Round 1 vs Eels

[mxlegend99]

This looks like a Captain to me.

Caption: Dad says you have to do what I say or you're in reserve grade next week.

If Egan needs a rest, maybe Cleary can fill in for a while when Jerome comes on. A bit of Hooking didn't hurt Andrew Johns' career.

Great idea but do you think Ivan will go for it?

Dunno Frog. He'd want to give Luia some game time but maybe Nathan could defend at hooker a bit better at this stage. They shouldn't see this as a demotion. Anyhow, see how Egan goes.

General rule if you want a successful season - don't f**k around with your first choice halves unless you have to.

 

[mxlegend99]

Well it says possible showers. Monday and Tues is fine so hopefully that means it will be dry for the game and Penrith surface is good. So might not be one of those shocking wet game. Still damp ball means bash up. Our kicking game is better so should help

So far its not looking good for the weather. Had a lot of rain the past few days and it was coming down very heavy overnight.

Could possibly ease up or stop for the game. But no way the surface is going to dry up. Its going to be an ugly game

we played well in the rain against Rabbitohs so hopefully we can do that again

 

[Blues Riff]

Their Captain's run.

Ours.

Dragons say hi.

 

[Panfa]

Our forwards need to muscle up big kick and chase in this weather we wont get a full house in this crap weather however i will be there rain hail or shine go the pennies

 

[Fangs]

Kicking game crucial today.

Took them 50 minutes but Tigers eventually worked out how to play in the rain yesterday. We have to be way smarter.

 

[PenrithPanther45]

Yep. Kick to corners early, turn them around, watch Fergo because his metres are crucial in games like this. No offloads (so not too bad Kikau is out in the end), just run it up and smash them through the middle. You'd think it'd be smarter if it is raining to carry someone else on the bench other than Luai - another big forward and hope Egan can play 80 - I'm not sure?

Jimmy should be able to control the game. He's experienced at playing to extreme conditions.

Not going to see much exciting footy today though. Or if we do it will likely come with a high error rate.

 

[Panfa]

Yeah forwards are an advantage in these types of games metres are not easy to come by need to watch shaun lanes offloads he did some damage in the trial mansour will take care of fergo

 

[Tronald Crump]

A win and no injuries please.

 

[Dodgy]

Hopefully the team isn't complacent about the Eels and makes a statement today.

It's inconvenient that the game is on at the same time as the GP. But we'll see what happens as far as my viewing goes.

Shit weather but can't waste the tickets.

The 2 points is that matters. Our halves and back 3 have them covered. That should be enough
