Advantage us or them next week?

[NorfolkStreetKid]

We were awesome first half, looked like we ran out of puff second half, Jared off after 16 minutes didn't help, but we have had some huge must win games lately and it had to catch up with us sometime. I thought we did extremely well since we were missing 4 starters, getting Rads and Suaalii back will add to us next week. Lets hope Joey and Toops gret back on the park before the qualifier, thats 3 weeks from now, and hope we can get Jared through the next few games. We can still win the big show.

The way we nullified Latrell I really liked. He was cooked for most of the game. His best position most of the night was hands on hips.

It's sport it's not perfect & there's many up's & downs during the season. Find me a forum or comment section anywhere on the internet without negativty or complaint.

We are on fire & can go all the way but I'm fearing injury will cruel our chances this year. It's frustrating.

I have always felt the delineation in regard to positivity/negativity of opinion rather hazy. Is the lessening of the intensity of darkness at 4am still night or is it morning.

The past two games have been brutal wins (very much positive with slight in trepidation), to overcome the pain and injury of those games (slipping into negativity), will certainly be momentous (hazy negativity/positivity) in proceeding further and pinching the GF, resulting all of us to sit back smug and happy.

we'll need a few more players back to win the comp but we're favourites next week even with naiqama momo hutch suaalii in the 3/4s. the rest of the team is humming. keary and walker were awesome last night and our forwards our really dominating. teddy is teddy. hutch would be found out in defence v the faster centres if we're under the pump for 80 but if we're dominating the game he'll go alright

Mate I like Hutcho but surely you can see he's out of his depth defensively in the centres. He's been great filling in at dummy half, five eighth and even lock.

Souffs will tear us to shreds if he's in the centres next week. At least the Pom is a specialist centre.

Didn't we just play Souths with Hutch in the centres and we won?

[player 1]

You all forget our defence is on no matter who plays...souffs comeback was mediocre..lucky bounce off the post..intercept loose ball..1st try was on the back of penalties ...we far out muscled them and outsmarted them

THis ^

Also, how bad was Latrell? I mean, has he played a worse game ever?? Give me a break about that lucky bounce off the posts try from the kick.

He looks like he spent his time off earlier in the week at the Taree service centre KFC. He's never looked fatter.

We will demolish these pretenders next week - you didn't expect Robbo to show all his cards last night, did you?

[The Lip]

I think you should bite your Lip on this one.

Haha - advantage Eggspert

[The Lip]

Murray is facing an 11 day minimum out after two head knocks, needs
to pass an independent test to play any earlier

Is that 100% correct mate?

That's bonkers Billy

[Tommy Smith]

Murray will play. Souffs don't give a fark about player welfare. Never have, never will. It's in their DNA.

But we'll have Rads back so that balances out. Also JWH is akin to another big forward addition.

he doesn't face a mandatory 11 day out but he can't play within 11 days without an independent expert clearing him

Thanks mate then - he's playing next week - you can't get enough money on that

[Carlos Parra]

If Hutcho plays centre we're screwed.

May as well give the Pommy a go.

Correct.

[Jacks Fur Coat]

The tactics of both Coaches last might was always going to be interesting. You want to keep form and momentum but save a bigger shove for the first finals game.

Souths didn't bring the intensity and physicality I expected. But maybe that was due simply to not being able to match us there anyway? We will find out next week.

We are better than them. Simple. They are a one trick pony (albeit hard to nullify) with Mitchell and Walker stripping the edges and tries in the corner. Meet and beat that, you beat them.

Our strength atm is the ruck speed and power through the middle. And having Keary fit and firing is the jewel in the crown. Terrorised them last night.

If we start fast and play from in front next Sunday, the mental scars from last night's "nothing" game, will suddenly become "something".

The stage is being set.

Not sure about this now. Yes Hutch is slow but is a bigger body than Gildart & defensively is quite sound out there. Might as well leave him there against the same team.

If we get past South's then it's Sharks or Cow's I think? which Hutch could handle again. Of the teams left I think it's Penrith & Parra who he would really struggle against.
