[Chook]

We will smash Melbourne.

All our players will committ to the game plan, turn up with their boots on and give Melb a hiding.

20+ to the Roosters.

Chook.

 

[Babyface O'reilly]

Still hoping they decide to rest Smith at the last minute. We're capable but just can't see it.

 

[Parkway_Drive]

My 3 2 1 for tonights game were

3 Cords Immense as usual
2 SST Beast
1 Liu Beast Mk 2

I thought they played quite well but geez we are a dumb team. We have the dumbest spine in the comp. Obviously Watson I find an excuse for as he is so young and has a lot of enthusiasm and pace.

 

[Captain Apollo]

We just lack that "knock out" play in attack. We just could not convert pressure into points.

You know nothing John Snow.

3 - Cords

We matched them in the forwards even without JWH, but geesus Pearce and Friend let us down. I cannot believe these two are playing like such busteds more often than not. They should be dropped along with Hastings if form is the deciding factor.

Hastings was suppose to compliment the halves paring with his ability to play what's in front of him leaving Pearce to run the team around the park. With just Pearce at the helm the problem is once plan A doesn't work he can't come up with a plan B and he has no consistency even when things are going to plan.

I've been watching Keary and while lol@ouffs have been loosing, he's been one of their best in those defeats. Plays very direct, tough as doesn't mind the contact and a decent boot on him. Is Nikorima developing or are the rumours he wants back to Brisvegas true?

Chook.
