Rd.27 v GC

[Iamback]

Yes it's the full strength roster minus cleary. Ivan said they need combinations to build unlike previous years which is proven by how unsettled the roster has been this season.

Outside of Moses. Everyone has missed games so should be fresher than normal

Well except our fullback who's shot to bits

He has two legs he should stop being soft.

I'd say with that it is like a bruise on the knee. Playing isn't making it worse and he is going to get a week off soon enough anyway.

If a player is playing next week then they need game time this week

It's Dyl. His ACL could be snapped off and he'd still play

If the Roosters weren’t just decimated I’d be more perplexed by the call to play Edwards but getting two games that should be winnable with a 6.5/10 performance and then a week off is probably the best prep for this side.

I’d say Dyl organising our defence even if he’s not at full fitness would be comparable to Cronk leading the Chooks around in the 19 grand final, it’ll be better than Laurie can do in the big games. Given how frail our edges have been at times, I think we need it.

The Roosters sustaining significant injuries a week out from the finals is just footy. It is what it is, we’ve sustained quite a few significant injury disruptions ourselves this season and you just have to deal with it and suck it up.

The competition is generally won by the side who are in good shape physically, minimal injuries and in good form, so on that basis the Storm appear to be the side to beat. They have deserved there minor premiership, have been the best and most consistent side in 2024 despite having had a few injury issues to some of there big guns.

First and foremost we need to secure the win on Saturday night and hopefully deliver a really strong performance, something we haven’t done enough this season.

If we lock up the home semi final who knows, anything can happen.
