Shame they let up at half but it’s hard to go full throttle against no threat, it’s like when you ever got into a fight as a kid and the other kid just started cowering and crying in the corner you didn’t keep laying in the boot.

They turn up the way they did first half they beat anyone, was a different class of team. Will be Storm Roosters GF again.

Tell you what, Cook will be battling Sam Verrills for that Blues jersey in the not too distant future.. I thought the kid was one of the best on the park

Every other team goes through phases when they are top 4 and premiership contenders. Roosters and Storm don't do that. With no cap they've been able to stay at the top year after year.

Manly was the only other team to challenge their dominance from 2007 until 2013. Keep in mind Manly back ended contracts during that period to remain competitive. Also Manly never signed Cronk and Tedesco in one off season. They never signed O'Donnell, SBW and Maloney either.
Yep...it just highlights how ineffectual the Salary cap ha become in creating an even competition. It will be another Storm v Roosters GF this year and TBH I don't think I will even bother watching as the game holds no interest for me. And I can't see anything changing next year either. What happened to South's last night isn't a one off.....that could have been just about any side in the comp bar Melbourne. The roosters and Storm are on a different level to everyone else....when they are on song they make every other side look reggies standard. The NRL have allowed people like Politis to basically control the game for his own selfish ends and this is the result.

What team can match that?
Somebody has to put on a fight and ruffle their feathers.

Anyone but the Roosters. Fuck, I'll even cheer the Storm if they meet again.

Just can't stand how they can buy anyone and everyone they like. Or how they can win a comp and not lose good players.

Man I'm bitter lol

Makes you sick watching this. They think they are so cool but the Rorters are playing other teams with a real unfair sc/tpa/brown paper bag disadvantage.

Any team with that many reps should be winning and easily go near on undefeated. Coach says he's disappointed they didnt win by 50. Hey Robinson see if you are good enough to coach any other team bar Storm and get those results!?

They need to do another shampoo or lost soap advert by the looks of it. Hate 'em.

I hear you man.. The NRL need to sort it out... I mean I enjoyed watching Souffs get pumped last night don't get me wrong, but even they are fielding a team that's not even close to the calibre of what the Roosters have been able to put together under the sombrero.

The only time I can remeber a team in the last 20 years having internationals or former internationals in nearly every position, was the Storm....And we know what they were up to.

The Roosters even have a STARTING INTERNATIONAL winger not even picked, just lol.

Edit: My mistake Hall isn't a starting winger anymore.

So wtf do the raiders do about this fireworks bullshit? I’d be furious as fuck as this is a fault of the ground/NRL to be 1 player down
