It's no surprise that the thread starter is a Gold Member.
Don't worry buddy, you're not alone; many like you in the 'special' section.

We dumb it down out here for the 'non special' people who aren't priveliged enough to be a part of the wonderland that is the 'Gold Section'...

Souffs are gone imo. S Burgess out for two weeks.

Replace souths with the bulldogs as genuine chances. The dogs are hitting form at the right time and have Barba to return to be at full strength. Comp starts again at finals time...

How time can change things. Dogs are nowheresville.

Everything is looking good, the coach has them focused one week at a time, that's all they need to plan for.

Robbo Taylor and fitzy have their fingers on the pulse... Hope Taylor, Fitzy and Robbo stick together for a while..

One at a time Trew...one at a time.

weve finally got an organised footy club to be very proud of!

Hindsight will tell us if we have peaked too soon but you should never prepare a team to lose for that reason. Teams have "memories". What I mean is, when you run out of juice in a semi-final and you are scambling to stay in the game, a winning "memory" can be the difference. Robinson has no option but to prepare the strongest team every week. My mates are asking me what I think Robinson will do in the last round against Souths. A loss to Souths could mean an "easier" semi the following week. I never answer. What a great position to be in if that were to be the case. Robbo's call.

Picture this phrase whichever way you wish.

Add Paul Green to that list, this bloke is becoming a very good coach and is already being mentioned at NRL level.

Fitzy will never leave. He bleeds blue cells along with normal red and white ones.

Robbo and those heads know what they're doing.

I think we'll improve as we get to the finals and do Souffs in a thriller in round 26.

Go Easts.

Chook.

Clearly some divided opinions.

Not surprising.

I will say this about the chicken little theory.

Since I was a boy, one premiership in 30 odd years.
In those 30 years, the roosters were often favourites to win comps prior to kick offs.
As Bansai eluded, a loss to souffs would be horrendous.

[roosterproud]

just remember souff$ will be at full strength leading up to round 26. their goal will be to beat us , being minor premiers, and send a message to everyone else.

a fully fit and turned on roosters will be anyone. injuries leading up to the finals will crucify us.

melb are the only threat I believe

I go back to first principles every time.
Souffs do one thing more than us consistently.

Leak points.

I maintain the team with the best defense will win the comp.
