Roosters by 22-16.

VERSUS

 

[AlwaysGreen]

I've got nothing against these 2 teams.

But I hope a monkey pox outbreak ruins both teams finals campaigns.

 

[The Lounge Lizard]

Match of the round.

Go you Roosters and make my dream come true. Dislocate Smugster's chin from the rest of his insipid body. He has surpassed Alfie Langer and Michael Hancock as my most hated player in RL history.

 

[Someguy]

Roosters more than a match for the storm in every position bar 5/8 and hooker. TAB is having a laugh with roosters at 2.55

 

[westerntiger]

Last year they trumped up the roosters storm game at AAMI Park something chronic and it was one of the worst games I've ever seen.

Tipping the Storm to pump the Roosters by at least 30.

Yeah, that Luke Keary guy, he's garbage eh

 

[Someone2]

Storm by 8

I don’t consider him to be better than Munster. At every other number in the line ups bar 9 Roosters have a significantly superior player

 

[Stinkfinger]

Why then is such a superior team fighting for its very life?

Everyone’s a rooster fan this week

Gee your selling the storm short there. Looking at the teams comparing players that defend each other i.e. right centre v left centre

Teddy > Meaney - The biggest differential in talent IMO
Tupou/Coates is a push
Manu > Tonumaipea - another big differential
Olam > Momo - easily
Sualli > Nofo
Munster > Keary - not as big a gap as some would say though IMO. Keary is a top 4 5/8 and top 2 when at his best
Hughes > Walker - Walker is coming along nicely but Hughes is an upgrade at this point in their careers
JWH/J-Brom is a push
Grant > Verrils
Lodge/NAS is a push
Kaufusi > Butcher
Angus > K-Brom
Rads/Smith - Very tough to say actually. Probably an edge to rads from a pure lock perspective.

Starting 13s are very even all things considered IMO. We do look stronger on the bench though.

Think you got this one wrong, Captain. Nick Politis has been called the Godfather for many a year. Burns is closer to Murdoch given Storm were created by SL.

Or perhaps all of the Eels fans who know if Storm win it keeps them from getting into the top 4.

I didn't create them. The Zero Tackle website did - https://www.zerotackle.com/if-nrl-clubs-were-simpsons-characters-53783/

Well, that plus a huge deficiency in points differential.... not even the broncos could give up that many points in 2 weeks.

 

[JamesRustle]

Storm comfortably this evening.
