[I Bleed Maroon]

It's always hard to tip round 1, but for now, I'm going with Roosters by 10.

 

[BranVan3000]

Roosters definite favourites here. Can't see us winning with a new halves pairing

It may be exactly the same as last year

Do you guys get sick of playing each other in Rd 1?

 

[BunniesMan]

Do you guys get sick of playing each other in Rd 1?

No. I never get sick of playing against traditional rivals or big Sydney teams.

If it was upto me we'd play Easts, Tigers, Dragons, Dogs and Parra every week.

 

[BunniesMan]

And Chookes, we coming for ya. We've been stewing all off season waiting for this day to get our revenge. You are coming into our house, you will not be leaving with a victory.

SBW aka Soft Bitch Williams is unlikely to leave our house in one piece

That'll ensure a top 4 finish, like taking candy from a baby.

Keep fishing ...

You've been waiting all off season to face us. Where as we haven't even thought about Souffs once the past 5 months.

So you can have your "revenge" in Rnd 1.

That's your priority.

Ours is B2B Premierships.

And Souffs in Rnd 1 is a footnote towards that goal.

I don't think it's too early to lol@souffs

 

[BunniesMan]

There'll be a lot of lols, lols aimed east as a fit and determined and HUNGRY Souths rips into the blokes who will be content to live on yesterdays spoils.

 

[Spot On]

New season same problems for the Bunnies. Maguire needs a new game plan to beat the better teams. The window for a Premiership has almost passed them by. Is that old winger having another run around for them this year???? You know, the one that was picked by default for NSW last season?

 

[Swarzey]

Roosters to thump Souths again.

Plenty of lols.

 

[Big Sam]

Roosters have probably the most complete 1-17 we've seen from a defending premier. They are clear and deserved favourites to go back to back.

 

[GongPanther]

Easts will be a more seasoned side and will still have that burning hunger for more premiership success.

This will be a torrid affair first up with both sides battling for bragging rights as far as favoritism is concerned.

Easts had a good dress rehearsal against Wigan to get themselves match fit for this game.

And it should prove invaluable for a comfortable,but highly entertaining win for the Roosters first up.

Easts 22-12.

 

[BunniesMan]

Nobody goes back to back for a good reason.

If a cheating Storm could never go back to back these guys won't.

Congratulations Roosters fans. Line up for your premiership t-shirts and jerseys. It's a lock.

 

[exile on main street]

Rabs by 16-and will then be hailed as certain premiers AGAIN!

 

[LatK7]

Roosters by 8.

Better turn up in numbers. Deserves a big crowd.
