I’m not reading this. It’s far too long and you dribble.

I’ll go back and look at FrNklins post, I clearly missed it.

Miss a fair bit obviously... still find the time to tell people they are wrong without reading posts. What a person you are.

Been nervous all week for tomorrow.

I was at the melbourne game in melbs earlier this year at marvel.. which is just a brilliant stadium.

Sat high up in the stands behind the posts. Which was a different view but offered a different perspective.

Said on here before the game we had to go after big nelson and tire him out. He was highly effective in the opening of the game..

We started to target him but we really did do enough follow up plays.. it was so obvious watching that he was completley gassed... he failed to get to marker or back in the line before the ball was played about a dozen times but we seemed to go away from him after hed made a tackle..

I think especially coming out of our own end the instructions should be for the outside backs to go continuously at NAS and Tui. It might not look effective to begin with but they will tire quickly.

If we can take them out of the game, particularly NAS by making him exhausted working off the ball than it really nullifies his attack... and he is a huge weapon for them.

Anyway im excited we are full strength. Hope romey and tago are good to go.

Lets get it done boys.

To expand on this discipline wins finals. Peachey is the bottom of the list there in defence and with the odd penalty especially high tackles.

Yeah but if were marking say Saab and Koula then you need speed.

You would also need a backup hooker in the utility, So for balance is was what the side needed

I was on the piss standing on the concourse.

Melbourne came with a plan. They did pretty well putting pressure on Kenny and Cogger in particular. Beyond the first 20 minutes they just got overwhelmed by a great football side. That's usually how it goes for us when a team shoots out of the blocks quicker.

That week off is big for us. We will put in a special performance tomorrow.

I spoke about actual experiences I have had with actual recruiters and coaching staff.

I made 1 simple comment.

You’re offering your opinion and telling me I’m wrong???

Wake up to yourself.

Yesh they didnt help themselves tho with a lot of uncharacteristic melbourne errors after that first 20... they started perfect and punished us..

Yes it comes down to the pressure we put on...

If they can complete at 85-90% they will be a real challenge.

What are the odds on Luai riding the pine for the opening 20?

Less of a consideration these days with limited interchange but it's possible.

And not his decision.

Nelson is the guy but he is on the bench. So I think Luai starts.
Melbourne are scum to the bone it won't take a man NAS's size to twist his arm. Everyone needs to be watched and if they do our forwards need to throw punches. Some will say I'm being silly but it's the truth

I tend to agree. I have a sneaky feeling after watching Ivan's video today that Luai's scan were far better than anyone was expecting.

I believe it is not as big an injury as the one Cronk or Cleary suffered and played with.

I think Cleary has some 'plans' up his sleeves. Just a little smirk on his face told him..........strategies have been made and practised.


Still gunna be a tough game. Pelm finals always are.......just a feeling about Luai's injury. Also they have good cover on the bench with Garner and Cogger too.

Too old school no punches. But quite alot of jersey grabbing and some good fisting.

This might be the breaking point for another team who want to find a way to beat us. Cronulla got to Melbourne years ago by playing a bit rough. I'm not feeling it in the lead up however.
