I’m confident, not sure why , but I am

I hope you're right MFB but I just can't have that same confidence.

If we're being fair dinkum, we shouldn't have won last week but we managed to pull it out somehow. For me, the stage we've reached is a pass mark on the season.

If we let the Chooks get out by 10 or 12, it'll be over unlike last week. Let's hope that my tipping is notoriously bad.....which it is. @:D

As you all know I don't rate the Roosters at all.

They have massive issues right across park, including 3 or 4 blokes who simply don't want to be there.

Their biggest weakness, as we all know, is their kicking game. A 12 year old can kick further than Keary.

Hoping both JWH and Radley play, that will be 5 penalties we get and 5 restarts.

Teddy is the danger, wrap him up and win.

They might beat us but I just don't rate them.
Still don't rate them Bob ? I had a sneaking suspicion it may end this way for us. Roosters you may not rate highly, but on that performance where do you rate us ?

Nope they barely deserve to have made the 8 imo.

Tthey failed to win the big moments at every showing vs a top 8 sides all season, except Manly. In fact there best win of the season was the 34-30 win over us in round 21, before tonights nightmare.

They have as many "spuds" in their line up as us - a fully fit Turbo (well as close as we get these days) and without the starting disaster we could match them.

They have the same hope of winning the comp in 2024 as Manly. None.

Calling on a fit Turbo is really reaching into lala land of ferries and make believe.

Sorry mate, respect your opinion, but your obvious distain for that club is blinding you to the footballing facts. They are a tier 2 side along with Cronulla, but just below Penrith & Storm. We are a middle tier team @ best, striving for improvement, along with all the other also rans. I'm always hoping for better however. I'm an optimist.

Now tell me again about my distain for that club, who I cheered for ( because they were NRL) Saturday night, is my blinding football facts.

Agree Sharks a second tier side but not with Roosters in my opinion. Roosters are just like us, so far off the pace it isn't funny and no light on the horizon. Teams like, Dogs, Knights, Bunnies and even Tigers are better placed than us - at least they have a plan.

Roosters, Manly, Dragons, Eels etc will all just line up next year and hope for the best.
