2018 Grand Final Melbourne v Roosters

Any Roosters player stupid enough to think its open season on the shoulder charge will be in for a shock

People can hate Slater all they want the shoulder charge rule still applies. Run up and hit a guy with your shoulder without using your hands and you will be punished. Simples.
 
The closer we get to the game the more I want the Roosters to win, just can’t take Melbourne. When Smith, Slater and Bellamy leave the stain of their cheating period may be lifted.
 
Really must say I couldn't care less. I'm actually keen to watch the early games, especially the women's.

Probably watch a movie. I bet their ratings suffer.

Ratings will be down a little but they will still be strong. Most people will watch any one as that’s what they do every year.

Hate both of them, but leaning towards Melbourne only because we win twice this year with them. Wests will look better this way. :roll

I'm not fussy, it doesn't have to be Napa. Radley, JWH, Ferguson or Mitchell will do. As long as one of them make his final game a nightmare he will regret…...or better still not remember :laughing:

Yep. Gotta catch him first.

Bill likes to lay on the ground a lot, should be an easy target for a pair of dropped knees into his back.
The high ball he took last week uncontested with no player within cooee yet he still dropped to the ground immediately and refused to get up out of fear that the Sharks players would be super keen to give him a mauling. It was embarrassing TBH.
Hopefully his cat-like tendencies will be on full display tomorrow.

You've been begging for him to be maimed for years, and he never has been. He'll retire in perfect health. I know it and so do you.
 
The post match Billy/Cameron love fest will make me completely nauseous, but I just cannot bring myself to barrack for a team that can continually lure every marquee player in the comp (without question) in order to set itself up to buy a Premiership!

The Roosters represent everything that is wrong with the game and with society in general. If I was one of their supporters I'd be embarrassed at the way they have ruthlessly gone about amassing the top players from other clubs, year after year, to form a team of superstars while many other clubs are made to struggle with the leftovers.

It will be pure justice if Cronk is unable to play tomorrow after being lured from possible retirement to be the 'one player' to finally get this unscrupulous mob over the line. I will be very happy to see them fall short of the Premiership once again.

I don't particularly like Melbourne either, but I admire the way they go about their business building an amazingly strong and competitive team, year after year, made up of good, yet not particularly 'great' players (bar Smith, Slater & Munster of course) who do their job as a unit every single week. They don't need to go out and buy the best players on the market from other clubs every season in order to win a Premiership, they build and promote from within turning average/good players into a great team in the process. It's all on Bellamy - best ever coach in the game, bar none.

Agree

Go storm

Roosters survive on money alone
 
With two of my most hated teams playing, I have been trying to think of a scenario I would like to see without wishing any harm to the players. But I cannot think of one!
 
Melbourne develop their players whilst Rooster buy their players.

Storm will be too strong across the park.

Storm have players like Smith, Slater and Munster who know how to win the big moments during a game.

Any other Coach would have Ryan Hoffman play the Grand Final but not Bellamy who is only interested in picking the best 17 to win the game, That makes him a great coach.

I’m hoping for Melbourne to smash the Roosters. But regardless of who wins I’m hoping for a salary cap scandal that will result in them losing the premiership.

Probably won’t happen but let’s hope so anyway.

It was nauseating walking around Parramatta yesterday and seeing all these people going around in the Roosters jerseys

I bet their jerseys still had price tags on them!
 
Travelling two hours each way to my brothers house to watch a game I don’t want to watch featuring two teams I despise. Life doesn’t get any better!
