Round 20 vs St. George-Illawarra Dragons

[Leaguelegend20]

Here we are again, another week. We come into this game with a f**k-load more optimism . If we put our heads on we can really stick it to St George. I think Lawrence's injury will pull up okay, so he should play. I'm expecting to see:

1. Moses
2. 4-try Lulia
3. Lawrence
4. Simona
5. Richards
6. Austin
7. Brooks

8. Woods
9. Farah
10. Galloway
11. Sironen
12. Thompson
13. Blair

Interchange: Ava, Sue, Taupau, Gavet, Halatau, Akauola (with the final 2 to drop off).

In my opinion the game plan should be similar to last week. Roll them in the forwards, using our fantasy & flair to run around them when we are in their attacking quarters. Should be a good game. First time many of us will have wanted Benji to fail miserably, shall be a strange feeling.

The dragons are stronger than the dogs from 1 thru 7 but weaker in the pigs. I think our points will come up the middle and on the edge of the ruck, doubt we will be getting to many try's out wide.

Also our team have a habit of running hot and cold very important to get a roll going as at this time of the year it's all about momentum

 

[BrotherJim05]

Smash them straight up the middle relentlessly all night. Eventually they will tire and gaps will open.

We just need to watch our own backline defence. Marshall and Widdop will poke around and lay on some points if we are not careful

 

[magpie guy]

Here's to hoping that Richard's groin is 100% and he can get back to kicking goals. We really need those 4's to be 6's. Especially when our for and against is so poor.

 

[Tiger05]

I don't trust us to be consistent and disciplined however if we bash them in the forwards and then execute well we can win this one.

I'd prefer halatau in the centers then bodene. Bodenes very slow laterally, both Beale and Dugan are very quick and could carve him up.

If our forwards play to even 80% of their potential we should be too strong.

 

[Eddie.]

We should pound them up front.

As long as we keep our discipline im confident we will be in the Top 8 come 5pm Sunday.

 

[Fordy20]

I'm just hoping we don't get blown out of the match by the referees like we did against the Broncos and our second games against the Titans and Manly.

 

[benched tiger]

I hope the guys remember the first round....time for pay back !

 

[N.C.]

Doc says Lawrence is out. Who will play 4?

 

[Fordy20]

Halatau

It would be nice to actually blood a youngster who has the pace to play in the role, but I get the feeling our second tier cap is stuffed. It will be a hard day at the office with either Deano or Bodene filling the role. I would consider pushing big Pat or Lulia in one and putting Rowe on the wing

You guys are farked......

GO

GO what?

Great photo.:crazy:

 

[madunit]

Would love to see Fine get a run

 

[Vic Mackey]

Our second tier salary is exhausted

I hope we don't move bodene there, he has been too good at second row

I'd bring in halatau or even akauloa. Both would do a job, it's only Beale

 

[Tigerm]

Great results for us last night.

If we knock off the dragons & manly beat the warriors, we leave the bronco's & warriors behind, to be 7th on the ladder, if we beat the dragons by 55 points, we will be 6th......... EASY :lol:

 

[Mario chalmers]

i hope its Akaoula at right centre. He's a good ball runner and can play more or less the same role that Lawrence did last week. Also has an offload in him

I was at the VB cup game WT v Norths two weeks back and Akaoula was a class above every other bloke out there. Very damaging running off short balls close to the line

 

[Vic Mackey]

Some fans on another forum saying Rowe will come onto the wing and Lulia center. Kiss te 2 points goodbye if so.
