2020 Finals Week 2 V Roosters: Game Day

[greeneyed]

Have been watching the Raiders V Roosters classics since about 4pm. Seems every game ends with the Roosters winning from an impossible situation.

Tonight's game is now officially a sell out.

They should have shown the 2004 final when Tyran Smith went absolutely mad trying to belt people.

[Horace Dove-Edwin]

Very concerned that Roosters attacking kicks will kill us.

Nope just the pregame onwards tonight. We get most of the shows these days though - 360, The Fan, MJ Podcast, Big League Wrap.

Interesting bench for the Roosters. Some natural edge players will be compelled to play middle.

[Northern Raider]

Havili starting no shock. Same with Sia shifting to bench. Young replacing him is the surprise. I like what Lui does in those early minutes. We missed that last week. Hopefully not tonight.

Go raiders we got this feeling nervous and strangely confident

Yep, seems both sides are planning to play very quick. It was a beautiful day in Sydney and a bit of wind so the field will be dry and fast.

If I took 2 of those I wouldn't get back till well into the 2nd half.

[cat]

Was klein the ref we killed against the sharks last round?

[GreenMachine]

Not nervous tonight.
I’m not expecting the result to go our way.
Anything else is upside.

[FuiFui BradBrad]

Anyone watching the Fox coverage already? Trying to figure out the song on the background of Ricky’s feature

[Off]

It was sonny bill and mundines new release.

[Roger Kenworthy]

What about how they always say Muse Feeling Good for the Roosters promo when it's clearly not that song.

[Green thumbs]

Reaching for the Valium and the game hasnt even started.
Go Raiders! Give it everything - play your best and I’ll be super proud!
Feeling for Sutton and Hodgo, and the other blokes sitting on the sidelines through injury.

[Rads1984]

The Raiders will need to play their best game all year to be in with a chance. Roosters don’t lose 3 in a row often.

Keep praying Havili...put in a good word for me.

[The Greenhouse]

Luke Keary may have suffered a slight wrist problem during the warm up. Raiders now back in the sheds after the warm up. Trent Robinson very animated in the Roosters' sheds.

[The Greenhouse]

Mal Meninga is leading the Raiders' crowd in a chant on the ground!

[Raider47]

I'm so nervous

[The Greenhouse]

Ricky Stuart heading to the coach's box... the Raiders are in a huddle in the sheds. This is emotional. This is a moment. Enjoy the game Raiders fans!

[Motiv8dan]

Nice red in hand, let's go boys, dig in!!!!

[EJ]

Raiders bay pretty fun.

We are so outnumbered tho lol

Roach is saying someone called Havarrli is playing us.

[The Greenhouse]

The Raiders are heading out onto the field now, led by Jarrod Croker, Elliott Whitehead close behind. Here they come! Ricky Stuart will be on the sidelines.

[MrPosh]

Bateman giving the final team talk and he looks wired.

[1992]

Not fair we had to walk from Canberra.

[The Greenhouse]

There is a Viking Clap to welcome the team! Shaun Fensom blows the virtual horn and Meninga leads it.
