Advantage us or them next week?

they probably get murray, cook and graham back. we probably get rads, suaalii and jwh back and lose manu. we're down a few players but the team is humming. the score flattered souths in the last game and while they have some brilliant players who can win it for them the momentum is with us

Spot on. We will be justified favourites.

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.

Hutcho is a solid defender but the centres is a different proposition.

They were walking past him towards the end on Friday night.

Hutch has the longest kicking game in the team and that will be a plus if he fills in for Joey

I didn't notice them use Hutch last week as a kicking option - did they?

Yes.

[Eggspert]

Hutcho did have a couple of kicks last week. He has at least 20+ more metres in his kicks than Walker & Keary.

We'll be playing against 14 players but will still have the advantage because Souffs s*ck. Also they stuffed up their members code for their final game of the year, so our fans are gonna mob 'em.

Heck, we've even got Jizzy coming up from Canberra to heckle the vermin!

[The Lip]

Unfortunately I don't think the code stuff up will effect their numbers negatively - they were for Rabbitoh dedicated bays weren't they? If so they wouldn't have reallocated them they would of held them until they sorted the glitch out I assume?

Yeah I agree he has a longer boot - I was at the the game and don't notice him kick at all and was wondering why we wouldn't use him. I suppose we only really need to use him to kick when we are struggling to get out of our end amd that didn't happen often last Friday.

We played all our cards last week. A huge tactical error in my opinion.

What dribble.

We played to win.

And we'll do the same this week.

Also psychologically we snapped a 4 game losing streak to the Hotdog Smugglers and now they know that our forwards can monster them.

And this week we get Rads back and JWH for 50 minutes, not 13 minutes. Which will counter Murray's outrageous inclusion because Souffs don't care if he becomes a vegetable.

Also, this is 2002 re-run.

We beat the Sharks in the last rnd then again in the finals. This year we beat Souffs in the last round and will beat them again in wk 1 of the finals.

So you would’ve preferred we played dead and let them run over us? We played to win, as we will be doing again this Sunday, playing to win. It’s not rocket science to know that in order to win the roosters must go up the middle and kick well and contain Fatrell and Wanker .

I know this is off- topic but did anyone think that the Ref (Grant Atkins) had a fairly decent game on Friday, and there were no B/S calls?

"I know this is off- topic but did anyone think that the Ref (Grant Atkins) had a fairly decent game on Friday, and there were no B/S calls?"
he is easily the fairest, less biased of all the refs in any game I watch him ref.
