Craig Bellamy deliberately losing to the Raiders in order to dodge us and not get humiliated by the Eels again.

 

[Incorrect]

Im sure Russell has been suspended. Hip drop tackle on Docker Clay in Cup Semi V Dogs. Docker Clay ACL as a result.

You've got your hyphenated surname player mixed up.....

Who is going to NQ after we swat away the Raiders?

If we do get up against the raiders, we’re no chance against the cowboys. Another lost opportunity

Who is going to NQ after we swat away the Raiders?

I will be.

My dad is from Cairns and has family up there so we will go to Townsville for the weekend and my auntie and cousins will come down from Cairns for the game being cowboys fans.

Well that's alright then!

 

[Oscarman]

Which cheat ref are we going to get? Klein or Atkins?

 

[Bandwagon]

Waqa plays because despite being a shit-merkin against Penrith, the Raiders halves do not have those kind of kicks in them, and their kick chase and line speed is nothing like Penrith's, so there isn't the same level of pressure by a long shot.

Jakey will be picked, but like others I'd be advocating another forward on the bench, Raiders big men will challenge ours and even if we are on top fatigue will be a factor, another body to throw in the middle to reduce minutes as an option would be a plus. On top of which, should we win we are headed to play a game in conditions that will really push the big guys hard the following week. Having the option to give them less minutes should the game allow would again be advantageous.

If Moses doesn't play it's all moot, we'll need every other merkin to be at their best, and Jakey has to be there 'cause despite his kicking game not being great it's gonna be better than any other player we can name, and kicking will be super important. We don't wanna be relying on Gutho / Drown / Rheed to pick up the slack, their long kicks aren't good enough and you need to have the options either side of the ruck. I'd also prefer Drown to be in the kick chase rather than kicking, 'cause he's far less likely to be beaten one on one by a back on kick return.

Klein please our record with Atkins at commbank is terrible. 5 out of the 11 losses we have had there in 42 games he has been the ref.

Klein is a home town ref so 28k parramatta fans baying for blood should get us 50/50 calls.

Outside of missing the taylan may high shot which the touchie should have spotted as well. Sutton was ok on Friday we certainly can't complain.

Disagree.

We have been kissed on the pecker. We will play in the grand final. Draws opened up.

The big boys we avoid. This is about the best outcome one could hope for. Softest possible draw.
If you looked at Odds before ball was kicked this weekend Cowboys and Canberra where two longest.

We win both. If we didn't it would go down as one of the biggest chokes we've had.

Can Nostradamus Hindy strike again ??

My dream is 13-12 over Penrith.


Anyhows people complaining about Canberra and Cowboys. Much better then Storm,Souths, Penrith,Roosters.

Sharks I feel have far better ball players also and can slice you up. Cowboys attack is easier to read.Both sides play hot potato shit and conceeded 30 points.

 

[King-Gutho94]

I am not worried about playing the cowboys in a prelim from a team point of view.

It's the conditions up there would be the concern. 30 degrees with 80% humidity at night it's going to be a tough in that sense.

There is potential for stage fright with the cowboys as well withTownsville will be rocking like an origin at Suncorp with North Queenslanders baying for blue and gold or green blood.

It will be a hostile environment if we make it.

Yeahnagree to an extent .... I still would have rather played sharks IN SYDNEY if we get that far ... they are no better than north qld

[hindy111]

You do have to credit Cowboys and Canberra for winning a game not expected.
It is something we've never done in finals.

For mine this is our golden chance to get to Grand final.
