  • And we're in with a good chance!
  • Bloody great pack and bench.

  • Great news mbye has dropped out of the 17 with Tim Browne called in
  • Mbye out for the Dogs.
  • With the exception of the injured Robinson, this is the best side we can field.  It is the core of the team that has won their last 3 so I am happy. IDG is not there so space for a bigger forward on the bench to balance out the Bulldogs bench. Fantastic with Peats back to coordinate the play the ball and stiffen up around the ruck in defense

    My only concern is Kelly against Reynolds, but Kelly has been playing solid without being outstanding. All we need him to do is follow the game plan,get the ball outwide to the edges when it is needed and be solid in defence. I hope he is up to it. This will be his acid test and given he is looking for a contract extension he couldn't ask for a better game to make a statement.

    I am sure BA will be in the ears of all the boys driving home the importance of this match for the run to the finals. The forwards will be asked to measure up in defense and run with aggression in attack. The Backs will need to ensure they keep their defensive line straight and take advantage of the opportunities presented. The X Factor will be Sandow.. I think he will be out to make a statement that Parra's loss is Warringtons gain. I will be happy if he can show us that. 

    Th Boys are on a run and a win in this battle will make a major statement to everyone that Parra is on its way, look out.

    • Hopefully we don't keep sending the ball right. Give it to Semi!!
  • Perfect 4 forwards on the bench. No offense to de gois as he has been such good value for us but his place on the bench would be a waste.
  • Has BA been reading one eyed eel?
    • Mate, I have been saying this for a while, BA doesn't need to pay $100k+ for an assistant coach he just needs someone to follow the advise on 1EE for tactics and strategy.

      It took him a while to swap Norman to FB after we all said that Hopoate and Robinson were not working, since that move alone the side has been more structured and cohesive.

      This is a bit tongue in cheek but a lot of the commentary on 1EE has been spot on.
