54-44 (+11.56)

Couldn't ask for better Finals games this weekend. 

1 v 2 and 3 v 4.

Sydney Roosters at Brisbane Broncos

The play...

Roosters $1.80 (3 units)

Have to play the Chooks, their only disadvantage in this game is the venue. Too much class in this Eastern Suburbs squad. Doncos should have lost to the Cowboys in the 1st round, North Queensland just lacked the execution at the end of their sets. Sticking by the belief that Milf and Hunt need at least another season together before they taste a 'ship. The passive defensive style of Brisbane will cost 'em tonight.

Broncos won the first game in golden point then Roosters won a few ago by 2 points.

Looking at the last time they played (more relevant), it was the goal kicking that was the difference.

The Broncos scored off 2 very well constructed tries, the Chooks scored off a well constructed try with the other from a kick that was mis-fielded by a Broncos player.

The Roosters had an absolute stack of possession in the Broncos half and 20, and absolute stack of it.

Blake Ferguson ran a muck on his side of the field that night, but tonight he is up against one of the best defensive centres in Jack Reed who didn't play that night.

How much difference will 55000 screaming Broncos fans make?

Means nothing come Finals time, Rostos.

Have to play the matchups, coaching etc.

The way the Chooks stack up against the Donco's 'stand back and wait' defense is glaring.

If the powers that be truly believed that 55k worth of Donco fans would get Brisbane home, they wouldn't have opened them as 3 point home dogs.

If I'm wrong so be it but only the Chooks can beat the Chooks tonight.

Of course the home crowd means something, they're not playing in a bubble.

It means something but not as much as most think.

Actually puts more pressure on the Doncs' young halves pairing than if they were playing a road game, imo. Especially Milf.

I honestly would have preferred the Roosters if Pearce didn't play.

IMO, I think he is going to make them disjointed tonight...

Unlikely. Chooks system will allow him to slot right in. If he's gonna cause any issues it will have to do with his long kicking game. Reckon he'll play 60 mins, with Hastings either closing out or slotting in the opening 20 of the 2nd half.

Broncos are the most opportunistic team in the league. Limited but very efficient in attack.
