It's hard to believe the betting in this match. At best we're a $4 hope.

I seriously don't see us getting close here. We'll definitely come out firing, but that will only last somewhere between 8 and 17 minutes, at which time it will all just become too hard for all concerned and we will fall into an absolute heap and do f**k all after that.

We're as cooked as 6 hour roasted veggies, it's just deck chair shuffling really. The coach has got the GPS on, but the satellites have been knocked out and that dressing room has been lost just like his hair.

The Roosters will target us behind the play the ball from the outset and our middles in defence will have more in common with Swiss cheese than NRL footballers by the end of the game.

After our middles are destroyed our edges will wish they could just play NSW Cup where they all actually belong.

Our defence will be lacklustre and lazy, and lack the level of communication and coordination needed to even be competitive.

Our attack will be predictable and pedestrian, and we'll be lucky to even look like making a line break.

Our back 5 will provide f**k all metres and our lack of an adequate kicking game will have the Roosters in our half most of the game.

The majority of our players will just simply embarrass themselves tonight.

I wish I was wrong, but we're no chance. None, Nada, Nil.

It's up to the senior players to lift and prove me wrong.

 

[Gazzamatta]

I reckon we will lose by 12 this week and by 20 next week.

Hey, I could be wrong and usually am.

Bookmarked. (Just the second paragraph)

 

[Gazzamatta]

like to at least finish above the *chooks

I see us kicking off and driving the brave chooks backwards in the very first tackle. Unfortunately that will be the one and only. We will defend well the rest of that first set. Our line speed will be great. We will put pressure on the kicker.
Semi will take the first hit up half assed and get put on his back. Paulo will take a hit up one out turning sideways as he hits the D thus negating any leg drive. Run front on Barlow ffs! Reg will go his hardest but also one out.
Our enthusiasm generally lasts a few sets now days then we weaken. Hopefully our final game at Bankwest will motivate them to go hard and often.
Disappointed I wont be there but hopefully ill be home in time to watch Kayo. In the mean time Ill find someone else to live vicariously through given my not so exciting existence.
Go Parra! And go The 2s as well.

I hate watching our games with any person who doesn't want us to win let alone fans of the opposition.

I'm the most unsociable person whilst we're playing...

Well we have a 3 blokes playing tonight who owe the team a fair bit for getting rubbed out for suspension.

I suppose you never know our record at home is pretty good.

Just want effort and not roll over.

I was like that when I was 12

Yeah I will be there tonight jetlagged and all having missed the last 3 home games.

Last home game I feel it's going to be a long off season. We're only midway through August and the season is basically over.

 

[Gronk]

Teddy to have a day out, unless we shut down those sneaky second phase and no look passes to him.

Yes, this is my Teddy gif.

He has to keep his feet first.

Commbank can be slippery at night and we know Teddy loves to duck his head into the opposition shoulder.

I have no shame in saying I have NFI and I do regularly. If I did, I'd make a fortune in those tipping comps and sportsbet thingys and prolly do that whisperer merkin out of a gig.

As long as we try that’s the main thing.

So much to look forward to!! I might make it 12 whiskies tonight!!

 

[Legal Eel]

Yep I can see them going in dry against us tonight. Oh well can’t help bad luck.

I was about to call you paranoid but then I checked the refs…yep, Klein in the middle and Atkins in the box - they are not even remotely trying to hide their intentions

Grant Atkins has screwed us twice this year I am sure he has enough room to make it 3 times

it's time for his old man to stop reminding him about the time he scored the match turning try that got us to the lead in 81.

Greeting from San Diego. I’ll be in bed asleep. Wake me when it’s over.
