[Demps]

keen

Glad we are not playing on the crap Homebush turf after it has bucketed down all night and still falling.

 

[Chainlink]

Going to be shocking this weekend. Toss a coin as to who will win this one. Tactically we need to take the chooks on through the middle and offer close play support. Players from both sides will be slipping over everywhere I reckon. Good kick chase will be vital.

Lets hope teddy puts his skates on..

Take your boat if your going. It's going to be interesting to watch.

Manly is copping it arm, Still building. I was down at the Surf club yesterday, the Surf would have been 4-6 foot and very messy, with bigger set coming through.
a digger from the council opened up the Queensie lagoon as it was ready to burst. Then some teenage kids shovels and boards came down tried to block it back up and create surg waves. The Police came to told them to clear off.

It's been bucketing down in Newtown since late last night. Blowing hard as well at times

If any one is brave enough to go and watch this game live you have my ultimate respect.

I watched a bit of the Swans vs Suns game and it was like water polo.

This will be a game fought out in the forwards so Teddy and JAC won't get a chance to shine today.

Chee-Kam in for Simona will toughen up the defence in the centre.

If Farah is rested than I like our bench today.

Should be a close game with a field goal could decide this game.

Stay safe and dry as you can all WT brave supporters.

If this storm keeps up and Buckets/JT let me do the team selection/ coaching ….
I'd make the whole team wear the longest old screw in studs ever made. (I'm currently watching people walking on a 45 degree angle along the beach front).
Plus I'd select an All-Forwards team. Dropping Broses and playing ET/ Lawrence /Sirro in the halves (hopefully one of them can kick). The only two backs I'd have are our best bomb catchers Teddy and Ado...maybe Rankin.
So if the wind is over 100 kms and torrential rain... then my backline would be
1\. Teddy 2\. Rankin, 3\. MCK, 4\. Lawrence ,5\. Carr, 6\. Sirro (maybe his last WT game), 7\. ET. Then the biggest , heaviest forwards that can hold a wet ball we can find. :smiley:
If the storm subsides down 40 knot winds , I might one of the halves play.

I reckon the weather suits the roosters. I think we have some skill in our team but today is going to be tough.

Starting work at 2pm. Afternoon shift at Artarmon station. Not going to be fun.

Station staff?
Used to love working city circle when wild weather hit…overheads down.. Out of order services and unhappy passenger everywhere

 

[happy_tiger]

I reckon the fact we have a lot of our regular side together will help , our combinations might be a bit slicker

Bigger concern is our kicking game and our back 3 , the teams that defuses more bombs today and middle third holds together wins in my opinion

Yeah mate, I work mainly wollstonecraft but do shifts anywhere between north Sydney and Hornsby. I must admit I enjoy the job when it hits the fan. Good chance of chaos today on the leafy north shore.

Its going to be one of those games where luck is going to play a big role. The gale force winds and rain have stopped in the last hour in Port Macquarie. Looking at the radar looks like most of the heavy stuff is around Newcastle now. Hopefully by kickoff most of the heavy rain and winds have passed.

I won't be surprised if they cancel the NYC game today as it will probably chop the field up too much.

 

[Tigerdon]

Wet weather football. Both sides will be going for Five hit ups and a bomb. At least we know what the game plan will be. Hopefully we can keep our composure better than the chooks.

 

[Geo]

Well…. I'm very excited because this will be the ULTIMATE EPIC 5 Hit Ups and a BOMB encounter the both Coaches are famous for...

Can't WAIT..

 

[Oggyz]

I'm at spit junction and the wind is ripping here. Not happy I'm going to miss the game.

 

[supercoach]

By 4pm the weather should be on the improve and the SFS has a great drainage system. Not saying it will be ideal, but should be way better than what we are experiencing now. Our kicking game is the key and for the most part of the season it has been below par

Been bucketing down massively all night/morning in the south west of Sydney. I've always wanted waterfront views.
