Round 18 VS Dragons

We need to keep the streak going here. I'd like to see Cleary & Lui start & give Jimmy a rest.

I agree although Ivan said in his post match press conference that it'll mostly be rest from training he'll get.

Start Jimmy, be up by 40 at halftime, rest Jimmy.

I think Mary is planning an ambush. This won't be any walkover.

Coming off such a terrible game I am more worried about them bouncing back and having a decent gamethen if they had played well against the Raiders.

We can definitely win this. But we need to take them seriously. With Raiders the week after. This win is extra important IMO. Raiders game will beour toughest in months.

If Mary was capable of planning such a thing his Origin studded team wouldn't be deep in the bottom 4.

That said they've got good enough players to beat anybody. Anything could happen.

Id be more worried about his if Mary got sacked this week.

No reason we shouldn't smash them. Short turnaround for them, Injuries and they are just an ordinary team

26-10 for me. With 4 penalty goals.

Expecting a win, we are better in the effort areas. Raiders back 5 were good but not great, we only need to match that to score points. Very weak on the fringes. Big pack and probably better than ours but we just need to handle them.

No Latimore but Graham could return.

They didn't play 80 minutes yesterday so I don't count the short turn around.

 

[Panfa]

Mary still thinks they can win the comp the guy is a dreamer cant win a comp if you cant make the semis paul wake up you fool.

If we want to be taken seriously, we win this game - simple as that

6 in a row won’t mean much if we can’t beat a team that we are likely to be duelling with for a spot in the 8.

We're on a 6 game winning streak. It has to come to an end eventually, but yes, this week we need to win.

Saints are a boxer who is wobbling against the ropes. If we cant fire the knockout punch then we are no better.

Their confidence must be pretty low right now.

School holidays, 8pm.

Platinum and Gold tickets unavailable now so can't be too bad a crowd. Will have to see how the budget is and drive down

 

[Luke Bowden]

With Cleary back, who comes off the bench?

I suspect Ivan will pick.
14.Egan
15.Luai
16.Leota
17.RCG

He seems to like that.

I suspect Jed will be back to Canterbury Cup.

History would suggest this.

Hate Luai on the bench normally, but this week it makes some sense with Cleary being back from injury & Maloney exhausted.

I think your right unfortunately. Although neither Egan or Luai deserve to be dropped, we are going to be smashed by the better forward packs if both remain as part of the ongoing bench rotation.
