[This Year?]

Whoever loses gets the double whammy of losing to a bitter rival and missing out on finals.
At the start of the season if someone told you this fixture would decide a place in the finals you would have laughed at them.

Ninef bowl

 

[Danish]

No JWH or Latrell.

Arro and Radley gonna have to carry the grub torch this Friday

As a roosters fan we accepted we wouldn't be making finals 3 months ago so if we do get there it's a bonus and if not.. meh.. didn't deserve it.

We haven't been in the 8 since round 10. Souths at that same stage were in first place. It is obvious what the funnier scenario is so please join me in a good old fashioned lol@souffs.

 

[The Man Shake]

May the best loser lose. I'm not picking either team to win, I'm just here for the entertainment.

 

[yobbo84]

Someone is going to sh*t the bed on Friday night and it's anyone's guess who that will be!

 

[t-ba]

Funniest outcome here is the Roosters winning and the Cowboys stealing their lunch.

 

[Victoire]

The loser will be taunted and booed until my throat is sore

Racist

funniest outcome is cowboys win, we all get a good laugh at the loser of this game for a day, then the sharks win on Sunday and we all get to laugh even harder at the Sticky and the Raiders

Sharks aren't allowed any happiness.

2016 was enough.

If the Raiders lose, and both the Cowboys and Roosters win, then its the Raiders who miss out completely on the top 8 due to its dire points differential.

 

[BunniesMan]

This is where our season relaunch begins. The biggest of all 4 point games. A win not only secures a finals place but eliminates your biggest rival. Whatever happens it will be written into the Souths-Easts history books.

This is our Lazarus moment. All the drama in the tabloids this week will have let the boys unite with a bunker mentality. Everyone has written us off, no better time to go out and shock the world against the old enemy.

 

[yobbo84]

Oh don't worry,, once whichever team is out of the game, things will go downhill very quickly. It'll be a grubfest.

The winner will be whoever plays Souths/Roosters in the finals minus their 2-3 suspended players lol

Now that’s some quality bait. I expect you’ll get a few nibbles.

Battle of the Mids...

I hope its a draw after 2X Golden point extra time

You aren’t playing the long game.

No.

Too much joy.

I appreciate your dedication to the cause that is hating Cronulla that you would even sit through a Ricky Stuart finals berth
