Finals week 3, Roosters v Rabbitohs, Saturday 22nd of September 7:40pm @Allianz Stadium

[The Windsor Rabbit]

Game day is finally here. The week just seemed to drag on I though we would never get here.

I have no idea why, but I just feel a Rabbitohs ambush tonight. Its weird because I’m usually very pessimistic, but I’ve just got a feeling.

I hope you are correct bro. I could do with a game I can cheer all the time and not sit on the edge of my seat for the whole 80.

I can feel the B.P. rising already and it’s not even lunch time yet lol

Curnsy I think we've all had a lift now that Sam has been cleared.

I keep thinking about the way we demolished them in the 2014 final,feather dusters!
But we had a bench of a Burgess,Teo,McQ and Clarke wow.
Turner looked every inch a NRL player back then!

The bench is where this could be won and lost. Especially with Seibold's reluctance to use it in recent weeks.
I would still play George from it with Murray going to lock but i doubt it would happen now. George's best performances this season have been when he has come on after 25 minutes and terrorised the opposition middle forwards. It's when he is at his damaging best imo and will trump Tetevano's effect who i believe will be the biggest threat from the Rooster bench. I feel this game will be tailor made for Murray and the more minutes he plays, the better it is for the South Sydney forward pack.

For all their improvements in personnel compared to 12 months ago, it is the same core forward pack that didn't turn up against NQ this time last year. Win the battle in the middle and the backline will take care of the rest.

I’ve only just noticed your avatar mate.
I remember Blakey stealing King Wally’s crown in the promo when we beat them 20-8 in 1989.

Love the Blake years!!

I would practice my chip-chase in the back yard for hours emulating Phil Blake.

A long day for you to wait bro being over the ditch and all!

You're not wrong man, I started the day out with just a few butterflies but I'm really, really starting to feel it now. My nerves are literally through the friggin roof!!!

[Travitoh]

I'm not nervous at all but that's just me as a supporter.
What will be, will be. I've got no control over proceedings, I'm only viewing them.

I'll f**king love it if Crichton crosses for the winner though!

 

[Mr Spock!]

Worried about this game especially given how physical our 2 finals have been.

 

[Curns13]

I’m terrified. I hate this. Why do we care so much? This is the worst.

 

[callmack1]

Let's go and get these Roosters!!!!! Do it for Clarky!!!!!

 

[Curns13]

Watch the Cronk grubber to Tedesco. AJ is always in the line and it has been a real weakness the past month.

 

[Curns13]

Here... we... go!

 

[Curns13]

Gotta sustain some pressure there. Not every set needs to end in a try. Get a grubber in and put sone pressure on.

 

[Curns13]

f**k! Why can’t we get through a set after we score?
