In the next 4 weeks...

[The European Polynesian]

We play Roosters, Storm and Broncos.

Gotta be the clashes I look forward to most entertainment wise - we always have good battles with those teams.

Footy season <3

 

[shiznit]

i actually think this stretch with the Roosters and Raiders is bigger...

2 Away games in a row... the guys all go into camp in Australia for the next fortnight...

the boys can tighten... and become tougher...

Which ones are home games?

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

Broncos and Souths are after the Raiders game

The Canberra game is gonna be a real toughie.

The Canberra game is gonna be a real toughie.

Have we ever won in Canberra? I can only recall losses. Even if we have, we have a very poor record there.

Since 2006 we've played Canberra in Canberra 3 times for 3 losses. The last time we played them in Canberra was 2009, where we got thumped 38-12.

Warriors record at Canberra Stadium: Played 9, Won 1, Lost 8

The only win was in Round 6 1997 - we won 31-24, Marc Ellis (!) kicked the field goal.

We also beat them in Canberra in 2001 when the game was shifted to Manuka Oval thanks to the Rugby Onion finals.

Canberra look great; they dealt to the Tigers really nicely last night. Having said that, I think we will thump them,

The Roosters are hot and cold. You just hope to get them on a cold day.

Raiders lack depth but they have a tradition of being tough. Raiders have a good allround squad with Campese back and Mcrone getting experience, they will more than trouble many teams. A definite 8 prospect, barring injuries.

Warriors trouble the storm. The warriors structure can be confusing for them. But the storm look good.

Hopefully the two Rapira's back in the next few weeks and Lucky not too far away. Its a long season and not too many easy games.

The Fish might be in. That's exciting I reckon.

I think the Storm will trounce the Warriors unless we get a bit more structure into our game. When we beat them last time it was 80 mins of completing sets, smart kicks and water tight defence.

Actually I agree. Hopefully the Titans game was a sign our defense is improving, not just that we were playing a rabble of a team.

Losing to the Storm is something I really don't handle very well haha.

I do like what McClennan has done in opening up our attacking structure, but we will miss the low risk defensive style of Cleary in certain games.
