Roosters by 16 if we can hold our own in the middle. Our backline and bench are superior and they don't have a halfback.

 

I have made a bit of $$$$ this finals series and as much as it pains me to say it.....Melbourne will be winning against the Roosters. The absence of JWH leaves their middle exposed. As for the other final, Canberra will defeat Souths comfortably.

 

The Storm carrying Chambers on the bench seems like a waste, unless someone in the backline is carrying an injury I don't see why you would have him there.

 

I’m a Roosters fan but I can’t see them winning let alone by 16. The loss of JWH can be attributed to Robinson who thought it would be a good idea to bring Jared back into the game despite leading 30-0.
Another master stroke by the so called SuperCoach

 

So you were the other voice I heard screaming "NOOOOOOOO" when he put Jared back on? I just thought is was my echo.

The only good thing about him missing this game is he can't get suspended for the GF, unless he sits in the wrong seat at the SCG? He'd probably get a week for that.

 

The Storm are special$$$$$....

 

Reckon Chambers will drop off the bench for Stimson. Jahrome Hughes might get found out against a better defensive side like the Roosters .

 

Agree 100% with this.

Storm Raisers GF and I'm in two minds as to who will win it.

 

Raiders should beat the bunnies unless Bennet pulls one out of the hat, and given the storm do it all, and grind they should beat the rorters. Only problem is if rorters go hard, and get a quick start ..an pile in the points it will frustrate Melbourne..!!!

 

Great tackle on Surgess

 

Come on rabbits !!! Just because you all know I hate the raiders as much but more

Useless bunnies lol

 

Raiders attack is nothing without Hodgson .

 

Thats a nuance to the law I didn't know about. Because the souffs player had the intention of getting out of the ingoal, the grounding of the arm holding the ball didn't count. Raiders try

 

The referee said PLAY ON, BJ Lelua played the ball and play continued.
Yet a few weeks ago it was a penalty in the Sharks/Tigers game.
They make stuff up.

 

One of the refs called play on, the other called tackle. They then had an arm wrestle and the ref that said tackle won.

 

Corey Allen would have to go down as one of the biggest disappointments to play NRL. He played every single junior rep level possible at fullback and even played in the PM’s game in PNG. He has looked terrible in first grade.

 

Its only 6-0 but souffs look on the ropes

 

I hate the raiders so much I put $100 on the bunnies at 13+ haha just because.

 

What a strip!
