When do we get a weather report MJ?

How are the conditions shaping up for this monumental clash?

Humidity at 38% and no chance of rain, ice or snow.

Parra 1-17 with Nelson 18th man.
Captains run held in the morning yesterday and was quite a warm up.
Awaiting decision from NRL doctor as to whether a drinks break will be allowed or not.

You'd have to think a mob from Queensland would be less troubled with the conditions up there.

Humidity is the killer. Gold Coast humidity is nothing compared to Darwin

 

[guruminga]

There's a nice dry season breeze just blowing in. Hopefully it stays for tonight. It'll be welcome relief to the boys.

Even Townsville humidity is nothing compared to Darwin at this time of year.

 

[guruminga]

Normally, this is the driest time of year up here. But the Dry is late this year.

Thank christ for that ... i dont reckon we would go too well in the snow - i was concerned about that

Micky Vella did pre-game interview. It has cooled a bit in the shade.

Norman an absolute passenger looking completely disinterested.....do not re sign this dope!!

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Norman an absolute passenger looking completely disinterested.....do not re sign this dope!!

It's not easy being the only kicker. Pretty much means he can't run the ball on fourth tackle.

 

[Barry O'Speedwagon]

Norman an absolute passenger looking completely disinterested.....do not re sign this dope!!

He seemed to go ok in the 3,2,1.

You've got rocks in your head..

Don't forget he's out of position as well, and it's not like he had any help, Kenny did a great job, sure, but he did ok for what he was expected to do.

You can't base a whole game's performance on the first 30 minutes. If you did, you probably should re-sign most of the team based on how we started the game.

Melbourne went a long way to winning our recent clash on the back of this. Just piled the pressure on Norman on every fifth tackle play safe in the knowledge that he was our only long kicker and made sure to hammer him for good measure.
