No idea what to make of this game.

Roosters have been playing some good footy over the past month but they haven’t faced any top sides, granted that’s the pot calling the kettle black with our form against top eight teams this season.

Tedesco has found some form again and Walker is trying to establish himself as their long term halfback. We’ll need to best them via the middle, the big boys need to have a game like tonight (with less errors) if we want any chance of winning this.

Why the **** didn't we get the Sunday? Is it a broadcast thing with the Knights being a big fan base?

Roosters of a 8 day turn around against us off 6. Another year to add to the list.

Yeah given we finished higher than Canberra I would have thought we'd get the longer turnaround.

In saying that I think 6 days is sufficient.

I think I sat in the seating in front of the pb stand last time and I feel like it was around 70. Was pretty steep for the experience.
It'd ridiculous but it's what you get when playing a final at a venue that only holds 12k people. Most will disagree but I think it's crazy.

Yeah it's not the best experience, but if the coach/team think it will give them the biggest lift then I'm all for it.

Seriously though, am I cooked or am I right for saying if the sharks lost today they would play raiders next week ?

If I am wouldn't that be preferable ? Roosters are serious and scary again while the Raiders are just straight jobbers !

I know you cant throw the match lol, but maybe they should of rested players and took the cowards way out ?

What do you think ?

Would prefer versing Raiders over Roosters for sure but will be good to see if we can beat a good team at the right time of the year regardless

If we win and broncos manage to beat storm we’ll have another game down here in Melbourne. Hoping that’s the case.
