Last year was a high scoring match so I predict a low scoring one this time.

Roosters by 40

Roosters in a close game. Warriors play better at home.

 

[scottttt]

warriors are yet to lose at home, but im picking this will be the game to break that streak with about half our salary cap out due to injury

 

[ozbash]

us by a few.

 

[brooksy19]

Anyone got a video if that hit on Ned Catic from back in the day ? :lol:

 

[brooksy19]

I think the NZ boys might get up, is S. Price back ?

 

[Chook Norris]

^yes i heard Price is back----


tbh i'm not too confident about this game, sure warriors have been ordinary in defence esp

but warriors yet to lose at home will be a big ask from the roosters

Warriors by 12

 

[kingdamo]

Really hope we don't lose our first game at home.

Pricey should be back this week and Tate WILL get through origin so we will get alot of leadership back this week, which we have sorely missed in all of our away games.

Rovelli should be dropped too, but Ivan won't (I don't think) and there really isn't anyone to replace him anyway unless he brings someone up from the U20's or puts someone out of position.

Warriors to win in a tight one.

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Every week for the past month we have heard that Price is back this week. He is damn close though so is a possibility

Expecting a massive forward clash in this one, quite looking forward to it

People saying he will be back these last couple of weeks has been more out of hope than fact. But this week is the week is was susposed to be back from the start, so here's hoping...

 

[Dr Crane]

Roosters by plenty unless we see a 100% attitude change

 

[ledzep]

Roosters should win comfortably, although we haven't played further away than Gosford yet, so traveling to NZ might make things more interesting

 

[adamkungl]

should win but a worrying one definately

 

[OVP]

Anyone got a video if that hit on Ned Catic from back in the day ? :lol:

Nope but i've got this one

Btw i reckon this will be a close one. 4 tired Roosters forwards (unless Freddy decides to give them a rest after origin) plus a vastly different Warriors outfit after last week. NZ play a lot better at home, and Cleary would have given them a rocket. Plus they love to beat us and have a big forward pack = A very hard game. Roosters by 6-8 (late).

 

[Fast Eddie]

Awen got his own back

[cookie40]

Will depend on how our forwards pull up after the Origin. If they show half the spirit they showed over the weekend then we should win and win well. It shouldnt be too different than last week in tactics with the first task in tying up the forwards and then unleashing our backs. Proud to be a Roosters supporter.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

Warriors team has been named, but I'm too annoyed to post it. Plenty of promising youth, but still plenty of trash. Oh, 20 man bench, no Price.

 

[wittyfan]

With Witty back, the Warriors should get the cash.
