TEAM LIST Round 5 vs Parra

[Lestronge]

Kelma's running game can quite often more than make up for any defensive lapses or deficiencies that he has during a game.

Should never be taken too lightly, can be very dangerous with ball in hand.

That is never true . How do I know ? Our winning percentage when he played for us. . If you’re the reason for 2-3 tries a game and you set up 1-2 , or even if it’s 2-3 , you’ve just expelled a whole bunch of wasted energy .

It’s Parra and Mitch is playing.
He is due for a breakout game.

Us fans should never be confident.

I just want us to continue to build & play our style as we have been. Focus on us and leverage the good work from the other games. Fight & compete - if we do we will have more than a fair crack to win this one.

The start is important, we can’t keep giving up field position and multiple scoring chances early which had happened in every game. Been lucky we haven’t been out of the game at the 20min mark in all games. Parra is a confidence and momentum team so if we control that we should be ok.

Yeah man, I suppose it depends on your individual palate, but doubt you can mask the slime with herbs, it permeates from deep in the bones.

I've just looked more closely at the Parra lineup and they really are quite ordinary. There's not much quality in their forwards or backs and I think our roster is far superior. It must be the venue and Parrra's win against Brisbane that puts them in front in the betting.
However, Moses is the key. If he is allowed to take over a game and generally pull the strings, the rest of the Eels will follow. He has to be shut down. We have to turn up with a tough mind set, continue the fast defensive line and build pressure by kicking to the corners. If we do this, the attacking opportunities will come. We would be wise to play it through the forwards by ploughing up the guts then, in later tackles, have Madden straighten things for Douehi and the rest of the backs. All of this is obvious but maybe we have a better team and attitude to actually do it this time.

I think Bula is a big chance of scoring off an offload through the middle. That Twal offload to Bula was sublime.

I have watched Twal offload to Bula about 20 times still can believe it

All this teams needs to beat the eels is to continue improving their attack and defence as it is still early days of the season,but most importantly ..play for each other and stick to Benji's game plan and structure..
This team has grit,stamina and heart and that's what Rugby league thrives on..Tigers to win..👍🐅

Eel is like manure,you can cook it any way you like and add as many condiments as is possible but you can't hide it's disgusting taste.I have eaten it once and never again, eel is horrendous.

You watch Moses get in the refs ear all afternoon.. absolutely does my head in .. might as well give him a whistle 😮‍💨

I don't suppose you have all the stats to back up those claims.

 

[RydeTide]

This season so far showed you can never be to certain who would of thought we beat Warriors by 18 in NZ who were 1st at the time after starting down 10-0 or Knights beat Bulldogs at home with half their cap out. So never get too confident.

It’s definitely Moses, he could trot out with a park footy side and probably cane us, always plays with a chip on his shoulder vs us

Our D will be the Difference

Still think our edges are a worry.
