The Roosters have won three of their opening four clashes for the season, but are faced with one of the biggest challenges in the Hampden league when they head to Reid Oval to take on the up-and-about Blues.

“We’re excited to go up against the best,” Buck said.

“We’ll probably just stick to what we want to do a little bit. We’ve spoken from day one that we want to move the ball in a certain way.

“We want to keep doing that, be a good defensive side.”

Blues coach John Cook said his side was focused on continuing to build on what they have set in motion with three wins on the trot.

“We just want to make sure that we get away with the points,” he said.

“The main focus is to make sure the players can apply the pressure that we need to.”
