You would think the Roosters would be too strong and advance their points tally up to the dizzy heights of zero.

However, Centrals may step up in response to Laird's retirement announcement. I think the Bulldogs to sneak home in a close one.

We shouldnt need that to get up for the game.Should be up for every game ready to play.In saying that though love to have a win its been a long time and i hope the boys just go out and play,take the game on and just have a crack

Central fans - is the Barilla in the Under 18's any relation to Tano Barilla, who played at the Dogs in the 80's?
