Another huge week this week as we go up against the Broncos on Friday night. I say a huge week because in my opinion, this is one of those games we just have to win. We simply must win and walk away with the two points on Friday night, no excuses. It's also a big week because it's a big rivalry for us. Souths vs Brisbane has become a great rivalry in the infamous coaching swap and it is now a rivalry full of hate and spite. No doubt there will be fireworks come Friday night.
We will probably go in as favourites due to the Broncos' position on the ladder but I do genuinely believe this is a danger game. We can't afford to take them lightly in any way. They still have a very quality roster on paper and after the way they've been going, they'll be super fired up to turn it around against us so we need to be ready for that. They are capable of flicking the switch any week and putting in a good game. They still have dangerous players that can be hard to stop on their day such as Staggs, Croft, Milford, Haas and Fifita (who is a chance to return from injury this Round I think). We'll need to be on to stop those guys.
For us, we need to continue to build and improve. Last week was pretty bloody good but it wasn't perfect. I still don't think we've played well for a full 80 minutes yet so hopefully that is a focus. Our starts need to be better and then we need to maintain that rage for the whole game. I think the defence needs a bit of work for this week too and hopefully the attack, although good last week, will continue to improve. Would love Cody to back up his big game with a similar performance on Friday and hopefully Reyno is good to go. Hopefully our forwards will be fired up once again too as their pack is decent and it'll be a good battle there.
It's also our return to ANZ this week which will only add to the occasion.
It'll be another week of celebrating Indigenous culture for us too. I believe it is NAIDOC week. We always celebrate that well. The club has already confirmed that once again, we will be proudly wearing our Indigenous jersey on Friday night.
So yea, big week, we can do this!!
