It should be a cracker. I think we're good for another SKD or Fergo brain snap.

Can SKD top last year's finals effort?

 

Still, I'm going Roosters on this one.

Morning all looking forward to some wonderful and probably some awful club emblems on show in this round

The Roosters' shirt is a tribute to Artie Beetson. Nice.

Russell Fairfax in about 1974 - ironic because a couple of years earlier and he wouldn't have been served in the club because his hair was too long. Didn't stop him winning 2 GFs with the Chooks.

Oates is in rare form.

Copley in after 3 minutes. Good try.

I see that Fergo is playing fullback... I have my doubts, but he provided Copley with a nice pass here.

Maranta out with the concussion rule following that knock. Surprisingly, it took the Broncos two sets of 6 to do it. I suppose his health worsened significantly in the meantime.

By the way, I get the C9 feed. The commentary team is barely audible... Good stuff!

They were trying to answer Klein's question. Did the Roosters player (Liu?) touch the ball while Wallace was having his little juggle? hence the no-try call to begin with.

Of course the C9 commentators complained about it since they listen to nobody but themselves.

For once, I have no complaint with the bunker taking a lot of time to reach the right decision.

No excuse for that. I think he was unconscious when he hit the ground. Should have been taken straight off.

I'd like to hear Bennett's explanation on that one to be honest.

Fergo under the post after a good interchange of pass. Copley returns the favor to Fergo.

 

Roosters 18 - 6 after 30 minutes.

Good, entertaining first half from a neutral point of view. I don't think the Broncos fans will agree though. They're going nowhere at the moment.

A lot of venom in the Roosters tackles.

 

18 - 6 is the half-time scoreline in favor of the Roosters.
