We look good. We have had a rest and I know we don't return real well after a week of but the boys have learned the hard way, in 2009, what finals footy is about. If we can shut down Carney and Pearce's kicking game around the halves we can win the game, no problems. Another area where the Roosters play well is there ball movement across field. They can get the ball from one side of the field to the other very quickly so if Toops and Matty and Steve Michaels are caught napping overlaps can be created resulting in tries on the wing. Our slide defence wasn't the best earlier in the year. I think that problem has been resolved with the inclusion of the experienced Clinton Toopi and dropping Joseph Tomane who didn't really work well with Meady in defence.
If we can limit handling errors and penalties, especially for laying in tackles, then it will be Titans by 8.
I think the Titans will win this game. It's in the NRL's best interest with the Gold Coast Suns due for arrival next season and the consipracy theorist inside me is waving red flags with this one.
im going to this game and i cant wait
hoping the titans absolutely annihilate roosters but i predict it will be titans by 11
hope kevin gordon gets a few tries aswell
thanks

Well, I put $100 on a St George/Roosters final while they were at $10, and $50 on a Tigers/Roosters final at $16.50, so with my current luck, the Titans win tomorrow night... C'MON, TODDY!!!
