite finished R.3 yet, but even at this early stage it really is starting to look like a race between the Roosters, Storm and Rabbitohs for the premiership.

The other teams are emulating the Roosters form in 2018.

What the hell does that mean?

What the hell does that mean?

It means the Roosters started off playing like busteds last year. They didn't get going really until about two thirds of the way through the rounds. It appeared to work so other sides are doing likewise this year. Pretty simple really.

so Greeny is actually a tactical genius?

The Sydney Roosters, led by a bilingual crossdresser, will claim a May-June premiership that'd make Mary's dome blush red.

Lurking beneath the surface of the early season pretenders is the diverse Cronulla Sharks. Many underrated stars such as Kurtis Capewell and Scottis Sorrensen have family or friends who have visited Europe. Don't forget the Laoshin Sensation Shaun Johnson at 6. Dugan would be a mongrel bitsa as well.

Nobody at Sydney Roosters is a cross dresser, though the head coach is bilingual.

The Storm with their Dutch Superstar Sub Ryan Papenhuyzen are still favourites

Nobody at Sydney Roosters is a cross dresser,

I wouldn’t bet my hard earned on that

It’s the eastern suburbs.

it puts the laotion on its skin

 

[DC_fan]

Maybe I should change this to read a two horse race

 

[Walt Flanigan]

Or a no horse race, the Broncos are f*cked

 

[footy75]

If Roosters are at full strength come finals time hard to see them not going back to back.

 

[BM1979]

At this stage it is a 3 horse race . Cronulla would be my smokey if they can somehow manage to pinch a top 4 spot and get their injured players back .

 

[t-ba]

Raiders and at much longer odds *shudders* Eels are in with Cooee of the big boys.

 

[Lemon Squash]

If Parra are allowed to move all our remaining games including finals to BankWest then we might be a shot

 

[super_coach]

Chooks have the best no1, the best no7, probably the best centre, a very good 6 and all the rest are rep quality.How they get the talent under the cap is another story, but without major injuries no one will get near them. Souths are the only team that might be able bully them off their game. Sharks will be the next team to challenge the Rosters dominance, but that will be two years down the track.

Fingers crossed Latrell gets lured to Souths for next year just to peg the Chooks back a tad. It certainly is not healthy for the NRL to have so much talent in one team, but you can’t blame the Chooks for it although it would be great to see all clubs salary cap details made public just ease public perception

The Sharks are definitely flying under the radar right now. They're a scary prospect when they get everyone back. Missing arguably their 3 best players in Johnson, Moylan and Graham.

Latrell is contracted to the roosters for 2020 which makes all this talk about him redundant as no one can actually talk to him until after November 1
