Thought I'd start this thread.
I'll start by saying I'm 90% sure we'll win this week. Too much hype around the Roosters and everyone underestimating our side.
I know they look bloody good and they touched us up last time but I think no JWH and Pearce will tell on them this game.
I guess Ferguson v Mann the biggest worry but im confident Mann can handle him.
If the refs can do a fair job we'll win. Super confident.
Big call but this is the finals series that Jordy and NAS stamp their mark.
Can't wait. Can someone tell me where the storm fans sit since I'm going to this one.

Duffie VS Topou is a mouthwatering match up for a spectator. Could be some high flying

True. Sadly though Kenny Dowell and Ferguson will outleap Mann and Koro all day so that's where the kick action will be.

Rooseters have won 12 in a row by an average of 16pts per game. Surely that means they're due for a stumble?

Went to training today Dale Finucane played with the main on side. He was swapping with Kenny and Welch. Dale and Kenny spent more time with the main side than Welch, his wrist was strapped, but I did see him catch the ball a couple of times. If Dale plays, I think Welch is out. Smith was no there. Half way through training Cronk twisted his knee and had it looked at. He trained and run again but spent a bit of time resting. It would be nice to win, because a week off would do the players a world of good.

Absolutely hyped for this. I genuinely believe we can knock the Roosters off. Our defense has come together and is rock solid now. Still a little worried about Duffman but other than that if we catch our bombs and start the game with energy we're going to shock a lot of people.

Giddy up ladies and gentlemen. Finals footy is here!
