One had better hope this game is a much better showing than the game that just finished vs Manly.

God I hope our Origin guys can back up.

Woo - incoming floggings from my two most hated teams 2 weeks in a row.

Could be worse. We could also have Melbourne after them too.

 

[Old dog]

All our guys fit and ready to go, sorry about extended injuries to Bronco SOO but the overcome it for a huge win

 

[Zoidberg]

I said before the Canberra game we needed to win at least 2 out of 3 of the Raiders/Manly/Broncos games to be a chance for finals in the run home after our next bye.
I’m still of that opinion.

Very interested to see what AOB does for the selections this week if KP backs up and Gamble’s back.

Most likely is that Pryce and Sharpe will be sent back to Cup . Really though they did a better job yesterday than Hastings and Brailey. I thought Brailey was awful yesterday, but at the same time I really don’t want us to re-visit Sharpe on the bench which was a terrible selection. It’s tough and I don’t know what the best solution is.

AOB and Parr. Both of them pick the team.

One of either Pryce or Sharpe needs to be on the wing surely.
