I like the game day thread. Hours before the game it's Nobby's Nuts at the bar over drinks before being seated for the 3 course dinner. Entrée of crab with a side of pre game last minute opinions in anticipation of the main course, Main is usually a buffet rather than a set menu. 4 meats cut 6 different ways with 10 knives.....serve yourself. Dessert.........post mortem is my favourite.

I wouldnt call Kenny an enforcer. That is for blokes like Mau and Beau Scott. Kenny is more a liability.

He brings high energy but almost cost us last week. He just got lucky we somehow won.

Edit: That attempted intercept on their fifth tackle when we had held them out for ages was what i was referring to (among other incidents). They scored next set.

He is an extremely dumb footballer. Is that what they call an oxymoron?
I reckon he's a very smart footballer. He just takes risks, which is something we need, and why he's one of our best attacking players. We certainly wouldn't want a pack full of them but he's a very important part of our team. That's why he's contracted until 2019.

He's probably a dumb human being though, but his footy smarts are top shelf.

He's best off the bench, so hopefully if Manu is out as suggested Marata gets a start and allows Kenny to get back to doing what he does best.

The same blokes pasting him were the ones missing him when we lost a bunch in a row without his infectious attitude and his energy in defence lifting us later in games.
His win rate in 50+ games speaks for itself, especially when compared to our record without him in the same three and a half year period: http://www.rugbyleagueproject.org/players/ken-edwards/summary.html

Semi looks ominous....twice he's taken the kick and left Vunivalu and others for dead.

We look slick right now...AND A TRY!!!!

Another shift to the right, French slides in out wide
