Roosters by 40,Jonathon Plod to plod in Sydney again

 

[AlwaysGreen]

We're a 20% better team with Jake Friend back. Guerra is also one of the form players in the comp this year.

And on top of that a 50% improvement from last weeks dreadful performance (22/37 completions is horrendous), and we'll see a completely different team tomorrow night.

I agree with you 32%.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Really can't see the Roosters winning. And I hope they do of a shocking series of refs calls. Rugby league is Sydney's game! Queensland is merely allowed to participate as a cash cow. Just like New Zealand.

:lol:

 

[Canard]

Part of me reckons he was just doing his bit to promote the game

I agree.

This game is going to rate is arse off in QLD, but will struggle attract much interest in Sydney, and he is doing his part.

Today's Bully has helped it along also:

 

[isaiah]

Except for Sonny Bill. They must think he'll job them if they penalise him.

why would anyone be frightened to be hit by him? did you see his last fight? he cant hit like carl webb or jamie goddard. he hits more like gallen, punched myles twice with myles' hands by his side and couldn't drop him.

Easts.

Comfortably.

As the week has gone on I'm more certain the Roosters will win. The shrill hysteria from the NQ media tells me of a "happy to get this far" attitude that is the reason they've never gone all the way in the JT era. They will lose tonight.

And then they'll blame it on the NRL wanting a Souths-Easts prelim.

Tigers 13 + in the 20s, Broncos no heart etc etc....

Thank you!

Cowboys by 3. Revenge for '04 Prelim! haha.

 

[Hutty1986]

Any Chooks fans claiming they're a 20-30 point better side this week??

Up the Cowboys!

 

[Canard]

Shame LOD type isn't playing for us anymore, to take on a fake tough guy like Mick Crocker and leave him knocked out like in 04.

 

[Danish]

I'm sure we can convince Ricko to come down from the stands and pimp slap a few teeth out of one of your players mouths if that helps? ;-)

:lol:I call it the Nathan Fien.

How the f**k him and Fittler didn't even give away a penalty for that Ill never know.

But the way so called tough guy Morley backed down like a mongrel dog when Rauhihi shaped up to him was priceless.

f**k that was a good game though, in fact one of the best games of footy Ive ever seen.

 

[Danish]

What shocked me was how Ricko managed to only get 1 week for a blindsided hit right to Fien's chops. I think the open hand fooled the judiciary into thinking it wasn't a big deal or something.... Then LOD, did he even get charged for ironing out Crocker? I'm pretty sure it was so far away from the action that no cameras even caught it :lol:

Obviously you could get away with a lot more on the field even 10 years ago.

Was a cracker of a game. Huge crowd to boot! I recall we had a large group of travelling cowboys fans sitting behind us who'd all flown down from townsville. They were massive value and at the end were happy to shake hands and wish us luck for the following week (not that it helped...)

LOD got nothing, Im certain if there was vision, he would have been either sent off or suspended for a long time.

Great Game.

 

[Bulldog Force]

I think the Cowboys can do this after they put Brisbane away last week.

 

[abpanther]

Is Friend definitely playing? Hearing rumours that he's out

One crazy theory is Robinson blowing up about the minor issue in the Townsville papers is a smokescreen to cover Friend's injury.

That's drawing a long bow for mine.
