30 degrees tomoz?......

[jono]

Outside atm it's around 21 here in Newy , I understand forecast for tomorrow is for 30 . I feel more confident as the match draws closer! This will work in favour of our smaller more mobile forwards with the high-tempo offload game that took us to wins in Newcastle , against Brisbane and in the 7 game streak. Can't wait!

 

[Glenn]

Indeed if Parramatta can get the second phase play happening, going to be interesting to see how the Saints go in warm weather chasing the offloads.

 

[Suitman]

Wendall better makes sure he coats up with the 30+.

We will win - the conditions suit us!

 

[parra pete]

Same as us down here. We are in GF tomorrow against a big side. Predicted 31 degrees. Hope this bloody wind gets to buggary though....

Wont be that temperature come kick off time.
Kick off is just after 4pm, by that time of day at this time of year, the temp has started dropping back a bit.
And also the sun will only cover half the field, the second half the sun will basically be behind the grandstand.

Saints forward pack are reasonably fit, and arguably the fittest in the comp...highlighted by the fact that Bennett has used only 2 forwards off the bench in his rotation several times this year.

If the game was at 2.30-3.00pm then I would say it would be an advantage to you guys for sure.

If the sea-breeze kicks in, it will be cooler. If it doesn't, there's a good chance that temps will still be hot.

[Bob Saget]

That's extremely hot... well for me at least. I reckon the Eels have the advantage tomorrow.

I'm thinking it will still be warmer than average, but by kick off I don't think it will be around 30, it will have dropped.

Also there is a cool-ish change forecast for Sunday arvo / evening, not sure what time though.

Yep , he's clutching at straws , definitely worried about the conditions favouring us.
Mate , at 4pm , if it's been 30-odd degrees all day , it aint gonna be much less than 26 by then.
Go you Eels!

We better not be wearing the darker stripe ( ie last weeks) uniforms then.....absorb 2 much heat. Plus, we seem to lose more games than we win in those.


The predominately white with blue & yellow for tomorrow please.

Don't think Parra will have a choice - dragons will have their traditional jumpers so the blue jerseys will be compulsory .

Will be happy with the yellow jerseys then......we seem to carve up in these as well.

Well according to weatherzone.com.au the temp at Mascot today was under 25 degrees at 4pm, and at 5pm was closer to 22-23 degrees.

Don't see how I'm clutching at straws when all I've said was it wont be 30 degrees at kick off. :crazy:

Yeah, 27 or 28 at kickoff is going to be sooooo much cooler :lol:

 

[Joshuatheeel]

Even 25 degrees is pretty hot when you are used to playing at 18 to 20 degrees
