"Sitili Tupouniua has been ruled out with a minor neck complaint.

Angus Crichton will now start in the second row in his 150th NRL match, with Terrell May coming on to the interchange bench."

Our only backrower who runs with energy. Lucky Canberra.

[Bates]

Gus needs a big game!

[Teddy]

Bloody hell at this rate I would just like to see our beat 17 on the field seems like a lifetime ago we were able to do this.

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I'm with all the above. When will we be suspension and injury free so we can name our strongest 17?

[SupermanSupportsEasts4Eva]

I read an article today saying that the magic number of wins required to make the finals this year is 13. Meaning that we need to win a minimum of 6 more games. With our F/A we probably need to win 7 and drastically improve our attack

[Qld Chook]

Yeah looking at our upcoming draw I guessed 6. If we happen to hit our straps we have 6 very winnable games coming up. They are also against teams that will be fringe 8 competing to make finals so are worth their weight in gold.

[MCMLXVI]

Brrrr, it's cold in this room. It's like I've walked into a wake where all are paying their respects to, and are mourning for, their recently deceased loved one. Robbo has fooled us all, he loves a challenge, the more mystical the challenge the more he desires it. All season, so far, he has deliberately sent the team out to play the Lada game, but today he is bringing out the Ferrari.

At about 8pm this place will be exploding with optimistic posts of how our charge has finally begun, how we should be near favourites for the title. Ricky's press conference will be the funniest 10 minutes of the year.

Go Easts!

[Billy Gunn]

This is a must win game, no excuse for anything other than a good game.

Power game through the forwards and stop the offloads from the Raiders.

[bondi paul]

We have struggled to score more than 20points a game. If we play well tonite with the Klown as ref then I hope Robbo uses the Bronte imbecile sparingly. The Klown owns him.

[Thirteen]

Hoping for some dead rabbit for entree.
