NRL - Dragons v Roosters

THE Anzac Day hoodoo has finally ended.

THE Anzac Day hoodoo has finally ended.

It was done in emphatic style as the Roosters had too much power, speed, skill and class for St George-Illawarra, downing them 34-10 at Allianz Stadium on Thursday.

If you were at the game, you have entered something into your minds that will be hard to wipe.

The atmosphere, the full stadium, the result. All of these great things made for one of the most enjoyable wins as a Roosters fan.

Sonny Bill Williams once again showed why he is the best thing since Brad Fittler.

Jared Waerea-Hargreaves is playing like a man possessed.

In his past two games, he has made more off-loads than in his previous three seasons put together. He has been unstoppable.

Michael Jennings sprinted like a gazelle in the Serengeti for one of his tries. He has plenty of speed to burn.

It is time to end another hoodoo this Sunday at Sydney Football Stadium.

After a couple of thumping wins, it would be easy to fall into the trap of thinking that showing up against Penrith would be enough.

The Panthers thrive on this mentality, so it's time the Roosters put this theory to bed.

Regardless of what team they have on paper, or where they are positioned on the ladder, they just seem to have the knack of beating us.

Their coach, Ivan Cleary, is a former player and lower-grade coach.

Their general manager, Phil Gould, is a legendary name when it comes to the Roosters.

We can be certain that these two men will be plotting our downfall.

Easts to win.
