Official Match Thread - Grand Final Edition - Sydney Roosters vs Melbourne Storm

[Darkone]

Does anyone on here with real insider knowledge have any idea on the true extent of Cronk's injury?

I know a couple of you knew in advance that Momiovski would be playing last week, and so I was wondering if again you were in the know considering Coops?

Cocky bastards Melbourne,nothing will be better and wipe the smile off Cam Shiite and Billy Slutsie..and win by 30 .Latrells my boy today.Friend will get CC

We know if Friend has a great game we win

[fletch]

must say its pretty impressive from the club that 3.5hrs out from the GF no one outside the team can definitively say whether Cronk will play or not.

[The Axe]

Yes fletch.

I laughed at media for having a go at us for us for not being transparent. How would one describe souffs over burgearse incident?

[busted chook]

Calmly excited here. For a team that continuely cops it for rorting the salary cap, a team that was tipped as clear favorites at the start of the year we are getting written off way to easily. They are telling us we dont have enough points, yet we scored 3 tries to nil last weekend with arguably our most potent attacking weapon on the sideline combine that with the 4 tries in the first week.

I think that the 3 and 4th tackle will be so important tonight our forwards finding their fronts and building off that no matter what part of the field we are in. Really need cords to do his thing as well as our big backs.

Watching the storm defence i think we should be aiming between kafusi and croft. Kafusi tends to turn in and watch the ball player leaving croft by himself and i cant see chambers leaving latrell unmarked in case he is shown up. Teddy working the short side off a quick play the ball or sweeping and going himself instead of going out the back.

Work over croft when he is defending and put pressure on him when he is attacking make him feel like nothing is working and i think he will fold and mistakes will come.

go the chooks
