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

[Todd Hoffman]

He should have shut his mouth from 2 weeks ago. Back to back losses and more to come.

 

[T-Boon]

I'm looking forward to seeing how far that short kick off rubbish really takes you this season, dogz.

How is trying to make something happen rubbish? The game needs more of this.

 

[_snafu_]

Will the Roosters win another game this year?

 

[footy75]

Roosters will get it together

 

[txta2]

On paper, no they wont win it. There is just something about this team, there is no real x factor player. The forward pack seems to crumble up the middle if the opposition are fierce.

 

[wibble]

They have the essence of the team that went minor premiers three years in a row, but minus SBW, RTS, Maloney, that is a fair bit of class missing that they've never really replaced.

Keary though is reinvigorating their attack, and Gordon is a solid fullback, so their spine is looking better than last year. Backs are rocks and diamonds, forwards are fairly tough and good metre eaters.

Discipline still appears an issue.

I see no reason they can't win it, they can make the 8, and even the top 4 is quite possible, so from there, they can easily win (the trick is to make the GF from third place...)

Roosters are still sitting in the top 4.

Roosters are in the top 4 after 7 rounds, and will stay there if they beat the PommyGareth Widdop's team on ANZAC Day.

 

[Card Shark]

So

 

[Spot On]

Roosters are in the top 4 after 7 rounds, and will stay there if they beat the PommyGareth Widdop's team on ANZAC Day.

How many sides have they played in the current top 8 and how many of those current top 8 sides have they beaten?

 

[Spot On]

The facts are the Roosters have been gifted an easy draw this year. Even so, if they can't improve a lot from the way they are performing currently they will struggle to stay in touch with bottom half of the 8.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

The signing of James Tedesco by the Sydney Roosters means that the Roosters will possess the best spine in the NRL in 2018 (James Tedesco, Luke Keary, Mitchell Pearce, Jake Friend). They are also likely to be rid of the mistake prone Shaun Kenny-Dowell and the penalty machine Aiden Guerra in 2018. Even if the Roosters don't win the 2017 Grand Final they will be near certainties to win it in 2018.

Ok then.

 

[Albert Rosenfeld]

Sydney Roosters now sit in 3rd place, after defeating St George-Illawarra. It is now looking like a Melbourne Storm vs Sydney Roosters Grand Final.

 

[wittyfan]

Lol!!!

 

[carcharias]

Rorts scrape home against the dragons minus their playmaker

Should've won by 20

Like the Sharks did ?

Wait.

 

[Tommy Smith]

I think we're well short of the Storm and Sharks this year. And the Cowboys too when they've got everyone on the park.

This thread would make sense in 2018 with Tedesco at fullback.

But as for 2017 I think a Prelim Final would be a great result.

Agreed. Stfu Albert or I'll start calling you Plastique Bertrand.

Last time I looked the sharks just won the premiership
