Roosters
Broncos (just in case)
Sharks
Raiders
Manly
Knights
Bulldogs
Panthers
 
Luke free to play against Roosters.
 
Poor scheduling from the NRL IMO

The Roosters V Rabbitohs is the oldest and one of the most intense rivalries in the game and to play it on a worknight is ordinary. Playing it on a Friday or Saturday would've been a far better decision.
 
After hearing about the retirement of Tate, I'm changing my tip to Cowboys.
 
Ballin likely out for the season. Fractured fibula.

Hodges takes over as hooker.

Ballin and Friend both out for the season? Someone really wants Souffs to win.
 
I can just see it being Souths and Roosters in the final.

The ultimate no-win scenario. Actually there's a lot of them this year.

Support in descending order:
Broncos
Bulldogs
Cowboys
Panthers
Manly
Draw
Cancelled
NRL goes bankrupt
Melbourne
Roosters
Souths

Warriors to slot in at #3 if they make it.

WTF, what's wrong with you? :shocked:

Haha, yeah... Having family support those teams changes a man....

My wife and her whole family are massive dogs fans. I always had a grudging respect for them in the 90s, they were a hard hitting team.
I hate some of the players, Reynolds, Hodgkinson, but I still love Mick Ennis from his Bronco days, and the Morris boy seems like a nice guy.

Manly should probably go on the other side of the bankruptcy line. But I'd prefer them to the others listed there.

I really can't stand the cowboys or their fans. They'll be unbearable if they ever win something. But, it's nice to see Queensland teams do well.

I hate those Storm players.
 
My list is simple.....

Broncos
Cowboys
Bunnies (Dad's a massive fan)


...fairly confident the Bunnies will be there, depending where they end up and who they end up playing in the semis of course.

Doesn't channel Nein decide who plays when ??
 
Good luck to Jackson Hastings who is making his debut tonight. A Roosters win tonight would be sweeter than a strawberry Fredo
 
A lot of empty seats tonight..

Whoever scheduled this game needs to be sacked. Put this on a Friday or Sunday afternoon, it's a sellout easy.

Incompetent..
 
Hate both teams, and hope both go no where near the GF this year.
 
Took the ref a long time to blow that penalty...
 
Everything about that says no try but hard to not give it if that makes sense.
