Team v Raiders

[SpaceMonkey]

So apparently the team is staying on over there and we’ve been given access to call up Qld cup players to the squad too. Wonder how long morale will hold up.

a pay cut is fair enough, that’s gonna happen to most of us. I’m on my base rate while self isolating which is about 65-70% of what I usually actually earn so that 30% figure sounds about right. If that’s as painful as the next few months get I’ll count myself pretty lucky.

Depends who you want to beleive but NRL will go broke if more than 3 months off and tv deals don't pay as no play.

Wonder if they win (which they wont) would make them more likely to stay?

Let me get this right. Are they saying we can call up any Qld Cup player? But what if they’re aligned with Melbourne, Brisbane, NthQ etc? There’s probably a few players out there that would certainly bolster our team even without this CV pandemic going on.

that is a way better forward pack imo.

Backline is a mess which is understandable

 

[Beavers Headgear]

Why keep Pulu over there away from his family when he will never get a run, there is more chance of Brady Malam getting a start

Could do with another prop

We have trouble keeping our morale up when the cards are in our favour.

God help us now.

 

[RHYTHM AND STEALTH]

This could be a massacre

how does that work with the travel restrictions? Curran is presumably an Aus citizen so would be ok but the others wouldn’t be residents I’d have thought, though maybe the fact that they work in Australia regularly qualifies them?

Those 4 players all left on Tuesday. No problems with restrictions. They are currently in 14 day self-isolation. I believe that none will be ready to play until Round 5 anyway due to injuries. I guess when they are fit to return, the will have carried out the requirements re isolation etc.

ah ok that makes sense then, I flew in the same day.

A few positives that might come from this:

We are going to hav the tightest, most focussed player group in the comp soon. No outside distractions, and hopefully they’ll be maximising the amount of training to keep them busy. Nobody is gonna be turning up to training late.
We’ll be better conditioned to play in warm conditions than usual, being based in them full-time.
I’m already seeing other fans getting behind us. Hopefully the boys see that goodwill and get additional motivation from it.

I’d argue the complete opposite. We’ll be less focused, out of our home routines, away and missing family, completely distracted.

Don't be the glass half empty kinda guy...
Can you just imagine the meters Blair will eat when his mind is on the job?

My prediction:
Adam Blair
Running meters: 44
Tackles: 31

To be fair, aside from missed tackles his stats were decent last game

 

[Rich102]

The disappointing thing for me last week was some of the forwards taking the first two tackles in a set to get back onside. They are not as fit as last year and the Knights were way fitter.

 

[Shaun Hewitt]

Adam Keighan in the centres??

I got the tackles correct.

31 tackles
88 meters.

Lets not mention the missed tackles and errors tho
