The Sydney Roosters are without Jared Warea-Hargreaves and Mitchell Pearce and were outgunned by the Melbourne Storm last weekend.

Tonight they clash with the Canterbury Bulldogs in a semi-final with everything to gain and everything to lose.

“[Bulldogs] will be extremely dangerous, everyone’s been talking about them just scraping by in their games but they’re an extremely talented squad and they have a lot of mongrel behind them which is always a good thing and they have the big game experience,” Moa said.

“Physically and mentally we’re in a better state than last year.

“We’ve built up some good combinations and good momentum going into the finals.

“We took a backwards step last week but that doesn’t change what we’ve already put in the bank and we’re confident in our ability as a team and a club to move forward.

“[There’s a] bit of adversity with the loss to Melbourne but we’re confident we can turn things around and play to our potential and if we do play to our potential we it’s hard for teams to match it with us and hopefully we can do that on Friday.”
