New season absolutely everyone deathriding Souths. Nothing changes :lol:

 

[English Rose]

Sam Burgess is starring and if there was a H2H with Sonny-Bill, he is clearly ahead on points from where I sit. Burgess will go out with a bang in 2014!

South Sydney should be ahead given I feel the momentum was with them in most facets of the game so the Roosters have done well to hang in there. Mitch Pearce is nowhere to be seen and Maloney is quiet too. Not much to "crow about" outside an effort play from Moga that led to a great opening try.

I took the Roosters and can see them winning this in a close one if the possession and penalties even up.

And to think a lot of Souths fans thought Sam Burgess wouldn't put the effort in this year. I bet one of them was bunniesman!

 

[Noa]

South's as usual look good up front but lack cohesion with their shifts wide.

 

[RufusRex]

can we please have our shoulder charge back ... rule makers are merkins ...

such an easy thing ... penalise the @#$@ out of a shoulder charge that hits a bloke high but for ones that dont hit the head play on and give the bloke a pat on the back for a good hit.

 

[Aragorn]

50uff$ playing like its the GF they never had last year.

 

[Rosetta]

Souths look fitter and fitness is very important with the rule changes, Rabbits should win.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Had to mute the commentary - wish Gould and Warren would just piss off now.

 

[BunniesMan]

BM just stop. It's painfully obvious you're trolling and nobody gives a shit. Seriously mate, it's pathetic.

It's very clear that you just don't know what you're doing. I'm actually embarrassed for you.

I don't troll. I call it as I see it. When the refs deserve a bash they get it. You sook whenever anything goes against the Raiders. Big difference between you and I. Unlike you, I actually know rugby league.

We're going to have 27 grand finals this year. And we'll win 23+ of them. Including the last 3.

No.

No you don't

 

[skeepe]

Massive high shot by Isaac Luke but play on apparently.

Souths must have Inglis heading to the right hand side where Maloney and Jennings are sitting. Inglis has been spotting Sonny-Bill Williams in an effort to wear him down though I feel they're best serviced having Inglis attack to the right in the 2nd half.

 

[BunniesMan]

What a soft penalty.

 

[Jason Maher]

Now you're just overcooking it BM.

 

[Aragorn]

yeah, just a pity you couldnt win the one that counted last year. :lol:

 

[Noa]

Ex roosters player steps in to save the day

 

[STORM.99/07]

the refs are focussing on " hand on the ball" penalities tonight..watch out squirrel.

 

[Notell]

As much as I hate saying it, you were the best team in the world before then. NRL premiers are the best team in a world. One game against the winners of a vastly inferior competition changes nothing. If youse got belted I'd still say as NRL premiers you're the best in the world. No English club could survive 24 NRL games and 3/4 finals games and still be there in October.

"youse"?????

Inexcusable.

You are a low class deadbeat.

 

[Frederick]

Looks like souffs are using the roosters tactic of purposely giving away penalties to slow the game down

 

[man2iel_]

Here come the champs...

Again, penalties and an even possession rate should see Roosters go on to win here.

Edit: Soft option Roosters. Attack here and forgo the 2pts.
