Message: [QUOTE="Big Pete, post: 2704520, member: 1899"] [b]Re: Finals Week Two Discussion[/b] Based on everything I've seen, I'm tipping the Roosters. Despite losing last week, I rated their performance over Melbourne better than the Bulldogs effort against St George Illawarra. The Roosters line-up seems more settled and while they will miss JWH who was key in their last meeting against the Bulldogs, I believe the loss last week will do them the world of good this week and highlight a few areas that they've needed to work on for sometime. I'm not counting the Bulldogs out either. If there's one team that can spring an upset on the day and out-play the top teams at their best, it's them and they've still got enough troops to get the job done. I know that they're considered outsiders after losing Lichaa and Hodkinson, but I think their replacements have arguably been just as good and honestly, I didn't think either left much of a shadow. Hodkinson fell back down to earth after a really good 2014, while Lichaa remains a work in progress and a victim of Des' high expectations. I know he's got a rap on him, but the more I see of Cook, the more I question the decision to play Lichaa for the entire 80 when it was clear that fatigue was getting the best of him. However, it's been awhile since the Bulldogs were on their game, their performances the past few weeks have been far from convincing and I think the Roosters should be able to bounce back after a disappointing performance in Week 1. Roosters by 4. [/QUOTE]
