TEAM LIST Round 4 vs. Eels

[old_man_tiger]

Like many I have doubts starting to creep in but stuff that and stuff Parra let's go.

 

[supercoach]

All comes down to possession and possession comes down to discipline and quality defence. Simple game plan and a good kicking game will have us in the contest

Overcoming the Easter Monday packed 30k home ground advantage will be just as big an obstacle as their impressive on paper forward pack, so our start will be more important than ever.

If they are allowed get to their fronts in the early sets, the six agains and penalties will be coming thick and fast.

A win by 6 or more would be nice, seeing WT move to fourth on the ladder and the highest position of the bye teams

Bench worries me. They have been starting Paulo from the bench and bringing him and Matterson on again Seyfarth and Fainu is a big worry although their other 2 are fairly useless.

Don't stress - we will be up by 20 by then 😉

 

[Curaeus]

Be the biggest crowd some of our young blokes have ever played in front of and most are likely to be rabid Eels fans so let's hope they won't be overawed by the occasion. Hope the boys can jag a win.

It’s quite obvious how the Eels will play, they will try and over power us with strong hard running and quick play the ball.
The test for us is to meet them and hit hard in defence, limit their roll on, limit their set restart and penalties.
We have to finish at least even in the yardage battle to give our attack a fair chance.

They call it "Line Speed".
It needs to be up to the task.

Cut down browns time like we did last week against cronulla

 

[supercoach]

To lazy to go back and check the stats, but it seems to me most of our wins in the past five years have been night games can’t remember to many day time wins in the past five years. I guess most of our games have been at night, but still think we have a very average record in day games

 

[BrissieTiger67]

Spell check?

AI still seems a bit janky with full word creation 😉

 

[bradexl]

I think the guys will shape up and have a dig but I'm concerned about the influence of the 30k crowd over the ref (bad calls going against us and 50/50s going eels way). In the past we havnt handled this well and drop our heads. Anyway, just hope we get a fair go.

Stuck un darling harbour...train ride home....

 

[weststigers]

Parra have let in 24 and 26 points against Penrith and Manly in the last 2 weeks. 8 against the Dogs.

Their defence without Moses doesn't change and I think most teams would struggle to hold Manly and Penrith to low scores.

We have crumbled when teams have tried to bash is in the forwards and Parra have the pack for that. I think they will try to beat us with a power game with Moses absent.

It will be interesting to see if we are a one week wonder.

[upthetigers]

Cut down browns time like we did last week against cronulla

100% like we always used to go after Thurston. Limit the offloads and browns involvement and we go a long way to winning this game.

 

[Tucker]

Benji is saying all the right things. Looks determined, yet poised.
Lets hope the boys fully committ.
