How are the Roosters second favourites? I haven't been impressed by them at all. Tedesco seems to be slowing down, Keary is one knock away from retirement, Walker is still super young. And so far they've beaten the Warriors (5th admittedly), and the Eels & Rabbitohs, who are 11th and 15th. Plus one bye. Are the betting agencies privy to something we don't know?

Paper bags.

But also, the Roosters were lucky to beat the Warriors, some seriously fortuitous decisions went their way.

Probably a fair bit of cash went in on them pre-season. Big money signing in the Cheese and their starting pack looked stacked (JWH, Lodge, Crichton, Radley and Tupouniua) alongside the rest of their 1.5m+ in contractual "goodwill" they get over the rest of the NRL apparently.

Cheese hasn't clicked yet and injuries have tested their depth. The Butcher boys and Baker are plodders. Keary is still fragile. I think Robbo is getting stale as well.

There has also been a general sense about Roosters ‘being due’ (especially in the media) after a few injury ravaged years. Have the team on paper to be first but they aren’t clearly ahead of the pack even with such a team.

Pre-season I would have got it, but we're 6 weeks in and after their performances I don't see. The conspiracy theorist makes me wonder what the bookies know that we don't, ie, they are on the verge of medically retiring Keary or Crichton and are about to pinch another club's star player with the cash.

I didn't see any of them but would be keen of the opinion of anyone who saw the incidents.

I hate Ginane in commentary... but I might hate this more... actually no this only lasts an hour and I can switch it off... Ginane commentary usually occurs during a broncos game
