What’s going to happen round 3

[Cairnstigers]

Edric Lee will show Nofoaluma who's the boss
Mitchell and Lee will combine and help set up 3 tries

That'll be miraculous seeing Edric Lee is not in the 21.

What a reprieve
I still think they will kick to Nofoaluma’s wing
They had alot of success there last time

99% confident that the Knights will weather the initial 15 minutes wests throw at them and then steam roll though the middle. A score line of 28-6 Knights way.

BUT! That 1% is what keeps me coming back.

Tigers are like a bad relationship **with great...ahhh.... intimate moments.**

Mate you must be into some pretty freaky things if that's the case lol.

This is going to fall back on how committed and creative our halves choose to be. You have confidence in your defence when you are scoring tries and vice versa. Our pack is going to hold its own and as others have said the slight change in our forward pack for this round might even make it an advantage, but our attacking players have to play on the front foot and do everything at pace and with intensity. That will decide if we win or not imo.

yep that's basically it. I noticed that the Roosters never had to face the pressure we did. In fact, they never do because they never allow a game to get into that situation. Our defence is good, BUT we constantly put ourselves in positions where we have to do a stupid amount of defence.

I think we *could* win but *probably* wont, but I don't reckon we'll get blown off the park.
Really think we'll be more competitive this week for 3 reasons:
1. Knights aren't a premiership contender, at least not at this stage. They're not like the top eschelon of teams who can pile on points in the blink of an eye so I think we'll be in the contest for a longer period.

B. Some dead-set legend on here mentioned a video session pointing out the lack of effort. The boys will be out to make amends for having their flaws high-lighted in front of eachother. They'll be concentrating on the 1%ers to try and bury the shame and redeem themselves.

2. BJ removed. He seems like a big personality so when his shoulders drop, others sense it and the defeatist negativity spreads. Not a vibe we want to have around younger players like AJ and TT who, aside from looking to older heads for leadership, have a more personal connection to BJ based on their Polynesian heritage.
Garner's body language is a dead give away when it's all gotten too hard for him at times also. Brooksy can lose confidence. Others might try too hard or overplay their hand. It can all mount up and with 30mins left its mentally 13 on 6 as per rounds 1 & 2. I think we'll see a marked improvement without him, although I'd still like to see him turn it around and be the beast we signed.

Aside from that, I think Liddsy and Brailey will play out of their skins and end up with a try a piece.

Edit: The Poly connection is an assumption based on personal experience.

This is the start of our season . We win this , then win against the eels and we are 2 and 2 , and our dismal start is a distant memory . Brooks and Laurie fire , our edges are tighter , and our middles rip in under our captain , with musgrove bringing the mongrel .

Maybe . But it’s a good dream . Rather than cry myself into the pillow like everyone else . How productive has that been . Too be honest it’s like watching a car crash . Really depressing .

I'm with you Strongee, but hey, maybe the car crash can be entertaining like a Top Gear type car crash.
