On paper I would say we have their backs measure, but thats all.....their forwards and halves look to have it on us....but we all know that on "paper" and on the "field" are two different propositions.

I suppose this game can be a gauge of some sorts as to where we are and where we are headin....last two weeks playing two of the top teams showed us something, that weve still got a long way to go to win anything serious.......the week prior playing the bottom team also showed us things could be oh so much worse....while Canberra are thereabouts with us on the ladder right now....much higher in confidence though at the moment.
Win or lose today I feel isnt the main objective.....an competitive effort and to be in the game at full time, whatever the outcome, would be a positive result...

Jeez that has to be 4 of the most ordinary starting halves in a game of footy this year!!

What do u mean BB?.I rate kerr quite highly and hope he lives up to
my expectations since i've been talkin him up.
wilson though......

We really need to make an impact off the bench 2nite and wouldn't mind
a few last minute changes.

:lol:

You're underrating Canberra's backs and halves too much.

I won't list the reasons why. Just wait and see tonight.

 

[daslacker]

I think you're underestimating us after our last 2 games against the 2 best teams
in the comp.
Since Matt john has been helping out your halves you's have varstly improved.
This will be a tough game.

Kerr, 2 games for a 100% record for Wests. Can he make it 3? We'll find out tonight ladies and Gentlemen. McClinden has been on fire recently, and has always been a livewire half. Shut him down, and the Tigers will be in the ball game. He tore the Broncos to shreds last week.

Big big opportunity for Bronson I think....he should follow Kerr round like a bad smell all nite...might even bag a try.

Cut the missed tackles....we give ourselves a chance.

Gobbso... Had you seen the game against the Raiders before you posted these comments?

Unfortunately no i hadn't. I'm wearing the egg on my face today mate. It was awful. I think he placed too much pressure on himself. Although, he wasn't the reason why we ended up of the receving end of the scoreline.
