Never let the facts stand in the way of a good rant....

Easts have been the best side in the PL all year, where as Parra have not.

You really should check where you get your info from.

For the record:

1. Parra - 19 Wins 5 Losses 765 For 426 Against 42 Competition Points
2. Easts - 17 Wins 7 Losses 689 For 425 Against 38 Competition Points

Makes no difference to what will happen on Sunday (as it's 1 vs 2 and anything can happen), but when you claim "never let the facts stand in the way of a good rant...." only to follow it up with a rant that can easily be disproved with fact; then I have to stop, point and laugh :lol:

Roosters beat Canberra by well over 50 points last weekend. Jets were beaten by inept referee decisions and luck.

Im not on here to squabble with children and honestly could not give a flyin one, however am of the opinion that the Roosters will win and win easily.

If Parra play like they did last weekend and the Roosters play like they have been playing in the latter part of the season, they will get hammered by the Roosters.

I don't care the slightest about Newtown being the feeder side for them next season when giving this opinion. Nor do I take into account any other factor. My opinion is that Roosters have been playing better football in the last few weeks. They absolutely slaughtered Canterbury then followed it up with a cricket score against an in form and NRL experienced Raiders outfit. Whereas Parra were lucky to beat the Jets by only ten points. A forward pass try and a try also given to them from a player already tackled then passing the ball added up to 12 in correct points. They were also lucky that MERRIT's first try and BOBONGINEs were disallowed. Also the incident in the second half when Jets were all over their line and only 1 metre out with tackles in hand, and MERRITT made the error of dropping the ball whilst playing the ball. Throwing away what would have been a certain Jets try ( Very lucky indeed ).

Do the math. They won by 10, ( 12 points that should not have been given, and the Jets should have scored three more times and normally would have. )

IF Parra play like that against the Roosters, and the Roosters play like they have been playing it will be a cricket score in the Roosters favor. That is my opinion, and we will see what happens on the day.

Jamie Soward is just classes above Premier League standard. He and Grant Rovelli form an awesome halves combination which i think will lead them to victory. Despite the fact that i`m not a fan of either club, it should be a very good GF between 2 very classy Premier League sides. I`m sure there will be plenty of future 1st grade stars on display.

Could you have made any more excuses? :lol:

It's ironic you should call people children yet blame the ref 100% for your loss. That's pretty childish isn't it?

I will give you one thing, the Roosters do take great form into this match, it will be close and they deserve to be favourites. But the Jets fans would have voted for them if they beat Canberra by 1, purely because of the fact we knocked you out of the finals.

Good little match preview. Hopefully I can finish work in time to catch the beginning of the game. Otherwise I'll have to watch the tape - but that's not as fun!

Everyone keeps on crapping on about the Roosters having a lot of 1st grade experience well Parra don't excatly have a bunch of no names

Reddy, Williams, Graham, Delaney, Lewis, Muckert, H.Perenara, O'Dwyrer, Storer, Afamasaga and Tsoulos who have all played 1st grade.

while Marcus Perenara was picked for the NZ Tri Nations Train on Sqaud last year despite not having played 1st grade

Jarryd Hayne has progressed from SG Ball to REggies this year and last year despite being only 15 played in the NSW Under 17's team where he scored 4 tries and he backed up this year with 1 try as a 16 year old.

Although the Roosters handlin errors let them down on the day, Parramatta were by far the better side. Congrats to the Eels, well played and well done.

Roosters had not been beaten by more than 12 points all season and exceeded this when it mattered most by giving a lot of ball to Parra. However were outplayed on the day when it counted.
