Keary has probably been fine for a few weeks now. Just extra precaution taken cause he's had a few in the space of a short time

I doubt any player goes in with the mindset of going easy on a player though, if he is playing, he is deemed 100% fit

Yes that’s true.

A friend of mine reckons he can see the signs.

His expertise is a bit suss though because he trains dishlickers.

I am glad Chrichton is in retirement like woods.

Got the fat pay check, rest up, kick back and go through the motions for a few seasons.

George Burgess anyone?! Lifeline and all that nonsense. Pick up the phone Madge, three way with Robbie, pull on his heart strings. He goes ok.

If they have any brains they should be putting the kicks along the ground to the giraffe in attack, especially in wet weather as as he isnt that brilliant picking them up around his feet.

The problem will be defending Cronk’s cross field kicks to his high jumping giraffes. Madge will be hard pressed to come up with a plan to combat them.

Daniel Tupou is 1.96 m Jennings 1.92 . We can use Jennings for defence and attack. He can jump and catch.So he can contribute for a change.

It’s going to be a very heavy track and the surface of bankwest will resemble a shallow paddling pool. The drainage is crap there already.

So no acrobatics, it’s back to the 1970s.

The boys are training in the rain this week to acclimatise.

But nothing too heroic or they may be injured won’t make the game.

I am expecting a grind fest.

According to the Telecrap, 15 tries in 10 games for Tupou v Tigers and has failed to score against the Tigers once only. 1.5 tries per game is best career strike rate for any player against any opponent.
Plus, yes there's more, 2 of his 4 career hat-tricks have been against the Tigers.

Any then there's the guy inside him who I think likes playing against the Tigers.

Could be a long night.

Apart from last year, we've made the Roosters look like the harlem globetrotters since 2012 or whatever it is. Even worse when you have 4 rooster mates who like to rub it in saying playing us is like an extra 2 byes lol

I don’t know how but we simply need to win this one.Their mind will not solely be on winning with their last 4/5 losses. If we can win this we go places. Im counting on Thompson to fkmup somehow in defence and attack. And Nofo. It’s a different back 3 than last time

The lads and I are sorting out our gear for the game.

I am not sure if umbrellas are allowed.

Black boots will be the order of the day in wet weather but the trousers will still get wet. I have some boots but they are steel capped and I might be arrested.

I might draw a red white and blue penis on my face to aggravate rooster fans although I could be mistaken for a real one and end up in the corporate boxes with uncle nick trying to sell me a used 2006 Skoda with oil leaks with a Siri who only speaks Norwegian.

I won’t forget the boys here with photos. I’ve almost got real time photos correct. So that would be good for a league unlimited perspective instead of mainstream fake media.

Tonight will be spent partly composing crude and horrible insults for roosters players. If anybody has one that is good, I will happily yell it out for you.

Happy 4th of July to our American brothers and sisters.

Ta til venstre!

How many wet home games have we had in the last few years, must be a killer for the bank balance. When you consider we are in drought, it is amazing how many times it rains on game day.

Maybe we should help the poor farmers and play our games out west so they can get some rain.
Especially at the 8th wonder.Ive lost count of the no. of games Ive needed my umbrella at leichhardt oval the last 4 or 5 yrs

I'd be more confident if it was a rainy game, seeing as it takes the Roosters backs out of play.

Big game tonight. We somehow jag this, next Sunday v Parra will be huge.

Agreed, it brings us into the contest, but it’s a downer onthe crowd numbers and that has a big bearing on the atmosphere.
I am hoping that we get a set fee like at Homebush, but that might not be the case at Nat West
