We've done well, but we didn't exactly have a tough run in. Have a look at who each team played over that time. We've played no Top 4 teams. They've played 4 games against top 4 teams.

That's fair enough, however we can only beat the teams we play, and if you wanted to dig deeper you'd also need to go back and look at the form of each team played at the time of each game.

Which is a bit beside the point, which was to illustrate that at the back end of the season there's not been that great a difference in form between the two sides. and as good as the Storm is, they are not that far in front of us leading into this game.

It's definitely better beating moderate teams, than losing to good ones. No argument there. And I do think we have a credible chance tonight. Just got to absolutely give it to them, kick well and no f**k ups in our own half.

Not sure why it has been suggested you either grind or play expansion footy.

I reckon we can do both.

I see grinding, as us completing our sets without errors and kicking well.

However during our sets we still play our normally attacking game. That is normally a few offloads in our own half, occasional set play and go the short side if we have an over lap.

We don’t play that adventurous coming out of our own half. It’s just when we do get an offload away we are very good at the receiver spreading it wide where there is potentially an over lap.

Also with “grinding” we need to be patient attacking their line. Try to get a drop out.


Agree. And for us tonight, I think the magic word will be PATIENCE. Don't show the f#ckers ANY respect - but be PATIENT. If we can manage that balance, we'll win.
