Round 8 v Tigers

[SaintPauli]

We really need this win. Home game should get it done.

Guys we will bounce back tomorrow and in a comfortable way..will give us a 4 point cushion from the 9th team once we do the business..

Absolutely!

Even after a loss you feel you are more the wiser for listening, about the team and its performances.

yep..no cliches, no "sticking to the process", no excuses, no current coach dribble,
no pumping his tyres about being in the 8 and no looking ahead banking on 3 out of the next 5 to hold our position in the 8 like his predecessor etc etc
Just plain stuff as he sees it.

I know he is a Rooster , but nevertheless a sad ending to what was a remarkable career as one of the very best wingers of the modern era . Hopefully he can get himself back onto the field later in the season , but those types of injuries are usually the death knell for a player , more so one of his age .

Game day!
Very nervous about this one.
It’s one we need to win.
Back to basics. High completions and tight defence. Quick line speed, good attitude. Don’t try too hard.
Get the ball in Bird and Lomax hands as much as possible. Bring Dufty into the game.
If the back three, namely Duff, can catch the swirling Doueihi bombs all day we should be OK.
If we lose, I will be gutted.

The Jet is grounded and Leilua under an injury cloud. We need to turn up as though we are facing a top 4 side. This is a must win game, as is the bulldogs before facing Melbourne in magic round. If Hook wants to experiment again the Bulldogs would be his chance not magic round. If Feagai has a good run while Rava is out he might be tempted to put him at left centre and move Bird into 5/8 at Normans expense. A man is allowed to dream right?

The Jet and Leilua are their two worst players, if they don’t play we will have to be sharper.
I know Tigers fans are stoked Jet is out.

Please God, no last minute changes like last week. Unless Hook has managed to successfully clone Bath's Babes, all bulked up, covered in tatts and mullets and ready to rip and tear in a way that the current mob don't seem to be able to manage for more than two weeks at a time.

Depends who replaces them I guess. If players were really jumping out though one would have thought they would be picked by now given the Tigers season and Madge's love of the axe. My main point was that I hope we are not complacent.

Generally if you bring a newbie in they add some energy & enthusiasm to the team.

IIf Kerr has another bad game I think he needs to be dropped

Kerr, should not be playing back row. He's a prop at best. Has no speed off the mark. To slow in all his lateral movements. Reaction time is to slow in defense. The opposition just turn him inside out. Put him back in the middle where he belongs, off the bench.

Yes this can be true and hope it is so for Feagai but the good teams like Melbourne and the Rorters would give that new a combo a good working over to exploit any potential weakness/inexperience in defence. Lets hope the Bird/Ramsey combo can give the Talau/Cini combo a good test.

Only the roosters could find a way to fit them under the cap so it won't be happening sorry to break it to you.

Looking at their side on paper we should lap them down at WIN stadium, that’s why I am nervous.
