Official Match Day Thread: Roosters v Bulldogs

[Billy Gunn]

Im tipping the Chooks but who knows, its a 50/50 game.

50% we win 1-12 & 50% 13+

Go Easts !!

[Superdag]

I think the berries will throw the ball wide if going on past games this year where the Chooks we'll try to spilt them up the middle,can see it coming down to Burtons kicking game.

[bondi.boy]

This game will be a serious test for all our backs and second rowers in particular

[Steggles]

Tough game, however we can win it if we play fast and aggressive in defence and put away the low percentage attacking plays. Win the middle, win the game.

[Bates]

Let's go roosters!

[mattyh]

I'm thinking dogs maybe 55 45 at a neutral ground .

dogs 60 / 40 at home .

we are off the bye...dogs a few out ...dogs 55 / 45 ...go chooks

[Mickie Lane]

I don't see any value in combined teams other than a bit of fun. You're not comparing the sum of the parts, rather you are just isolating individual player contests which is not how the game is played.

R6 I think its a 50/50 game you dont.
We'll see what happens tonight.

[Bansai Pipeline]

This will be telling as to whether we mean business this year or not.

im hopeful for an upset.

but part of me is worried our bye came when we were just starting to gel.

but wtf knows

go easts!

This is not a 50/50 game, this is a very tough game against the top of the table. Good reason why the Dogs are strong favourites with the bookies tonight.

go chooks ...no prediction , up against a good team tonight .

[ARD]

You’d bet this will be close and competitive and we need to hold our nerve, be patient and ice the limited opportunities when they come. We haven’t shown that as consistently as them - hopefully tonight we turn that corner.

In any case; bye behind us and we get to watch Roosters footy. Last week felt empty.

[Carlos Parra]

I'm worried that the Chooks won't even be the first team to put points on the board tonight.
