The Roosters are defensively retarded. Their only good tacklers are Anasta, Symonds and Ryles and those three are the ones who concede their most penalties in defense. We need to just play them with all out attack and we'll beat them 50-16 or something. Give them no quarter. They are always gonna score a couple of tries by running Frank Paul or SKD at Lui or getting into the backfield and spreading it and catching Ryan, Ayshford or Brown on the back foot, but they should have nowhere near as many points in them as we do.
If I were in charge, the gameplan would be, start the game playing conservatively. Complete your sets and kick deep (or dead even). If we control possession and field position early, they will crack early. If we get to beyond a converted try ahead at any stage, put the pedal down and attack them with everything. Hail Mary's all over the place. Revert to option 1 if they get back to within a converted try, rinse and repeat. Their strike players are covered for the most part, except for having Lui defending against SKD and FPN which means Lui needs boatloads of cover. Across the rest of the field we have no matchups where their offense is better than our defenders. On the flipside, we have them covered across most of the park (except for on the wings).
