SBW, Radley, Friend and Verills make the Roosters quite imposing. Our bench was much better last night but at full strength the Roosters might just get us.

you might play them again this year

They have to (more than likely) get past the Storm in Brisbane which will be a big ask.

yes thats right , roosters have the players to do that

They have to get past the Raiders and the Storm after a huge game against us. If they make it through that run and beat us in the grand final then they bloody deserve it.

They definitely improve with a few ins but I think we definitely improve having had our moment of stage fright and getting a week off.

So it turns out that the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe, and Everything isn't 42 after all. It's 18. 18 straight.

Peter Sterling was getting himself in a twist trying to say that this will be the biggest winning streak a side has ever taken into a Grand Final and won. Actually, it is the biggest winning streak any team has ever taken into a decider, regardless of the outcome, and by quite some way. The previous highest was 10 by Easts in 1935, Souths in 1955, Manly 1972 and Parra 2001.

Souths won the comp in 1925 with 12 straight wins, but it was first past the post that year. The Dragons in 1959 won the comp unbeaten, and were on a 20 game unbeaten run, but had drawn with Balmain in round 11, so their winning run was only 8.
