It is game day once again ladies and gentlemen. While we are certainly up against it this week - not only against our oldest enemies and those ferals from the wrong side of Anzac Parade - but we are also up against the officials and everyone else tonight.

Despite this, and our horrendous injury toll, we will go in swinging and give it our all. I expect nothing else from the club with the greatest culture in the NRL.

Fire up you mighty mighty Roosters, fire up!

I have tipped the colours that should never be seen to win, but I would be more than over the moon if we can pull off the unthinkable. Let's get into them and make it a night to remember. Easts to win!
