Finals Week 1 vs Roosters

[blazza18]

If we can score more points than them I think we're a chance. That being said, If we don't, we are next to no chance at all.

I wouldn't be surprised if storm rested Cam and Cooper ... Just a feeling I'm getting

Most laughable post I think I have read on here for a while...

That'll just about do me... it's finals... players don't get rested!! If they're injured that's one thing... but rested is no chance. We're playing for a week off and a home prelim...

Agree Stormer. Had to log out and log back in to make sure I was reading it correctly.

I am 100% confident my Champion Team will do us proud. They will be on for this game and they have had more than a 5 day turnaround ( which I think the nrl will look at next season)

that bench looks about right. Need size to mix it with those big chooks forwards. I'd question if Welch was ready yet though.

Dale back would be a huge in...

The guy broke his wrist! How's it going to happen? Unless the club has just been playing possum with the rest of the league.

It was dislocation of the wrist. It had to be back in place surgically which a bit longer healing time than a simple dislocation. According to CB today, Dale saw the specialist and he would like him to have another week to heal, but the club doctors are happy an think he could came back this week. The club is going to wait and see.

I'd say Dale's in. Good addition and we're alot better for it.

When Dale did the injury and had successful surgery a day or to later, Frank Ponissi at the time said if we made the 8 then the club was confident he'd be available for finals selection so it's not really a stretch to believe that he might be available. I reckon he'll play.

[KingHoweofIsrael]

Probably stating the obvious. ... but I'd love him back - just not at the expense of him making it worse. I'm sure he'd have to have some contact sessions first

[Danger D]

I'm pretty sure Cam was battling a virus this week which is why he wouldn't have trained. Maybe that's why some people think the club are thinking of not playing him? Hinchy went to the launch of the finals (with all the other top 8 team captains) in his place. I hope the rest does him some good and he bounces back all the better for it.

Finucane has traveled with the team so looks like a moral to play. Great news.
