We've got an abysmal record in Canberra, even when we've been strong and they've been poor.

We've won a total of 3 games at the ground in the NRL era, and haven't won a game there for 15 years. Maybe we're due?

We haven't scored a try the last two times we've played in Canberra.

Something would have to really change and go against history and form for us to get the win tonight.

I can't see it happening.

No. He'll most probably make it harder for them with his clueless bench rotation.

That was too easy

I'm hoping we win. We seem to play better against better opposition.

We are hoping we win but it's the same old not knowing which eels team will turn up every weekend. Sure Arthur has built and recruited pretty well, but it's the game day attack that we are lacking at the moment and its erratic.

Too many risky passes at the line in our 50 or risk offloads in our own half is making us a rocks or diamonds team.

It either comes off and we're looking good, or it doesn't and we're down 0 - 16 against the Broncos or letting Wests come back from a major deficit.

We are rocks and diamonds and until we fix our risk management, that will continue to be out motto.

What's keeping us in matches at the moment is the effort from our middles, but how much longer can players like Brown push his body to the limit to counteract our erratic attack.

We need to play way before the line when we spread out of our own 50 and limit risk offloads in that area.

It’s only been 8 seasons, it will come good.

When the team does not have an attack coach or a head coach that cares about attack it puts too much pressure on the defense and means the team can't play with speed which looks like they arent enthusiastic. We dont even have a coach that can recruit attacking players.

It certainly isnt going to happen.
This is a worse attacking team than we are use to so it doesnt have the necessary ingredients to turn it around. We are pretty good at home usually still so we should scrape into the top 8.

BA has even told them a couple of times to run in the other direction in attack. Thankfully Gutho stood up to him and said no.
