If Ricky Stuart tipped Parramatta then thats good enough for me. I feel very excited about this game.
Thorman and Witt will work well together; at the very least they will create opportunities and each has already shown that they can handle the pressure. Thorman to me is not a greedy half back and will pass to his second receiver.
Vella will have a good game and expect big things from Hindmarsh after an ordinary SOO I.
The back line is a big worry especially the pairing of Brett Anderson and Ashley Graham. Three fullbacks and a lock to serve the back line. At least we will be safe under the high ball (unless they spend all day running into each other). Dean Widders only knows one way, forward, he's got a good step and is fast, if they get the ball out wide and watch the intercepts count on Luke Burt to score a try or two.
Like the Idea of Lee Hopkins in the second row, and please someone run off Tsoulos he has a good off load that we have not been taking advantage of.
Expect errors, that is a good thing if the team is trying, in the past we have been playing to safe, forget the completion rate; broken play will be our strength.
If Parramatta use the inside pass and off load we will have success
