Tough game coming up today... IMO the Sharks got silly last week and rested Gallen/Maloney for most of the game. This allowed us to score some easy tries and look semi-competitive.
Other teams (e.g. the Cowboys) are starting to hit their straps leading into the final. I suspect the Storm will too. The bookies are paying roughly $4 for us to win and I think that's about right.
All season we've failed to finish teams off. I think the best we can hope for is to stick with these guys and give them a run for their money. However we are due a bloody upset victory after so many 'close but no cigar' performances.
Expect the Storm to be clinical and the Roosters to throw everything at them, but struggle to get the required percentage of completions due to stupid errors and penalties. Melbourne know how to get the job done, but Smith/Grong are starting to become old and arrogant. I hope that some of our youngsters (that's you Connor, Latrell and Ryan) can teach them a few cheeky new moves, and take advantage of their superior speed/physicality.
All Gronk/Smith offer is 2 confident, experienced and steady sets of hands. They play clinical footy... which wins games. However, we have (arguably) a forward pack that can match theirs, and some cheeky youngsters in our spine. It'll be a good test for us!
Bullwogs just lost 36-0 when playing the Cows minus JT. I reckon we can do better than that.
