Roosters Side

I think our team will change before the match, especially the bench. Roosters last week played a great tactic against the big souths pack, early dummy half running and then spreading it wide. Can't see those tactics working against our team that is much more mobile than souths. I thinks we are far too strong in the back 5(even if Ryan is out) and our centres could have a field day against the chooks. Our forwards will match them and in Marshall, Farrah and Moltzen we have too many playmakers for them to contain for the 80 minutes.

It will be tougher than a lot of people think as Brian Smith will have come up with a game plan that will test us but in the end I think (and hope) we will be too good. I predict an 8-12 point win for us.
 
That Roosters side has some similarities to the Knights side. They will play with heart and should not be under-estimated. I would attack Shaun Kenny-Dowell inside shoulder. He likes the intercept at centre and general rushing up so the flat runner inside his shoulder should have acres of room. Mini was exposed coming in as well so kicks in behind or over should reward points.

Carney is very dangerous at the back floating around and he will hurt us, hopefully not as bad as he did Souths.
 
Sick Gibbsy onto Ryles and be ready for a laugh.

Our backline is several levels superior to their's.

I expect a clear victory - the one sobering question is: Have we ever beaten a side with Todd Carney in it?
 
roosters have alot of players with good attacking abilities.
so do wests-tigers.
the forward's pack will be difference in this one.
control Pearce & Carney, play up and in their face and this will go along way to getting them frustrated and put them off their game.
As mentioned earlier Jason Ryles is easy to " stir up" expect some niggle from wests-tigers pack.
