Match Discussion: Round 4 vs Eels @ ANZ Stadium

[super_coach]

On a positive note, we have being playing a ultra physical brand of football and having the long break between games will do us no harm at all. Lets hope we get the rub of the green for once

 

[Vozzy]

If we defend the way we have I can see us winning 20-6 something like that. I can see it being tight if we can get an 8 point lead and keep defending to the point parra get frustrated we should be able to finish them in the final 20. I want to score an early try cos that could unleash confidence in our attack.

It has been said on here earlier, the fact hayne is out is a huge plus for them. Current form indicates a comfortable win to wests, however as wests fans we know that its these games we typically blow. This will be a good guide to how the culture rebuild is going

If our boys come out with the same intent as they have been doing then I think we will win.

We are a new team, so nothing is typical IMO, win or lose I just hope we are trying. At the beginning of the year, many were hoping for 1 or 2 wins from the first 6 games. We have already exceeded many people's expectations.

One thing I have learnt over many years of following the JV/Balmain...last week means nothing for both teams. It all comes down to who wants it on the day mixed with a bit of luck

Word going round is Liddle will play, unsure who for. Lolohea is there for cover and won’t come in unless someone pulls out.

I reckon we’ll be 1-17 with Liddle in for 1 if the hookers

Can’t wait to see Tony WillIams use brooks as a speed bump

Too bad that might be the only highlight for you when Parra get demolished 40-0

Young Brooksy has been very good in defense this season I reckon. Made some crucial one-on-one tackles.

Pretty sure Williams is going to play prop, which is laughable in itself

for 5 minutes?

Interesting team news going around that either Naquima and MWZ will be the one to miss out. Tui will come to 1 in pushing Thompson to the wing. MWZ possibly moving to center.

Liddle and Benji will play if they get through captains run.

My guess is Grant and Gamble drop off bench tomorrow. Then McIllwrick and the back before kick off.

Williams? Lmfao

 

[Clifferd]

I hope MWZ gets the nod. To me he has a lot more upside than Naiquama

A player that has started from the bottom and worked hard to get to where he is now

 

[Clifferd]

Williams? Lmfao

When Parra start relying on rejects such as Williams to come good you know they’re f**ked

Good times

Brooks has been snapping blokes twice his size in half this year you twat.

 

[Vic Mackey]

Liddle in, McIllwrick out, great news. I reckon Tui will play aswell. Team slowly starting to take shape

Yay Liddle

I think barring injury, next week we should have a full strength squad to choose from for the first time?

Taylor and Reynolds expected back also.

Hopefully mate, however I think Reynolds is at least 2 more weeks away going off Cleary’s press conference this morning
