Round 8 Vs the DOGS

[franklin2323]

ANZAC Day meant no Oztag. I didn't get any goss this week to know either way

Some clown called steamboat farmer on Panther Pride

Ok thanks. I'm worried his neck is worse than they said after the game. I really hope not.

We may play better without him. Well if our pack turn up RCG 19 tackles and 4 misses for example won't win us many games. Hopefully Klemmer fires them up and we blow them away

This misses aren't great but they are almost all running out of the line and trying to hit hard.

Maloney misses plenty doing that. Everyone was off but everyone hates the Dogs so should fire them up

 

[The Realist]

Yeah he's not there yet but he's already the best defensive fullback we have had in 20+ years

I call a bit of BS on that one. For the brief time we had Michael Gordon at fullback, he was it. But in terms of dedicated fullbacks you are probably right.

After reading this I expect Woods may be very sore tomorrow.

If he plays his normal game of turning his back on the defensive line he will regret it.
If they try to single out RCG, JFH, kikau and the rest of the boys will be fired up and will let them know about it.

I think we will be a bit quicker because of the service from hooker but I still don't like seeing players injured, even more so players I like.

Sounds like it will be a good test of our pack. They destroyed Roosters up front but couldn't capitalise.

Atleast RCG hurts his opponents with the work he does. Players dont want to run at him or tackle him. He. Kikau and JFH are pretty intimidating. Take them out and our pack wouldnt strike fear into any side IMO.

That said he's definitely not at his best right now. I wouldnt rate his Origin chances all that highly if everyone was fit and choosing NSW. Our front row arent making metres and thats the first thing rep teams look at.

There wouldn't be a player in the comp that hasn't got some kind of injury. No doubt he trains light through the week to manage it

More talk of Wallace being out

 

[herbert henry1908]

Don’t wish ill on the guy but at least it’ll give Griffin a chance to see how we perform without him.

 

[franklin2323]

If so. Hope we are defending for a long stint as some stage. See how the middle holds up to get a true test

 

[Sime_11]

if he is out for tonight's game - would we assume Katoa to 9 and Egan as 14?

Seems likely. Should be fun to watch.

both should be kicking before Peachey hopefully

 

[betcats]

Katoa has a very nice short kicking game so that should help Jimmy, not sure about his long kicking though.

 

[unKwn]

Explains why they're celebrating peaches 100th on Insta but not wallaces. I reckon he'll be out unfortunately.

 

[Fangs]

Expecting a big response from the boys tonight. Last week was very poor.
