Both tipping Roosters which has me uneasy

Footy journalists are notoriously conservative.

Hey, we're the underdogs here
The conservative tip would be the 15-in-a-row minor premiers who didnt get touched up by 60 last week!

Conservative = wanting things to stay how they are and have been. ie Roosters being the best team. Quite a few excuses in there why they finished nine points short of that.

I may need to see a gastroentoligist as I have just passed a brick. I am that nervous about tonight it would seem.

Poor SBW did the video session on Kikau & decided "f**k that"
Hopefully Issah still gives him a wave.

I think him being out is a plus for the Roosters, still the benefit of having him around, but not the risk on the field.

Mate of mine always takes a dump before the game. Bit like a Star destroyer dumps it’s garbage before making the jump to light speed as per Imperial procedure.

Just opened up this thread and went into a coughing fit, the smug is real Peeps!!!

My favourite is “I’m unreasonably nervous about this one”.

As though you shouldn’t be nervous about a finals match against the back to back premiers.

Just checked the lineups. FMD these are both very good footy sides. The only real apparent weakness in either side is at 9 for the Roosters, and even then it’s more of an unknown than a weakness.

f**ked if I know who to tip here. If it wasn’t for the Smug haze obscuring my view I might lean towards panthers.

A coughing fit either way.

Roosters now at $2.25.

I think I am right in saying that this will be the first game we start as TAB outsiders this season.

I had a 450g rib eye, veges, wine, dessert & coffee for lunch. I expect to be a couple of kilos lighter by about 9pm. That's if the crap Channel 9 commentary doesn't speed up proceedings though.

Oh right the game, Panthers by 6.

On a side note has there ever been 2 uglier half backs on the same field than tonight?

Smugathon.

Boyd’s looking very ginger these days.

Whispers Crichton wants out. No, the rooster one.

Halfbacks? Has to be the 2 ugliest squads in the NRL

[T-Boon]

Did I hear right that this all sydney final will be in front of 7000 fans? That is embarrassing. Penrith know they would not have attracted 20k to ANZ. Move them to Perth where they would get 20k every week.
