Can the Sydney Roosters win the Grand Final again this year?

I'm bald. And prefer a polish....

Yes they can,Eels,Roosters and Storm are the only possible winners.

'coz they're the teams with that crucial Sport's Girl experience.

Melbourne Storm vs Sydney Roosters Grand Final. Billy Slater vs Latrell Mitchell. What a game!

can't see any team beating a full-strength Storm side

Nope. Most obvious Premiers since Broncos 2000.

SST now likely gone for the season.

Injuries have ended the Cowboys season. They've now ended ours. The Broncos will struggle minus McCullogh despite yesterday. Eels have lost Gutho and Pritchard.

Who's left?!

FFS just give the Storm the trophy now they don't have a serious opponent left standing.

To the OP
The answer is no. No they can't.

 

[Card Shark]

Who's left?!

We will go down fighting.

 

[Danny-Boy]

There's nobody. So which team wants the honour of getting towelled up by the Storm in the 2017 Grand Final?

There are a lot of wrist slitters in here. Take a look at the Storms finals record over the last 6 years.
It's not over yet.

Sharks beating Storm in the GF would be great. Dragons fans wouldn't know what to do with themselves.

The problem is that this year basically all of their main competition are losing their key players to season ending injuries.

Don't think I've ever seen a season like it.

All the injuries to star players have left us with a pretty bland season tbh. The Roosters are without Cordner and Gordon atm so they aren't at full strength but I think they are the team that has the best chance of toppling the Storm.

The Broncos did have to work pretty hard for the 2000 premiership in the end though. They had to come from 20-6 behind at halftime in the first week of the finals and only won 16-10 against Parra in the preliminary finals and won a very boring GF 14-6 against the Roosters who fought to the end.

True that injuries are impacting some teams (Cordner, Thurston) but the finals have a habit of throwing up surprises. Will that happen this year well I don't know but that is part of the excitement.
Anyway, we won our premiership in March so I am at peace now.

SST is absolutely crucial to us as we saw last week. So with him likely done for the year we're f**ked.

And then there's Toops with a groin issue now to go with Boyd's knee, Friend's broken hand, and Gordon's pec.

Forget the title, I can see us falling to 6th with that brutal injury toll.

Sharks winning the comp? Are you mental?

 

[Pedge1971]

Sharks winning the comp? Are you mental?

They were actually like this a month out from finals last year. I have no doubt they will lift and are prob the only team with a chance to beat the grubs.

I'm with Hutty. Could never happen.

It's one of football's unwritten rules.
