Us by 10

 

[Zoidberg]

It is exciting to be in a final.
I will have everything crossed we can show up and cause a massive upset.

 

[Knight Vision]

If AOB can pull off a win* with our rabble we have the second coming of the Messiah as our head coach.

At this stage I'm just hoping for a scoreline that doesnt enter the all time list in the history books and permanently scar the roster.

I'm scared.

* We made the Titans look like 2 time Premiership winners and Ash Taylor look like Andrew Johns's love child.

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

They'll need to play poorly and us well to have a chance. That can happen.
We'll need to be strong at the start and to get a lead up.

 

[alexwilliams_66692007]

Sounds like Toohey wants Tex at 5/8 this week lol

Yes drop one of our best players from the Titans game. Coach would be better off taking away Pearce's kicking licence for a start.

Toohey gets good info from the club but he's an out and out cheerleader, you'll never see him bagging Pearce.

 

[Yosh]

Can't see us winning this. We will just one out it all game. Mids get tired from getting smashed by three defenders every time and then Cook will run riot.

If he wants Tex at 5/8 I'm okay with it...

6. Hoy
7. Lino

Works for me!

I agree, Lino deserves to retain his spot.

 

[Zoidberg]

Stop dreaming.

On the contrary, I am really excited about Pearce throwing short balls to Fitz. Souffs won’t know what hit them. I can hardly wait. Go team go.

 

[Spot On]

Boyz have been foxin'....

All the things we've wanted to see in both attack and 'd' will finally be unleashed this week!!!!

Pearce FTS and MOM.

 

[AusKnightRKO]

I think Hoy will be named in the 6 an hour before kick off, this keeps the focus off him during the week and he prepare properly

 

[NoSchitSherlock]

Pretty much as expected.

 

[mozza91]

I’m excited about the game. It’s been 7 years of utter shit so I’m going to enjoy being back in the semis.

 

[Knight Vision]

Hope Randall starts and gets us on a roll . He makes a huuuuuge difference to our flat footed attack Personally I'd leave him there all game. Great defender as well.

 

[Knight Vision]

This is a big game and history shows Pearce doesnt like big games unfortunately - so let's not look to him for salvation and let's just hope he doesnt get in the way..

Our forwards need to find some mongrel

It will be up to Lino and Ponga to steer the ship and direct our attack.

Hopefully Best has a pearler of a game and unleashes that inner beast.

Yep me too. I feel like this is now Souths game to lose considering no one expects us to win at all.

Either way, I'll be there screaming my lungs out lol
