Well, here we are once again. It's Game Day!!! And once again it's a massive day for us with a huge game against the Eels tonight. It's a tough clash but tonight is all about proving our credentials. It's about proving we can compete with the big sides. We sent out a statement last week but tonight is a real chance to send out a warning shot and really put the competition on notice. We simply have to put in a good performance tonight.
It's not going to be easy that's for sure. Parra are a great side who are in the top four for a reason. Their roster is relatively healthy and they have stars all across the park that we're going to have to work our butts off to contain. Tonight was always going to be crucial through the middle of the field but with the backs we have missing tonight, it becomes even more important. We absolutely have to at least hold our own in the middle and contain their big guys like Paulo, RCG, Brown and Matterson. If we can do that, it'll go a long way towards a good performance. The job won't stop there though due to the class of their backline. Gutherson, Sivo, Jennings, Blake, Ferguson, Brown, Moses. That is one hell of a backline and we're really going to have to be on defensively if we want to stop them.
As I said, we are missing a few important players so that doesn't make it any easier but I really want to see the boys come out ready for a massive game because as I said, this is the chance to prove we can match it with the best. Junior had a good comment during the week that we need to really 'stick it' to the Eels and I like that attitude because we're the underdogs and we need to stick it to them from the very opening whistle. The boys need to do all the things I mentioned above as well as continue our dazzling attack. That won't be easy at all because Parra are a great defensive side. Comnpletion rate needs to be high again to give ourselves the best chance of doing that.
So yea, huge day, huge game tonight. The Eels always seem to lift and save their best for us ao I expect no different from them tonight. It's going to take one hell of an effort but I know our boys can do it!!!
