[zac]

I hate having to play the vermin two games in a row.

Depends on who wins.
2 wins for the Chooks would be unreal, 2 wins for Souths would be a killer.
How about we go 1 each they win Friday night & the Chooks win next week. Would you take that if it was on offer?

[Noosa Rooster]

win win either way..my 2 most disliked teams..

Not to be unfortunately but the eels were a real chance to put score on them tonight.

Munster did SFA until the 75th minute, then managed to fluff an easy conversion that could have put the Storm back into the game.
He is a massively over-rated player. Pathetic actually.
It shows the Storm are nothing without Hughes and Pappy.
I am actually stoked that the Storm were creamed by the Eels tonight.

I could live with that. Sort of. So long as there are no injuries or suspensions tomorrow and we don’t get flogged and Latrell has a shocker in both games!

Recommend the Politis podcast released today. Good take on our new home, academy, upcoming talent and all round good listen. Perfect with headphones on doing lawn.

More talk of this Wong kid and Rob Toia - who I didn’t know did his ACL.

Might not be squad related but didn’t see another thread.

Apologies Rooster36 started thread on page 2, ignore.

So precarious tomorrow night. Yeah we want to win but now that we know it'll be Souffs 2 games in a row do we take a conservative approach?

Personally I'd be playing Hutch at 6, Joey at 1 and resting Teddy and Keary. Bring in Gildart and Keighran to the centres. I don't want a potentially great season derailed by a head knock or a suspension. Give May and Baker big mins tomorrow and put Lodge and JWH on ice after the first 20mins. We have enough in the squad to beat them this week then beat them again with full strength the week after.

In a perfect world we destroy them both games with our full strength side but the way this game is played makes it nearly impossible.

Whatt has Adam Keighran done wrong ? - he just can't seem to get selected for FG this year.
Last year he looked like a competent backline player - but this year it looks like he has fallen out of favour with Robbo.

Really increases the risk of a nasty infection to close to 100%
