[Babyface O'reilly]

Easts win, Souffs are shit. Souffs win, NRL is rigged.
Just gettin’ it out of my system early.

 

[This Year?]

Last Thursday we saw the Souths side of the rivalry. This time we will see the Easts side.

 

[pantherz9103]

I have no love for 'em but I think the Rorters will get quick payback from their last round loss. Not just because Keary is back and S Burgess is out but because teams that lose to an opposition in the last round tend to beat them in Week 1 of the finals if they meet in back to back weeks.

 

[Chief_Chujo]

Lets see if Roosters have this mythical next gear for the finals. Gut says Souths are getting up here.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

Souths are f**ked. They looked physically shot to hell after their win last Thursday, and losing Surgess is not going to help. Rorters will be too desperate for the week off.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Roosters will show last week was just them not caring. Easts by 12.

 

[footy75]

Roosters.

With Sam out, Cam Murray must play 80 mins in the middle. Roberts back means no Gagai in the centres which is better for us defensively. His battles with Latrell last year were great.

Whatever the sides though, it doesn't make that much of a difference when these two teams meet - everyone will be fired up.

The positive as a Rabbitohs or Roosters fan is knowing you can't get knocked out by your rivals this year. Last year still hurts as I'm sure 2014 did for Roosters fans.

Can't wait to buy my tickets tomorrow to go and not see a thing!

Cam Murray is 50 shades of awesome.

 

[BunniesMan]

Game of the season. And possibly a grand final preview.

 

[horrie hastings]

Got my tickets, so happy.

 

[ram raid]

Would be very lucky to see the Roosters that average again. One can only hope!

 

[yobbo84]

Got my tickets, so happy.

Got mine in Bay 6. It's going to be a ripper atmosphere.

 

[adamkungl]

This gonna be good

And sets us up nicely for a possible GF rematch!

Loser likely has the prelim of death in Melbourne. I can't see it happening.

Melbourne are beatable

 

[Danish]

Can we agree on something?

Whoever loses, they also have to lose in the prelim. I think my fellow roosters and foe Souths fans would agree that our respective fan bases couldn’t handle meeting in a grand final. People would die that week from pure stress

We live for this

Roosters v Souths have not faced in a Final since 1935
It's the ultimate
Winning or losing this would shade even 2010 or 2004 for feeling. We're 1 and 3 in GFs against Sydney rivals in my lifetime, I need this
