i'm guessing that after the drag-queens debacle there won't be too many over inflated egos around training at shark park this week, just the positive confidence of a team coming off a good win after performing well together.
i'm sure the guys will feel that they are underdogs, which i guess is good, just so long as they believe they are right in this game with the chooks and capable of springing another upset, which they certainly can do. i don't see a problem there with the attitude because i thought we really dug in against the scum, we just caught them on a red hot night.
most important agin will be our enthusiasm and commitment in defence for the FULL 80 minutes. if our forwards can match the chooks and get over the top of them then noddy and peach look in the mood to stick it up any team in attack.
it is true that the chooks fitness is superb so i agree field position will be crucial along with curbing our alarming dropped ball habits. we dropped two balls late in the first half at melbourne and gave up two tries to let them back in the game. the chooks will crucify us if we disrespect the ball like that again.
sticky's no fool and i'm terrified of what he's scheming up to run at our left wing. no doubt simmons is playing so he needs to spend about 40 hours this week on tackling practice and another 20 practising communication and drills with bailey. between times he should be locked up in a cage and fed raw meat and angry pills :lol:
i think hodges is still not 100% in the knee (or the head ;-) ). i've seen him walking around bondi recently heavily favouring his dodgy knee so i hope we run at him all night. once he gets rattled he's gooooooone
should be a cracker. here's hoping the boys can farewell freddy from shark park in the manner which he deserves !
