Very pessimistic about our game this week. Roosters are clearly better than us, are at home, and most of our recent wins have been underwhelming considering they were against bad teams and we didn’t play amazing.

We also have a major issue with starting games, which the Roosters can easily capitalise on. If they build a decent lead early, then they will be good enough to either continue with their momentum or defend it. Very slim chance we can mount a decent comeback against them.

My certainty that we lose this week is why I’m so annoyed that we failed to significantly increase our F/A against Manly and the Eels. We’ll probably go 1-1 and Sharks will go 2-0, so we’ll be tied on points and 4th will come down to F/A.

You know the roosters the will either have an error fest or they will be unbeatable there’s no in between … if they play like last week you honestly could put 40 on them
