Dumb as dog shit last week in the first half just hitting the ball up.
We should have some self belief this week that we can hobble Easts, but we will need a better first half as they have are more disciplined side, hopefully we scramble for the 80.

I'm pretty confident we can win. Also consider if we hadn't let that last minute try in vs Penrith we would be on top of the table right now
I agree, from what I have been seeing from the chooks, they don't seem to be really setting the world on fire,
There is no reason to think on current form we can't win,
So I am going with the dogs by 8 points

I was surprised by how many metres Finucane is averaging a game. I wouldn't have thought he was running for 125+ metres at all. Good luck to Eastwood getting his starting spot back.

All fans should buy water and spray it up in the air to stimulate rain.

I'm surprised by that stat as well. Has he notched up that many in all 4 games?

Defensively they are hard to break down, they back their defense and are not scared to give away a penalty because of this..

Very tough side, and if we manage to get a win, It may change opinions on how far we can go

When playing a decent side, the roosters are like the storm and souths, they are strong when leading a game but panic and play stupid when trailing.

To sum up, we got to hit the lead asap.

We need a start same as the one last year against manly at brooky! But hopefully doesn't end up in the same finish.

Let's all hope it rains HEAVY SO WE CAN WIN LOL!! Btw, the team needs to grind in with the fowards and our halves need to be perfect on Friday night.. For our backs they need to be 100% on their game! Cause you got players like tuivasa sheck and and Anthony tupo who are tall and fast!! Especially in attack if James maloney or Mitchell Pearce kicks in the air to the wingers..

I don't know if it's accurate or not. According to NRL.com he ran 119 v Broncos, 121 vs Sharks, 94 vs Broncos & 166 vs Storm

That's impressive.

Again, it does surprise me. He always runs hard with plenty of pace, but I always thought he got pulled up pretty quickly when he hit the defensive line, as opposed to someone like Klemmer, who seems to walk through the line with defenders hanging off of him.
