Thoughts
Composure and playing like a machine are once again key elements this weekend as the Rovers are coming up against tough competition right across the board.
With Grand Final berths on the line for seven Rovers teams and the threat of elimination hanging over the other two, Stress and nerves will be high but if the teams keep their cool, trust in their team mates skills and play the way they have been playing so far then things should go their way.
Rovers Talk will be back on Sunday with all the results for you to read and hopefully enjoy.
