and the storm are not playing badly, 90% completions.

Don't know how you are going to stop the pennies.

They're just so professional in all aspects. The development of Casey McLean is a good example. They let Chrichton or however you spell it go because they knew they had a good one coming through. I know f**k all about Gabrael, but would he be any worse than Ramien? They won't be challenged this year. Will rest players after origin and before finals and will win in a canter.

The scary thing is I think they look even better than they did at any point during their 4 in a row.
Watching them, I just sit there shaking my head thinking "how the hell do we get to that level"?

I think every coach and team in the NRL are thinking that at the moment.
Like I said in another thread, we are lucky we only got them once in the rounds this year. Of their opposition we have probably looked the best against them, that's the real scary part.

1. I think you have to do things that they’re not expecting in attack. Grubber kicks etc. They are so good in defence because they are fit and well drilled in their defensive pabut also I think Ivan knows exactly what each teams tendencies are and how to counter them.

2. Your forwards especially have to been ultra aggressive and go forward especially in the early tackles. Those early tackles they really want to push you back and give you zero momentum and kick out of bad territory.

3. When you have the ball you need to be creative with it. Don’t push passes but don’t be so predictable that their middle defence will just eat up any boring shyte you throw at them.

4. Give Nathan Cleary as little time as possible for anything when he has the ball. If he gets in a rhythm points will flow.

5. In defence you have to stop their offloads. It’s been a big feature of their game this season. With the new 6 again pile on you don’t want your defence back peddling and being vulnerable by a 6 again crushing.

If you think you can beat a clearyless team with 12 men you just get some mad bugger to take Nathan's head off in the first 5 minutes.

I know the sea eagles tried it against the bunnies many years ago.

Drinking soup and smoothies over the summer isn't the worst thing in the world.

The dragons fans need to lose this one if they want flanno gone. Winning this doesn’t help

I havent seen much of the Cows. in this game I'm liking their right centre, Tom Chester. Not sure if this is his normal game but he looks the goods.

In saying that, Drinkwater and Perdue are having a field day
