Will the Roosters get a three-peat?

[Wily Ole Dog]

Could you at least try to hide your excitement about a young player that has suffered a serious injury?

Oh dear, can you try and hide your paranoia?


Oh, and your bitchiness

Please. I almost caught an sti just from reading your post.

A backline of Teddy, Toops, BMoz, Manu, Hall is still fantastic. 4 current internationals and former 1 former international. Lol@souffs for thinking an injury to a 2 game rookie has ended our season

 

[myrrh ken]

Yep. Basically the same club at this point

This. No one else gives a shit about the easts souths rivalry. The only thing we bother to hate about them is how much the press and channel nein wank over them.

No

It's like raaaaaaiiiiiinnnn

Will be lucky to make the 8

Agree , is there a market for Roosters to miss the 8 for 2020?
If the odds are in line with Roosters expectations , then it may be a reasonable bet

 

[Galeforce]

Based on history no. Losing Mitchell and Cronk will hurt. The have decent depth so they will compete but teams like Canberra will be very hungry.

I think Canberra , may be hungry, however they are NO chance for 2020. I think teams losing grand finals need a year to recover .

Since 1990 (year salary cap was introduced):
6 GF losers have backed up to win the following year.
2 GF losers have backed up to make the GF again- but lost again.

So it's regular enough for teams to back up pretty quick. Bloody hard but 8 out of 30 or so isn't the kind of figure to be daunting anyone.

ladbrokes have a market for that they are only $8 to miss 8

Roosters offered Doueihi a 1 year deal last night

That's true.

Worth noting though that only 4 runners up have won the following year in the NRL era, 3 of which were storm in 07, 09 and 17. We all know the first two have been stripped. The other was manly in 08.

4 times in the NRL era 20 years has a losing GF come back to win or make the GF again..., 20% of all NRL era GF's...

Considering it is a feat that takes 2 years to cook, I still say its bloody hard, not exactly frequent but regular enough.

Go Green!

Old man Morris will be in the centres........season slipping away with that news

Old man Morris was one of the best on ground in the Grand Final last year.

 

[Captain Apollo]

Old man Morris was one of the best on ground in the Grand Final last year.

As was Jared Warea-Hargreaves, the man who many felt should have won the Clive Churchill Medal.
