TEAM LIST Round 5 vs. Dolphins

[tigerballs]

Fortunately the NRL don't have a 4 day turn around and I hope we are no longer The Easybeats because If that was the case I would have Friday on my mind.

Right now I've got Saturday Night Fever.

Terrible Hank. That's terrible....

@pawsandclaws1 been saying for months Seyf is legitimate... no one wanted to believe 😆

You've backed him too Demps. He's a keeper for sure.

 

[Demps]

You've backed him too Demps. He's a keeper for sure.

Yeah man.

Needs to be consistent.
I see some talent.
He'll win everyone over if he keeps turning up.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

Seyfarth is one of those guys everybody loves when we are winning, and is the first to get used as a punching bag when we lose.

[lathami]

How did Latu look or appear?

He looked ok, he was mostly on the opposed side with the rest of the bench.
The all blacks player is huge, tall and built. If he gets it right he could be a big addition to the team. It’s a big if, he needs to work hard on using his size with power runs. Hopefully that comes in time.

 

[Tucker]

Yeah man.

Needs to be consistent.
I see some talent.
He'll win everyone over if he keeps turning up.

Thats the problem though. He shows glimpses and then goes to mud for weeks before showing glimpses again.

 

[Demps]

Thats the problem though. He shows glimpses and then goes to mud for weeks before showing glimpses again.

Yeah... hopeful he will mature as a player this year.

Consistency is key.
The players seem to be very receptive to Benji, so hopefully Seyfarth continues his good form and we see positive development.

That can also come with being an average player. No ability to be consistent.

 

[Jolls]

Seyfath has played 50 games now so he's a real first grader now - all up from here

 

[BZN]

That team didn't have anywhere near the talent we have today... Say what you want about Cleary but he had a rubbish team playing well above their standards that year.

This was the team Round 1 2018:

Anyone know what happened to Matt McIlwrick?
I have a vague recollection of him playing a few good games for us.

I expect that the weather will suit us more that the Phins. Sullivan/Latu around waterlogged forwards is a great advantage to us if we can win the middle. While the Phins have some great outside backs their effectiveness will be reduced by the weather and our defence out wide has been pretty good over the last two weeks.

By the same token weather is a great equaliser; as we saw against Penrith last year.

I expect it to be close but the grit we have shown in defence should give us the foundation to work from. If we can win control the ball and rotate our middles well and at the same time rotate Api, Bud and Latu to have fresh legs in attack I think we have an edge. Using Bula up the middle as well in wet conditions could be an Ace.

If the weather is as predicted this game should be won by passes that don't travel much more than a metre!

Hoppefully with the wet the line speed won't be such an issue for us and we will compete more without having to infringe like against Parra
A decent share of possesion and keeping it tight.... As you say shorter passes... A good. Kicking game from Sezar should hopefully keep us well in this game

 

[innsaneink]

He'll win everyone over if he keeps turning up.

It'sike someone keyed his car late last season... He suddenly found this aggro we'd never seen before

Thanks.

I can't see any humor in this at all.
That's called a one punch attack on an innocent and unsuspecting person, which in many cases causes death.

 

[Speed2burn]

frustrating to lose Galvin.

Use your running game Bud, let Sezar handle the rest

 

[BrissieTiger67]

Well can confirm , it is blue skies and sun here in brissie and rain has dropped to 7% chance. Maybe a bit later today but nothing like Newcastle was getting. Expect the ground will dry out today...Should be a fast track.

It’s sunny in Sydney as well. Heard Ginane say last night today was going to be even worse than today. Don’t know what radar he was looking at.

 

[Year_of_the_Tiger]

BOM and Willy Weather suggesting we’ll likely have rain in Brisbane this afternoon. Maybe 5-15mm.

 

[JB9918]

I wouldn't mind a wet track their strike weapon is the hammer. Slow him up & Sezer to kick them to death. We played good wet weather footy last year at Bathurst.
