Roosters vs Dogs Grandfinal!

its a little early actually a weel early to predict this but in my mind cowboyz will fail to win. the panthers will be under alot of pressure cause they are defending the title and the week off they got wont help because the dogs steamrolled storm, with respect was a favourite to make it againts the panthers.

roosters vs cowboyz
-----------------------------

sing, bowen and williams they are both very small but so quick on thier feet.

cowboiz are defending great so far, but honestly i hate to say this and this might be the only time. roosters will hammer them. with all respects to the cowboiz right now thier confidence is gone threw the roof. and IMO roosters will easily end it. just take a look at the warriors 2 years ago they made it to the grand final with the same attuide as the cowboiz have yet failed when it mattered most. but then again take a look back at panthers, but if u state out the facts ull see roosters are like terminators and i can only see panthers or the dogs knocking them off. but if the cowboiz do it then it would be one of the best performances ever! theyve beaten 3,2 teams on the ladder and if they beat the roosters watch out but in my opionin roosters are just going to carve holes in them with players like wing, fittler, finch, cross.


panthers and the dogs
------------------------------

all i need to say is panthers week off is very bad for them. and they dogs just humilated the storm 2 year straight and the storm whooped the panthers a$$ this year.

to beat the dogs u need to be quick, very quick. u need a good kicker(gower), u need huge forwards and u need bench players that make a huge impact.

that team of ryan, tonga and utai are just tearing defences to shreds and we all know camble and roberts are pne of the worst defenders in the league. and if tonga runs at them ur gonna see a replica of rd 21.

IMO dun be suprised if lolesi and thurston make the team! on the bench. thurston reaks havoc in the ruck area. he is quick, has mobility can make defenders tired.

bottom line is if ryan, tonga and utai use roberts and campbell to thier advantage,if thurston makes the team and does wat he does best and if the forwards keep hammering away at the defence and set 2nd phase play for the dogs lethal runners then the dogs will no sweat win it.

Penrith will have liked having the week off with some players having niggling injuries etc. Melbourne's form gradually waned after that 66-14 result.

And the Dogs will win it. I have a huge feeling that Bulldofs was a blessing as it has made them concentrate harder. Bulldogs to win ROOSTERS TO CHOKE :lol:

I hope it isnt.. It would be a huge anti climax. And considering they are the 2 most hated teams in the comp it wouldnt suprise me if they get the worst ratings ever for a grand final telecast.

Now if it is Roosters V panthers again or Cowboys Vs Dogs or Cowboys vs Panthers that will be a larger drawcard than the 2 top teams of the season as everyone will tune in hoping either the dogs or roosters lose.

the two most hated teams in the NRL playing each other in a grand final, who'd wanna see that.

i want to be able to cheer for somebody, rather than sit thru the game trying to figure out who i hate less.

Agreed :clap:

It's been the most thrown about possible grandfinal scenario in the past 3-4 years.

The GF that could've been.

I couldn't care less if that was this years grand final. Perhaps it would bring the best football, but due to lack of interest i'll probably watch the sunday night movie instead.

Most anticipated Grand final for roosters and dogs fans maybe.. But not any other fan.. I bet most fans would rather see the cowboys or panthers in the mix somewhere.

Atleast last year we could all cheer for the panthers.. Atleast the year before we could all cheer for the warriors...

This year people will be forced to cheer on a team they hate if the dogs and roosters make it. Other fans will probably watch it in the hope that they smash teh crap out of eachother.

When Melbourne Flogged us was in the middle of SOO, and with no depth because everyone bought it, what did u expect.

It was a shalacking, but we also beat the Dogs without Gower, Presto and Girds. so, think of that wat u will

We also got hammered by them without our forwards playing.

So i wouldn't be so sure of a win if i was a bulldogs supporter, it'll be tougher than you think.

So you aren't a rugby league fan then.

As a Cowboys fan, I still think the most exciting grand final match up this year would be the Bulldogs vs. the Roosters. A lot of people seem to be living week by week and forgetting that these two sides have competed neck and neck for pretty much the whole year. The Broncos, Panthers and Dragons took the next three spots on the table but none of those sides have quite attained - at any stage - the aura of invincibility that the top two sides have enjoyed from time to time during the year.

I think it would be a massive game.
