Roosters need to win this to really kick start our season. Should be a close match, really looking forward to it.

 

[DragonPunk]

Dragons by 6 plz.

 

[Chook Norris]

hope the dragons play sh*t house.. and won't score more than their usual 3 tries

since it's Anzac Day.. hopefully we won't fall asleep AGAIN in that 2nd half

 

[adamkungl]

We'll come out on fire, get a comfortable lead, then with a combination of bad luck, ineptitude, players going MIA, and refereeing f**kups get beat in the last 5 mins.

 

[Non Terminator]

If the amazing ANZAC clash doesn't fire us up, what will?
Dragons amazingly like us in 2008.
4/5 to start with, came up with a shock loss to Newcastle with someone useless scoring the last try, then come into Anzac.
So I'll tip us 26-6 :lol:

 

[Chook Norris]

funnily enough we played Dragons into form last year(was that last year? seemed ages ago tbh..) :|

 

[adamkungl]

That wasn't a fun 2 weeks...3 hr train to fking Gosford to get embarrassed by fat sh*t Wicks, then getting belted by the Dragons at ANZ. ugh.

 

[Non Terminator]

Pretty much. I know how you feel.

 

[Jobdog]

What a wonderful game this promises to be. Both teams with no attack except for the cross-field bombs. Match of the century here :sarcasm:

 

[adamkungl]

Anyway. If we are planning on standing up and being counted this season, like I know we can (we've played some top footy at times...sh*thouse at others...), its got to be this week. Fire up Roosters, 2 wins from 7 games will not look pretty...

we've scored something like 3 tries from kicks this season. f**k up JD

:shock: Surely not :crazy:

My bad

Wow...
Lots of tries today from kicks hey.

Well, no tries in the second half ;-)

Seriously though, the Dragons were far from impressive last night and if the Roosters can match them in the forwards and negate Soward's kicking game by pressuring him all afternoon, the Roosters can win this one. Just make sure they know the game goes for 80 minutes

Fittler doesn't seem to have drilled this in in a year and a half...do we train for 20 minutes less than every other team or something? Are we unfit? Is it terrible luck? Inexperience? Poor bench use? what the f**k is wrong with this mob. Argh. I can specifically remember about 4 games last year that the same thing happened as today. That's not counting the ones where we fell asleep in the second half but still managed the win.

Both the finals matches. One against GC I think...
Even early in the year against Newy when we had form.

I think we did the same against Parra towards the end of the year too...

We've already done it twice this year. from 6 games. ugh.

it still amazes me how people still think we can only score from kicks :x

anyway, very much looking forward to this match.. no matter the outcome

a win here would inevitably spark our season into life
