Fast forward 6 months......

The other good thing about the prelim, is that given we’d have two weeks to prepare we could break the Brumbies ground record as we’d have time to bring in scaffold seating at either end of the stadium.
What are the odds of snow tomorrow? They’re talking it up on the radio, but the media loves a bit of hyperbole.

It's frappin' freezing here at the moment and looking out towards the mountains I can see it snowing up there, but looks quite low.

Cotric looked to be training at right centre judging by captain’s run photos. I’d say if Leilua is playing it’s via the bench.

Re: 2019 Rd 21 V Roosters: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
I’m loving the anticipation for this game. Not just for raiders and roosters fan but everyone I know who is interested in league at all is looking forward to this game. Rightly so too! Two of the best teams both in great form facing off a few weeks out from the finals.
It’s hard to remember what it feels like to be considered one of the best teams in the league! It has legitimately been that long I can’t remember!

Re: 2019 Rd 21 V Roosters: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
RObinsón's comments in the media about us weren't exactly flattering. Not sure if it is a strategy to try and throw us off our game.
We just have to focus in and keep doing what we've done, but even better.
I'm not confident, because we haven't gone that well against the other top sides so far. However I hope we pull it off, and if we do I'll be well and truly convinced we are legitimate contenders. Go Raiders

Capital chill? Makes snow difference to us, say confident Sydney Roosters ahead of Canberra Raiders clash
Swatting away suggestions his side won’t be as pumped as the Raiders, Sydney Roosters coach Trent Robinson insists the premiers will be ready for Sunday’s NRL blockbuster come rain, hail or sunshine. Or even snow.
“I don’t think weather’s ever dictated performance, or it won’t be dictating ours tomorrow,” he said before leaving Sydney on Saturday.

Hopes for Canberra icebergs to greet Bondi hipsters
Raiders coach Ricky Stuart said they got through their captain's run unscathed - despite the cold. And he says the conditions would be tough for both teams on Sunday - even his contingent of Poms.
"It's cold for everybody. It's like having to go to Queensland and having to play in 25 degrees at the moment," he said. "It's difficult whether it's hot or cold. It makes it uncomfortable for everyone.

Im hearing a lot of positivity from all directions. There’s a lot of belief in this team but the most important thing is that they believe in themselves. I hope the sports psychologist has had a few sessions, and McFadden had drummed even more defence training into them, with 9 days to consolidate.pickles wrote: ↑August 10, 2019, 4:31 pm I’m loving the anticipation for this game.

Re: 2019 Rd 21 V Roosters: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
The only result that hurts our chances of winning the competition today is letting a game slip that we should win (e.g., ahead by 8 with 10 to go...). Anything other than that, including a 10-12 pt blow out against us - and it could work in our favour long term.Azza wrote: ↑August 10, 2019, 6:08 pm RObinsón's comments in the media about us weren't exactly flattering.

The game feels really important, but with Manly losing and us still to play them - it's not so much at this stage. Top 4 and win our first finals game is the goal
Re: 2019 Rd 21 V Roosters: Teams and Previews *Teams p1*
Maybe so, however with the storm next week I'd feel a lot better if we managed to get some extra breathing space from 5th this week, so we can focus on top 2 rather than just the 4.

I feel like the best result would almost be we win all remaining games except the Storm game.
That way we probably get second place, we aren’t on a massive win streak any more, and the team stays hungry to find another gear to take Storm on in the finals.
