2017 Qual Final, Fri - Roosters 24-22 Broncos @ Allianz

[Tommy Smith]

I can't fathom the team staying as named. Even if tupou doesn't play something needs to change in the backline. We can't go with latrell and manu next to each other in defence. It was barely good enough against the titans and would be disastrous against brisbane.

No way the team will run out as named.

 

[Rhyno]

Roosters by 10

 

[Rhino_NQ]

How many minutes before the first brisbane penalty?

 

[Card Shark]

Tevetano and Radley all miss out.

Can't believe how harsh the match review were on Tetevano.

Seen plenty worse just issued a fine.

This is just a deliberate attempt to sabotage our season. It won't work.

Yep. You can't even do a big tackle anymore. This is why I only watch the Roosters play. Watching 8 games of this wishy washy brand of football these days would drive you insane.

Cows will get one quicker than the other 7 teams.

Zane Tetevano has successfully had his charge downgraded. He will now serve a one match ban.

[Life's Good]

Roosters should be too strong off a forward pack that has plenty of punch through the middle and out wide.
Boyd is a big loss for the Broncos who I think are still spooked by those Parra games.

 

[Todd Hoffman]

Chooks unfortunately.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

How many minutes before the first brisbane penalty?

Opening minute on the 5th tackle of the first set

 

[Spade]

What are the Roosters paying Ferguson?

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Roosters.

The Roosters are last in penalty differential?!

Well blow me down.

Only about the 6th time in the last 10 seasons.

But nothing suspicious about that of course!

 

[Headless Chook]

Either that, or Mitchell puts one out on the full from the kick off.

 

[Meapro Ham]

How many minutes before the first brisbane penalty?

However long it takes for JWH to make his first tackle. It's a mandatory penalty. He usually doesn't help his own cause by simply refusing to get off the tackled player until the penalty is given.

Just your run of the mill statistical anomaly.

What are the Roosters paying Ferguson?

Too much

 

[Tommy Smith]

Based on his recent form, not enough.

Fergo has finally pulled his finger out (the pun possibility there is enormous) and has been on fire lately.

Yeah he's definitely earned a couple of extra digits.
