TEAM LIST Round 5 vs Parra

[Halbrowne61]

I hope we have prepared for early grubbers into the in-goal from Moses & Pezet.

1 due to their centre/winger speed &
2 put our edges in two minds in defence as game wears on.

Very good point BWG.

If Moses is kicking from the 30m-35m regularly we are good shape. If they are rolling and bombing from halfway then it's more to them. There afterwards arnt as good.and attacking Kelly's side is a must. He's terrible at defence.

Moses clearly the danger man

I would be telling Sam Fainu to make his afternoon hell, run at him every time you can, smash him after he kicks, Moses will start crying in no time.

I think (hope) that Moses is not as much a threat at the moment. I have watched a few of Parra’s games and he doesn’t seem to want to run - in fact he seems to be reticent to be tackled. I reckon he is carrying an injury. Yes, he can still kick and pass at the line but a Moses who doesn’t run significantly reduces the danger to us.

When we talk about must win games, the next two are definitely those. Whilst only round 5 and 6, a win in both would put us about 4 points clear of 5th which would be a massive advantage

Not wrong, we desperately need to beat the Slimey's today and Newcastle next Sunday which would put us ahead of the Knights on the table.

Lose both game and Newcastle have a 4 point lead on the table over us.

Do not under estimate how big this is because this could be a defining period in our season and where we finish at season's end.

I’m liking the Knights doing well. Watching yesterday’s game Knight V Raiders. Both those teams didn’t look to have the same level of defence as the WTs. If we continue to keep up the same effort in defence as we have for our first three games we should be able to beat both Parra and the Knights

I was at the Panthers v Eels match, Moses looked cooked, limping after every play. Definitely not 100%

Hope big Roycey tramples over the top of him like a high speed buffalo.

Yep, we lost a game we should have won v the bunnies.
If we want to make the 8 we have to win games against struggling teams.

Just worried about the ref

Now that's a good idea.

If we are loosing due to the ref... Take the ref out that game.

Sure we will loose a player for awhile, sure we will loose a game we were going to loose anyway.

So we get rid of the few refs that always rule against us! Ofcourse this won't work, I don't care, stupid refs sometimes deserve to get hit.

Starford looking good from what ive seen.
Andrews just took the line on 10m out and scored.

[cqtiger]

I just want to win more than one in a row

 

[69-05-41]

I'm getting in early and giving 3 points to the Klown in the box on behalf of Slime supporters. Looking forward to being dudded by some random rule that we have not seen since 1908 and will not see again after today.

 

[liltiger]

Fingers crossed we can carry our form from last week. Usually after a gutsy win we lose the following week by 20. Hopefully its all in the past

Is this the Official Debut of the White Jersey???

Agreed, but are the Bunnies a struggling team?

They should be. Yet they just took down the dogs 32/24.

The Bunnies game worried me, it was pretty even and we couldn't come up with the goods. We seemed to have learned and developed a little more grit.

They (bunnies) were dreadful in that game.
We should have beat them.
