no excuses friday night Guerra/Maubs back

[Johnny Tobin]

Apart from the fact that they are our bunnies I think we will towel them up.

We simply cannot afford to lose the game.

I think we need 6 from the next 8 to make the top 2. One of those is Warriors away without Origin players so we can forget about that one.

[Kingsgrove-Loiner]

I think we'll give them a real touch up. Guerra has been a massive loss for us.

Looking forward to the inevitable bust up between JWH and Taupau as well!

[Spirit of 66]

Nonsense. There are any number of excuses that might come into play. This is a Friday night televised game and there will be forces at work to make it a competitive contest. Who knows what handicap we'll be saddled with?

[bondi paul]

hate to say it but the tigpies are due for a win over us - we have had the wood on them for a number of seasons and now they have our ex attacking coach taylor combined with the nrl engineering results we will be up against the forces that be.

[bondi-boy]

If we don't win this match then that's it for us for this season...and major changes will have to be made, with a view to winning next season.

[Game Fowl]

Guerra has been a massive loss for us.

This will show us how much Che cleans up , not sure we will win comfortably cause the Tigpies are capable of anything at the moment playing on youth and passion.

As for Tapow and JWH it should be great to watch , one has the Refs blowing the Pea out of the whistle while the other is yet to draw their attention.

Interesting thing about the Guerra enforced rest was I felt it was actually timely as he appeared to start the year a bit flat.

The freshen up might just get him back in the right zone.

[roosterproud]

Will be an interesting game.
Last game wests played they gave away 10 penalties to the dullbogs and the week before they gave away 7 to the faiders.
wests also have received 19 more penalties than us over 8 weeks and have given away 9 more penalties. so that shows they have poor disaplin like us and must also be deliberately giving away penalties as a strategy.

[TheLoneRooster]

.... so that shows they have poor disaplin like us and must also be deliberately giving away penalties as a strategy.

I take it your tongue is firmly in cheek here roosterproud.
Can't have other teams pinching this brilliant Roosters tactic and also gaining the unfair advantage that deliberately giving away penalties confers upon the conceder. The NRL must put a stop to this tactic.

[Thirteen]

Would be nice to finally win a game without our X-Factor Fergo.

Yes its definitely an unfair advantage we have conceding so many penalties.

I think the refs should call our bluff and just not penalise us....that would teach us.
