THE RED ROOSTER Posted March 13 Share Posted March 13 (edited) Round one proved one truth about the NRL in that teams based pride themselves on their defence Look at the winners, Storm, Sharkies, Roosters, SGI all able to absorb pressure. Brisbane Broncos v South Sydney The rabbits like Paramatta last year have a tough opening schedule and the sound of grumbling coming out of the Burrow against Jason Demotriou. The Bronx by contrast would see this as a get right game. The comment in the Courier Mail has been about culinary improvements at Suncorp.Will rabbit pie also be on the menu? Cronulla Sharks v Canterbury Bulldogs Sharkies big winners last week against a Bulldogs side without the fox hounded out of the game by the Eels. WIll the Sharks take another bite out of the Bulldogs? Penrith Panthers v Paramatta Eels Rumours of the Penny Panthers demise are exaggerated.But they are up against the one side that recently got the wood on them in the regular season in the battle of the West. A statement game for both teams. Will the Eels slip pat the Penny Panthers ? Canberra Raiders v West Tigers Ricky's rampant raiders at home against a West Tigers featuring young Lachlan Galvin as a starter. The ides of March have struck for Aidan Sezer but will it pay off for Benji ? North Queensland Cowboys v Newcastle Knights The Cows come home to tropical townsville against a Knights side unhorsed in round one by the Raiders. Can the Knights get back in the saddle? Melbourne Storm v New Zealand Warriors No Cameron Munster, but question marks against a Warriors side that traditionally does not travel well across the ditch. Storm warning? Manly Sea Eagles v Sydney Roosters A rampant silvertails face the other unexpected Vegas winners. The big issue here may well be can the Roosters maintain the intensity and discipline shown last week or will Manly hit the jackpot two weeks running? Dolphins v St George-Illawarra Dragons Benny has reportedly put the whole Dolphins playing staff on notice following the sort of start this season predictedcfor last. Flanno working his magic on SGI in respect of organisation and defensive discipline. Will the 'phins finally make a splash against the Dragons?
