WTF? I farking hope Robbo knows what he is doing.

McIllwrick is playing in place of Matagi, Taka is back to the bench with Aubbo starting.

Guess we plan to move their big forwards around rather than fighting fire with fire.

that would seem to be the plan, I think Friend will go the whole 80 minutes.

also Cordner's injury may have come into consideration

[fletch]

absolutely pissing down at Allianz now.

Robbo was just on Triple M.

Maubs is starting, with SST going to the bench and Mcilwrick is replacing Matagi on the bench

Of all the games to have 4 forwards on the bench this is surely it, Matagi has been massive for us coming of the bench. I just don't understand why maubs can't give Jake a 10-15 min spell.

WTF? I farking hope Robbo knows what he is doing.

we can only trust him but should the worst happen and we get overrun in the middle, plenty of questions will be asked why Matagi was dropped.

Well Matagi isn't aBIG loss. I think Robbo is looking for more speed... Then again it's a heavy track... Hoping the dogs will tire out. Fergo needs to take the lead and stop waiting for something to come his way like he used to do for the Raiders.

[Tommy Smith]

Oh man, so freaking nervous.

The rain has added to that feeling.

This game may be won and lost in the kicking game.

Goodluck at the game everyone.

If we can't beat cun terbury tonight then we don't deserve to be there when the whips are cracking, we are a 20 point better team than them so the only reason we won't win is if we choke.

we're a 20 point better team than everyone else, so definitely an anti climax if we don't win and win well.. I reckon we'll be back to our best tonight ..

[ROC181]

At least they don't have a goal kicker 👍

[Tommy Smith]

There's gonna be an ambush tonight.

But who's ambushing who?

[Tommy Smith]

At least they don't have a goal kicker 👍

Smith is an average goalkicker too and look how that panned out!

It clearly wasn't our night with that grub slotting 3 from the sideline.

[ROC181]

Come on Fergo, get in there!!!!

[roosterchook]

Very nervous. Dogs intention looks like they want to keep us down our end. Their forwards keep forcing us back not a good sign. Our kicks are not applying any pressure and chase is not there.

It is unfathomable that Jake Friend's kicking game is rated so highly.

SKD!
