Napa does/will miss his target half the time resulting in penalties. How good are we when we've lost field position and are under the pump? There's only been 2 weeks this season where I felt like we didn't have the worst on line defence in the competition.

This is a real danger game for the Roosters.
The Bulldogs have shown against sides like the Storm & Sharks that they can beat teams they were expected to lose heavily too.
This will be a lot closer than many think.
Hope not, if we're going to lose I want Teddy and Latrell to towel us up and get those sweet SC points haha. But it"s entirely possible you guys take the foot off the gas and do enough to just win.

This is a reminder of when we played the Roosters in 2012 we never got out of second gear and we still beat them with ease. How times have changed, regardless of what anyone says the fact our management never adequately replaced Barba is why we are absolutely pathetic

Look at all the support on the Keating try, deadset we don't even have that much support the next play hahaha

Stranger things have happened (Cronulla game) but yeah, only the Roosters can beat themselves in this one.

Effort, Energy and Commitment need to be paramount otherwise it can get ugly and fast.

We won't win. I just want to see cannon ball tackles on rooster players in key positions. Maybe derail their finals campaign. * Evil*

The roosters had not been in good form for the past 5-6 weeks.
Granted it was the origin period, players missing, out of form etc etc.
After they belted the Knights (who are a much better team than us), one of the Roosters players said, "when we flick the swicth, this is what we can do".
This sort of commentary opens the door for complacency. You are basically admitting that when we are in trouble, we can turn it on whenever we want, therefore there is no need to be "up" in intensity.
The Roosters result on the weekend makes them only believe that even more.

The roosters belted us a few weeks ago WITHOUT many of there strike players. They will remember that. They also know they have those strike players back.

It is not easy at all being "up" all the time and players look for breaks or downtime throughout the season.
I have no doubt many of these players will be thinking they have to just turn up to win this weekend.

They know we got belted on the weekend. This is our only hope of getting close, the roosters have severe complacency and we turn up ready to scrap.

If i am wrong and the roosters turn up, then we will get clocked.

But the roosters result on the weekend isnt a good thing for them imo, it just makes it much easier for them to get complacement.
....I'm predicting a shock upset here.

Dogs by 8.

Maybe 24-16.

Up the dogs!!!

its a nothing game for the roosters, they will probably rest some players, and still beat us with second stringers

Well lets be fair they broke the cap by signing.

Maloney SBW and Jennings in one year. Our club's problem is when we lost Barba we used Sam Perrett to replace him and while our tenacity made us the GF in 2014 we were heavily outclassed
