Souths semi

[jeffdragon]

Injuries aside,nobody gave us a hope yesterday.
We lost graham and then jdb and did it without widdop when the broncs were coning back.
We are outsiders again.
Semi finals is a different beast.
Reynolds and Inglis arent 100% either.
Yedterday the team would have got a huge amount of confidence from the win
Enjoy the week after yesterday.,and the week ahead.
I will be getting my tickets this morning.
GO SAINTS.

Best part about this is souths have the pressure to perform. No one incl us fans have any expectations of winning the game.
Pressure is a funny thing

The bunnies will not be ambushed like the broncos.
We need to be in there faces all game.
They have extra day to turn to get ready.
We need our forwards to fire up again.
Then benny hunt to show again why we got him.
We will be underdogs but we will win if we show the commitment we showed yesterday.

Remember Reynolds shoulder looks ordinary also S Burgess and Inglis had a hard night.
They also have a few problems.

Widdop is a huge loss. I thoroughly underestimated his impact of the team, but it was clear to see yesterday. Our whole left side is a different beast when he is playing.

I just hope the boys come out firing again. It's hard to get up mentally in repeated weeks. A huge crowd will help, as it did yesterday.

Said elsewhere.

I’ve seen 2 vey effective semi final performances under Mary. Yesterday and the 2015 semi against the Dogs.

Both times, we left it all on the field. The boys are clearly pumped at the right time of year.

We’ll make a good account of ourselves, especially when we’ll be underdogs again. This side performs better when we’re not expected to win (like the first 2 months of the season).

Let's get out there in BIG numbers Dragons fans!!!

Tariq just needs to run at Reynolds in attack and defence.

And we need to shut down Walker’s offloads.

Hopefully graham goes after Sam early.

The prospect of graham vs Sam is very f**king exciting.

All year I've been impressed with James' composure, but this last week he just seems plain angry.

I think I like the angry version even more.

Criminal they have two days extra break, but it’s a huge player issue all round.

RLPA need to fight for no less than 6 days during the season and 7 days during the finals.

The NRL are f**ked! this should have been a Sunday game when theres nothing on! each team gets an extra day off...

Mickey, we need you to back Souffs mate.

 

[giboz71]

Lawrie and Mann need to be huge to make up for what we lose in Widdop and Vaughan.

Another performance from the 2 of them like yesterday will do nicely.

They were both outstanding.

 

[Crush]

Need to contain Cook.
Nullify the hooker and we go a long way towards winning.

The big question is though will Mary bring back Aitken or Nighty if fit? I hope Lomax isn't dropped, that would be crazy.

What are teams like after playing the storm? There was a time when playing a week after the storm most teams lost due to the physicality of the game.

Crush
I think Aitken will be fit.
Nighty not likely
To me go with mann in 6 aitken on the bench or not at all.
That is if both Graham ( only has ro pass hia protocol ) and JDB are both ok.
I think just gareth out

Both gi and Reynolds and carrying injuries but would be surprised if both don't play.
Rabbits have 48 hours head start .
But we will be ready
