Big game for Rads

He's going to temper his impulsiveness and instead use his extraordinarily large football brain tonight . It is of course not impossible, but I can't see us losing this game. Manu and May being out is a big negative that still rightly leaves us as the favourite. I hope that Paulo (AKA Barlow) continues with his new confidence. It's about time that E.Butcher put in a praiseworthy performance without error. Don't want him to become nicknamed the 'lucky country'. Still, our forwards are miles ahead of theirs. I expect a big game tonight from Walker and (I'm not joking) Hutchison. I reckon that this game has the potential to be very exciting and explosive.

Go Easts!

Best ground, best team playing another Sydney side. Should be a full house.

That would be great for a Thursday Night.

…..and Union will offer him $1.7m

If he doesnt take the big bux on offer with Union, anyone called Hutch must end up at Souths.

I think Keary can play better footy, hopefully he produces it. Also, bench needs to lift - unless Baker/ JWH switch.

Is it 8pm yet!

Tough game tonight and let's hope the eels don't reproduce the 41/43 completions like last week.
Joey is a big out that leaves us with the reliable but very plodding Hutch in the centres if we go as programmed. I'd love to see Suaalii at right centre to show his wares but Robbo doesn't look keen on the idea.
Paulo is a big out and we can dominate up front and give our class players the time to knock them off.
Easts to win.

The most reliable thing about Hutch is that he will plod

Matterson offloaded all night.

He's a late out mate - apparently missed the team bus and refused to pay for an Uber....

Let's hope the rest of the squad lift for them and make it memorable.

Hopefully lifting not like Fitzys last game I think it was v the cowboys at the SFS and we got pumped - I don't find we are good at milestone games. In saying that I think we win a close one tonight but duck the milestones - play footy cause you want to win full stop.
