2019 GF | PREMIERS - Roosters 14-8 Raiders @ ANZ

[azza29]

Already have my GF ticket, so for this week at least I’ll get behind those wacky Raiders.

(Still beats sitting through Manly v NZ back in 2011 )

Feels weird not being in a grand final. But will be nice to watch without the stress in a weird way

Heart says Canberra, head says Roosters. Looking forward to it

Score = Roosters 36 - Raiders 4

CC medal = Mitchell

CC medal = Mitchell

Tedesco for sure. You know a player has reached the top when he can knock on in front of his own sticks and neither the refs nor the commentators call it.

We don’t have a chance in hell.
No point even playing the game imo.

raiders by 4

3rd time this year these two teams meet.

Last 2 were both close and both away games for Chooks.
22-18 Roosters
30-24 Roosters

I imagine this one will be close too. Canberra to win 26 - 22.

Can’t see us winning TBH but I think we’ll put up a good fight and it will be a tight finish.

I still can't believe we are in the grand final. The most bizarre thing about it is I have not enjoyed watching us play that much this year. Our attack has looked really clunky for most of the season, especially at home. It's just that we finally have 17 players who compete and fight on every play and for every inch. But we haven't been this ugly to watch since the Elliot years. Anyway it's worked and if thats what it takes to make a grand final in this comp then so be it.

If Roosters go into the game thinking they have it in the bag *cough 2003 cough* then they will get shown up, otherwise this is a good chance for them to go back to back.

If Canberra win, I want to see Ricky Stuart and Jarrod Croker get on stage during the presentation and demand Andrew Barr fund a new stadium for the city.

 

[Meapro Ham]

It’s hard to see how Canberra can score enough points to win. Most of their points in the finals have come from opposition turnovers and flukey kicks. Wouldn’t be enough to beat the roosters you’d think. Their tenacity does give them some sort of chance though if they get some luck.

 

[Meapro Ham]

Tedesco for sure. You know a player has reached the top when he can knock on in front of his own sticks and neither the refs nor the commentators call it.

You also know a player has reached the top when he gets subjected to constant sniping from jealous panthers fans on the LU forum.

Time to ruin the fairytale.
f**k the underdog story

I want them to do it regardless, if only to bring national attention to Barr's AFL junkets and dodgy deals with GWS.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

Raiders in a Grand Final. Australia retains the Ashes in England.

Weird year in sport. The Knights being shit is the only constant.

All we need now is for Chautauqua win the Melbourne Cup out of retirement.

Hopefully the EASTS chant drowns out the Viking clap

If tickets are free enough, it just might.

And dedicate the win to @bileduct

 

[Rhino_NQ]

Not if he drops the medal and accidentally headbutts Joyce Churchill when he's up to receive it

Is this after he trips heading up the stairs?

Do you buy in to all media beat ups?

No, but I bought my tickets.
