The time has finally come and I can't wait.

The roosters actually get to be on the same ground as the greatest team in the history of sport. I am star struck and I am sure our roster of moderately successful players is too.

I doubt we win but it is just a pleasure to be there.

Oh and did everyone know the panthers beat the roosters in the 03 GF?

This Panthers team mean business. No weakness across the park. What can one say but here comes our 16th win in a row, and win by 24-6.

Smug v Arrogance.

Wot a humdinger.

 

[Rhyno]

Can’t see anything except a huge roosters win here

19 times this season you've been wrong with your only right choice was when Parra clutched a win from the hands of defeat.

You are our good luck charm.

Roosters.

Sowie and the boys also won Souffs the comp in 2014

Sonny Bill will have trouble sleeping this week. A career defining moment for him getting to be on the same hallowed ground as Isaah Yeo. Hopefully Isaah is kind enough to give him a wink & a nod.

 

[This Year?]

If my team had a 10th of the talent of either of these teams, I'd be buying a ticket instead of posting on a forum like a nerdy girl perving a hot guy from behind a fence like in a teenage angst movie.

I'm not crying, I just got something in my eye....*sniff*

I'd love to go. Got a spare ticket?

Either result should see plenty of salty fluid expended.

 

[Apey]

I didn't give Panthers much of a chance of beating Roosters or Storm but i wasn't expecting them to play either in week 1. I think they'll just win this.

 

[Pete Cash]

Its gotta be hard for the roosters to bounce back from that slaughter but well can never write them off

 

[Valheru]

There are 2 win streaks at play here. We are on a 6 finals game winning streak including two grand finals. Not as impressive as the feats of Penrith this year obviously but still something for our plucky club to be proud of.

If we make 7 in a row it will equal Brisbane of 92-94.

Ironically the last time we won 6 finals in a row, the streak was ended by Penrith in the 2003 GF (They beat us in that game for those unaware).
