Gee this one could get ugly if our second half attitude from last week shows it head yet again.

Storm are just so clinical at identifying and taking advantage of opposition weakness. Our edge defence needs to absolutely spot on this week.

The forwards need to watch the second half of the cows game and harness that sort of effort and attitude if we are any chance.

 

[Headless Chook]

I honestly don't know how this will turn out. Either it will be a pizzling with our arses left red raw after a severe pounding with the season and our credibility on the line or we turn it around and have a go.

Hopeful having our co-captains back will stiffen our middles but suspect the Storm will continue on their merry way.
