I expect that we will notch up a healthy win next Saturday afternoon, after rebounding strongly following our disappointing loss against the Raiders last Thursday night. I may be wrong, but I am quietly confident that the margin will be 13+.

I am looking forward to seeing the team list.

Clearly we should win this even taking into account our appalling record at the CC. Don’t care by how much as long as there’s no more damn injuries. We can’t afford any more.

After a nine day turnaround, it is finally game day ladies and gentlemen. Fire up you mighty Roosters, fire up! Here we go.

Boydy was a late withdrawal. I think he needs the occasional rest here and there to be honest:

Boydy is going to need more rest during the remainder of the season I think.

We won ugly yesterday, but a win is a win nonetheless. Our defence was better, and we certainly had less errors in our game, which are real positives, but we now have to turn our attention to the attack side this week as we should have racked up a score against them.

We need to make the most of next week's opportunity to play ourselves back into form, before heading into a tougher game the week after and an even tougher affair the week after that.

Robbo is the master of managing our trajectory during a season. This will be yet another test. As he says, no season is the same. That is certainly correct.
