Year of the Eel

It will be April Fools and the joke will be on the Tigers fans who rock up as excited as they have been in a decade coming off a thumping win and thinking playing us without Moses will lead to a victory.

Its a good time to send them back to reality.

Fire up!
Bash 'em through the middle and let's see what our twinkletoes halves pairing can do.

A 15+ win puts us top of the table
A loss sees us panicking about life without Moses for 8-12 more weeks




*I'm pretty worried about our long kicking game and therefore being in bad field position all day

Tigers by 2

Time for our much vaunted forward pack to stand up, we need some collision chasing today!!!

 

[Avenger]

This is a perfect game for a player like Blaize Talagi to show everyone why he is the next big thing.

Without Moses kicking game it needs to be a smash up derby through the middle for us to get any platform to build on today.

So a lot of pressure on Joey Lussick to keep us rolling in the ruck today - and probably why we'll see (hopefully) good/early use of Hands to mix it up, keep Wests guessing, and conserve energies of both dummy halves so they can give their best when either are on through the 80mins.

Huge day for the middles, need to be disciplined, control the ruck and get rolling… then just play Parra footy with Dyl, Gutho and Blaize off the offloads around the ruck.

Bad feeling tbh

Yep, perfect recipe for this team to absolutely do a spud and shit the bed.

That was a pretty special day it felt as good winning a comp.

Though flogging Brisbane later in the year in the semi was better.

Ironically mum and dad booked a cruise before the draw come out and it left on Easter Monday that year not knowing it was 1st game at new stadium.

I was sending them up updates from the ground as they leaving the harbour before they lost reception at halftime I think they thought I was taking the piss saying it was 30-0 after like 30 mins.

I went to the last game at Cumberland, the first and last games at Parra Stadium and I was there for game 1 V Tigpies at the best RL Stadium in Australia.
All great memories but this game more than others holds a very special memory for me.
We f'n smashed em!

I'd take someone getting Handsy with me for a solid 5 mins ffs!!

Fire up, Merkins!
