I actually think the dragons will make a match of this. Roosters will be too classy but Saints with a bit of confidence and hopefully off the back of a Mary extension should put up a fight

I agree.

We have been up for 4 weeks now. Fair to say the point has been proven after the talk of us missing finals after starting 0-2.

Robbo always plays the long game and with 14 games to go expect 2 "down" periods of approx 3 games each within that.

I think the first one starts this week. We will still have too much for the dragons IMO but a meandering 26-14 win or similar wouldn't surprise me.

I must have missed that talk. You only need to look at the cattle to know they aint missing no finals anytime soon. Unless you are talking about the Politis talk that he wanted to restart all teams at 0 because otherwise the poor Roosters would be disadvantaged.

There was plenty of it.

Roosters have never made the finals after starting 0-2. That got a good run in the media.

Yeah well there were a lot of sports journos with no sport to write about, it is true.

And by the way, they were minor premiers after losing the first three in 1980.

 

[to_ddeath]

Hopefully Mehry Shitmerkin McGronks final nail this Friday night...

Rorts by the length of Bass Strait...Moz bros picking up 3 pies each to rub it in further.

 

[GongPanther]

Roosters to continue their grand form by winning by 30+

 

[pantherz9103]

I'm getting pretty sick of the Rorters trouncing everyone (didn't do it us though in R1 haha..) but unfortunately it will continue for at least another week. The Merged Marys will think they are going alright after beating two pretty ordinary teams quite convincingly only to be slapped up.

There was plenty of talk from media and fans of the Roosters possibly missing the finals being 0-2 especially if it was going to be a shortened season where every team might play each other just once.

 

[Walk On Home Boy]

Rorts due for a loss. Dragons are a slight chance.

 

[Cogburn]

The Roosters will be up for this one, they play the Storm in Melbourne the week after, they're not going to risk 2 losses on the trot. This Roosters team has plenty of gears, we won't see the intensity of Saturday but we'll still see a 30 point win.

Lol you poor chooks fans. Must be so stressful supporting them.

 

[Styles clash]

Go Roosters

 

[Valheru]

Lol you poor chooks fans. Must be so stressful supporting them.

That's a fairly wild interpretation of what i said TBH.

 

[Dragon Slayer]

McGregor to get a 2 year extension after only losing by 30.

 

[Tommy Smith]

Lol you poor chooks fans. Must be so stressful supporting them.

Umm excuse me but Grand Finals are very stressful occasions. And Prelims are even more stressful.

Having to endure them basically every year takes quite a toll. It might explain my baldness.

 

[shear_joy9]

roosters will surely rest teddy for this one
