Rnd 1 vs Warriors

[Gronk]

Pou says we're up for it because the coach says we are. Of course if the coach said that we weren't up for it, then Pou would agree with him there too. After all he's the coach and we're not.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

That's a good point, Gronk. The coach certainly knows more about the team, and the game overall, than any of us.

I wish he posted here more often.

 

[The Colonel]

Given the size of the Warriors I would hope our game is faster and we can run their big forwards around early....

 

[Poupou Escobar]

And hope they forget to sub them off when they get tired.

 

[Fast Eddie]

Our massive forward pack will tire quickly after being run round by Parra and start playing razzle dazzle catch up footy.

Are the Warriors forwards really that big or is it a similar generalisation to Parra fans sporting a mullet? That Tookey dude was signed by Hay years ago.

 

[hindy111]

Whats wrong with a mullet?

 

[eels81236]

Nothing. I wore one with pride in the late 80's.

The "big Warriors forwards" thing is the second biggest myth in the NRL after Mitchell Pearce. More mobile than anything

but first we have to have enough possession and field position to run them around

Good. Jarryd didn't play for the Bulldogs tonight so he's a chance for Sunday.

When you guys get the ball of the kick off, hopefully they will pass it from one side of the field to the other just to tire out the big Warriors forwards. And then for the next 79.45 minutes we can hear from the Fox commentating crew how the big Warriors forwards are tired.

Right you are. Going by player stats from the Warriors and Eels sites...

Warriors starting pack is 599kg
Eels starting pack is 614kg

That's not to say our pack is better, but we certainly don't lack size.

 

[strider]

but thats just because tim mannah has been eating all the christmas dinners in the offseason and put on 100kg - otherwise we'd be smaller

Add in hayne, semi, vai we are quite fat

Allgood could be our new Chris Armit. Highly overrated.

 

[Poupou Escobar]

Whatever merkin.

Agree - In his first year and half he slowly improved to the point I thought he is a first grader. Last year he went backwards. Doesn't bend the line or offload and in defense is soft. Id much rather Lassalo. He doe have size thou and is young enough but needs more leg drive
