Rd 21 v Bulldogs

[Chins get the wins]

They'd be mental to risk Kikau in a game like this.

Mental is a good word to describe Gus' ego

 

[Kilkenny]

I hope Luke Garner gets some decent minutes and plays well.

It has been a difficult season for him, injuries have hindered him and has struggled a bit for form but Sunday is a good opportunity for him to put himself back in the running for a spot in the 17.

Got to tempt people to take the 28.5 point head start

I can't disagree with you on that Chins. Does the word 'megalomanic' fit well with his personality ? I think it does.

 

[Kilkenny]

This is a game where clearly back at full strength, there will be no upset.

Hopefully Nathan comes thru all good, refreshed mentally and physically, we make a statement and play for the full 80 minutes.

Not that our for and against needs a boost, but certainly an opportunity for us to play some expansive footy and hopefully win in a commanding manner.

It appears the top eight is probably down to 9 teams, it is unlikely any side currently lower than the Cowboys can make the eight.

We can really cement our top four position with two wins against the Bulldogs and Sharks and then the challenge will be trying to lock in a top two position with more difficult games to finish the regular season.

The competition starts now and hopefully Sunday is a really positive performance.

On The Kennel they are predicting a new record for them in biggest loss. To beat it I think we need to crack 90, Ha ha. I cant see it personally, although I'd love to.

We got rain I think. Will bring the Dogs a bit closer.

That is silly. At the same time it is fans cushioning themselves for a loss and when things may go better than expected everyone can be happy. I’m expecting the Bulldogs to perform better than in recent weeks because of the Ciraldo and former players factor Particularly if Kikau plays. Not that I think he will influence the outcome just I think they may be up for a better overall performance.

I tend to think the Bulldogs will give there all, and maybe our winning margin may be less than some may expect. The Bulldogs at the 28.5 margin may not be a bad bet.

In the past few years, every time we've come up against a side really struggling like the Dogs have been we've been workmanlike, putting 40 odd on them, conceding next to nothing and barely breaking a sweat. If I was a betting man that's what I'd go with.

Fascinating article.

This game is NOT a gimme.

We'll win VERY easily.

Every team knows how we play, we might be the most predictable side in the comp but no one can stop it. Cam having some insights will mean very little

I’m not sure the chance of a few showers will influence the outcome.

Which means we will probably play like crap and win with a last gasp field goal

It will influence the margin.

 

[Kilkenny]

It will influence the margin.

Does it favour us or them. I’m not sure.

Im hopeful of a really strong performance on Sunday, what the winning margin may be is inconsequential as long as our performance is really solid.

 

[Kilkenny]

Which means we will probably play like crap and win with a last gasp field goal

I’ll be happy with the two points if that how it plays out.

Im confident we will perform well on Sunday.

I think when we talk about making a statement this weekend will be the start.

Three home games, the Storm will be a challenge no doubt, but I am confident we are going to see us rise to the occAsian.

I agree, but I remember a similar line of discussion in the leadup to round 9.

 

[Luke Bowden]

Bring it!

We want to play the best!

The Kennel is predicting it to be one of their biggest losses. I don't think that's a concern if its raining.

They lost 91 to 6 to St George in May 1935 and lost to Easts 87 to 7 the following week. Conceded 38 tries in 2 games.
