Bookmakers frame markets on past form. We have lost the last six games against the Dogs We have a woeful record at ANZ. We rarely win without Hayne. All these stats have made Doggie punters load up and our fans wary. But if you just look at the two sides and the way the game will be played, we have far more scope for scoring than the Dogs do. For the Dogs their main scoring weapons, their halves are missing. Reading the Dogs website, Perret may not play so they may be missing three of their spine. Tolman contributes a lot in straightening attack and in defence. Their best forward attacker Jackson is in the centres. Ennis will dictate a lot of play so their attack will be concentrated in the middle. If they do get fancy going wide, mistakes are likely from new combinations. Our biggest minus is probably our kicking game as neither Sandow or Norman strike me as particularly accurate in the air. But Sandow has a long boot so kicks down the middle or for touch can apply pressure. The other negative could be lack of self-belief when playing without Hayne. If the players are confident, we will win. Oh and please don't try anything fancy in the first 10 minutes. Eels by 13+, paying $6.
