Home ground advantage most important here.

IMO loser of this game has a decent chance of being knocked out (and winner getting the week off.)

The Bulldogs are a good chance of beating NQ and Souths are in with a chance against Manly.

Could be a repeat of 2004.

Witty's sublime goalkicking will give the Warriors a definite edge.

Warriors by 10.

It might be bias but I'm tipping this to be the best match of the weekend (NRL)

Expecting highscoring but close

Final score something like 32-28

Eels win (hoping)

Inu is a very good goalkicker (around 88% this year) sure Witt is 95% but the point is Parra gave just about everyone a kick today

If Inu kicks them all Parra kick at least 3 more goals

Be realistic Rovelli, your goalkicker takes most of his shots from in front or close to. He doesn't get half as many out wide as players like Hazem and Cam Smith do.

I'll agree with that, but it's not like Witt has kicked them all from in front. He's kicked a lot that I remember from wide out.

I don't have time to review the tapes, but he has.

pap pap pap


Not our fault we score enough tries from far enough out to be able to bring them around under the posts.


-------------------------


I heard a few weeks ago the Warriors had scored the most tries from in their own half than any other team this season - was that right?

Probably.

Still - not Hazem or Cameron's faults they get more wide shots.

Witt and burt this season are better kickes then Cam Smith an Hazem... Hazem will hopefully get the record next season though. (Barring injuries-Doubt he will get injured)

As I said, their records are better due to less kicks from wider out.

Either way, Hazem El Masri will always go down as top goalkicker in 2007. And 6, 4, 3, 2... :crazy:

How do you know they have less kicks out wide??? Witt has kicked alot of his goals (the ones ive seen) from out wide...

A lot? You're kidding yourself. Most are within 10m either side of the posts. He can strike them from out wide, I don't doubt that - but the vast majority of his strikes are from closer-range.
