Forget the result earlier in the year, that means nothing for this game. I think it could be a cracker and quite brutal if both teams are up for it. Roosters have to combat the travel and a hostile home crowd while the Warriors fight against a short turnaround. It's ironic that on friday I was watching fox and they showed highlights from the 31-31 classic the two teams had last year, and that match popped into my head the moment I realised we were playing the Roosters. If the game is half as good as that one then I think it'll be great to watch.

Warriors short turn around is one to watch though. Probably feeling very giddy after today, but they all seem well-grounded when we saw them after the game.

The atmosphere at this game is going to be incredible. I remember the Warriors/Eels crowd last year in the finals was the loudest I'd ever heard. I think the Warriors will get home.

Roosters are to be exited from the finals by the Warriors.
By a big margin too,I reckon.

I like the fact that we're underdogs.

We've been off the radar since Friday, even though we still put in a very good performance.

The boys definately won't want to go out of the finals with back-to-back losses and we have experience over in NZ this year.

Can the Warriors handle the big favouritism tag?

Lucky break more like it. You guys jumped to an early lead and run away with it in the end. Hardly a contest. This is a clean slate for everybody. Previous histories mean 0.

Rubbish, they were undefeated at home and well placed on the table when the Roosters gave it to them.

True, but we beat Parra, Newcastle, Canberra and the Dogs - none of these teams are left in the competition today.

Roosters were red-hot, we were 4 wins and 5 losses on the table and at the time rather besieged.

As others have said however, things have changed.

Warriors have now won 9 of 11, the Roosters have gone off the boil a little.

Another point of note. If I am correct, Pricey will play his 298th first-grade game this weekend.

If we somehow make the Grand Final, he will play his 300th barring injury/suspension.

Season ticket holders buying extra tickets have already sold out the south stand at Mt Smart, on top of buying their original seats.

This is going to be a bit huge.

I agree that was deafening, this year I will be there supporting another team though if I can get tickets:p.

This will be a great game, very closely contested, I look forward to the huge forward battle.

Go you mighty Roosters!
