From Roosters Website ::
The Sydney Roosters’ 2005 finals hopes received a massive boost tonight after New Zealand scored a late try to down Manly 22-20.
Had the Sea Eagles won, the Roosters would be no chance of making the finals.
If the Roosters beat Canterbury on Sunday and Canberra beat Manly on Saturday night during round 26, the Roosters will scrape into eighth spot.
Penrith can still edge the Roosters out of eighth spot with two sizeable wins.
If Manly win next week, they will retain eighth place.
Ohhh Yeah. We can sooo beat Bulldogs, and Raiders can sooo beat Manly hopefully. I so knew we could still make finals.
