To be honest I am surprised we are favourites this weekend with betting agencies.
In past years the Eels haven't handled the media hype! The Roosters haven't been that impressive. They've certainly had the favour of the ref! and the team's they've been playing have been average. Raiders have been good and Manly have relied on the Doobie Bros!
Roosters have proven themselves against top sides? You are obviously talking about previous seasons and not this one. Roosters have beaten a broncos side with 2.5 million dollars of edge forwards out. This Manly team hasn't really proven themselves yet either. Canberra is the ones to beat so far.
I never look at who we are playing more how we are playing. Our defence is working well we are holding possession and field position and we are playing for each other. When these things are happening you win more games than you lose. I'd rather be under the radar.
The Roosters have earned the respect, they are two time defending champioins, and they are well and truly back to their best.
The Raiders were grand finalists last year and have improved with the addition of George Williams. They deserve the respect.
Manly are always a tough opponent under Dessie's coaching.
We've still got some points to prove. The only way to get that respect is to keep winning.
History tells us that the we don't perform well when we have high expectations set upon us. Let the the media talk about others.
We've been talked up all season thus far and have gotten better each week.
