Round Five, 2020. NON Manly games.

[Chip and Chase]

We got lucky picking them up early in the season. If we had to play them now, given both sides relative form, they would put 20 or 30 on us.

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

They might, yet they could only beat the Dogs 7 tries to one, which is the same as we did.

Quite right that Chooks are far more cohesive and imposing that Manly is, but personally I won't be surprised if they become a bit tired mentally late in the year. I don't think there'll be any three-peat.

They smashed Broncs last week and we just scraped home against them

If they pull off a 3 peat then they are one of the greatest sides ever - I don't think they will either. They are red hot at the moment against weak opposition. I'll be interested to see how they go against Parra, their pack are a bit more imposing than the Doggies

Their real test will be when Keary inevitably gets injured and Flanagan is exposed. He is their weak link.

.Jeez, Lewis is a dud.

Such a park footy player. Only his name gets him game time.

In other news: How good is Tedesco?

Teddy is very good, no doubt, but I'd still prefer Turbo. At least Tom is a good defender.

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Be a good side that beats the Roosters at the pointy end of this comp. It’s like a wave of red and blue every play ... unfortunately

Yeah they miss Cronk don’t they ....lol

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

So it appears that the Rorters are again the team to beat , a 3 peat god ****ing help us!!!

Guy scored 194 in super coach.. wow!

 

[The Who]

Yeah they miss Cronk don’t they ....lol

.... and Latrine.

 

[susan]

He’s a great coach. Went away after the break and developed a perfect game plan for the new rules. No ****ing block plays and all the forwards pushing through the middle in waves. Look at the ordinary teams ... almost all of them are full of players that don’t understand that even if you don’t carry the ball you have a role to play. You rarely see a rooster forward without an option left or right . And those Morris boys are just class acts. Pure footballers who know where to be and when. Tough to beat for sure.But as SE8 says... it’s a funny game .. injuries , suspensions .. who knows.

 

[StuBoot]

Roosters are definitely going to be hard to beat.

we are just not as clinical as they are at finishing teams off.

parra won’t know what hit them come Saturday.

think roosters vs ( storm, raiders , Souths manly) GF this year

parra still not convinced by them.

So...apart from goalkicking in our 7 tries to 1 win over the Dogs compared to the Roosters 7 tries to 1 win over the Dogs was there much difference?

No difference at all I agree with you on that.

I was thinking the same.

Tommy is a class fullback who would've been a walk up starter at 1 for NSW and Australia.
Only one problem....Tedesco....absolute freak.
That pass he threw to Morris was unbelievable.

He scored 199 in super coach.. guys a machine

I reversed the trade ... was literally going to bring him in and captain him ... then decided against using the trade as I had too many no playing reserves on the bench. Oops.

Agree about Robinson being an excellent coach, he's just as obsessed as Bellamy but a little more eloquent.
As for the Roosters looking so dominant, they sure do, 100%, but no more so than St George in 2011 for example, when they looked unbeatable and one bookmaker even paid out on them being minor premiers before the halfway point of the season.
We know how that one finished 😉
