Message: [QUOTE="BroncsFan, post: 3320138, member: 9052"] Newcastle look the worst team in the finals this year and I expect Parra to account for them pretty easily. I give the titans a decent chance of winning, because roosters just look like they should be out of troops... the issue for the titans will be having to travel. They have been playing out of GC bar the last game since we went into a bubble... I'm not sure how everything is working at the moment but if it's a FIFO arrangement I could see them struggling. Roosters weakness is in defence... that have obvious targets in Sam Walker/Lam and Verrils.... I think hooker is their biggest issue, but I cannot see why they are going Lam over Walker. I think Lam has been pretty poor the last few weeks that he's been starting and Walker coming on against the dragons was a catalyst for them winning. Real danger game for roosters, but I think their mentality will be stronger than the titans. There's a real chance GC get overawed by the occasion trying to treat it as a normal game and get run over by the roosters... or they come out hard and heavy only to be repelled by the rooster and then eventually concede. Panthers should deal with rabbits fairly easily, who will then win week 2 and go out against Manly or Storm in the prelim... so I'd say rabbits season is pretty well done. I think storm will win tonight... it happens a few times where they come into a finals series somewhat out of form only to blitz the opposition and look like nothing ever happened. The conditions tonight could be a telling factor, I've noticed Sunny Coast ground to be quite dewy for the 8.00pm games... so could be a grind it out style, which wont suit Turbo... I suspect Melb will pressure DCE... he looks vulnerable at rushing defence based on his origin form so if Melb can cut down his time it could be hard to get it to Turbo, dewy conditions would assist Melbourne in that regard as well. It all just seems a drawn out inevitability that leads to Melb vs Manly/Penrith in the GF [/QUOTE]
