So what have we learnt

[chopstiks]

Melbourne and Dragons have both shown what rattles Souffs - the immediate intensity and playing like theres no tomorrow, straight from the word go. No stuffing about.

[takethe 2]

If we play as discuplined as we did against the sharks, we win. We have to dominate time with the ball.

[chopstiks]

If it is tight near the end, the Burgess twins are near unstoppable working it into field postion for a field goal.
Sam Burgess has been off for two weeks, what are the odds of him being off again ?
Reynolds short kicking game is good, but a few very poor kicks when he was near halfway, WE MUST PRESSURE HIM ALL NIGHT as Cody Walker does little to no kicking.
Nene was a beast tonight working from dummy half, their big pack can be worked over with our outside backs off quick play the balls.
Finally, COMPLETE COMPLETE, make them work out of their half constantly, they look poor when doing so

But we have 1 thing they don't ..... Cronk.

They'll be up Reynolds arse all week by the looks. good.

I agree and obviously we can win . Like others have said just need to be up in their face all night and rattle Reynolds where possible. A few times tonight they were going to be shut down on the last only to get an offload away , then a kick

[Tommy Smith]

I'm tipping Fergo for MotM. His hard runs will win us the game.

20+ runs for 250m to rip Souffs to shreds up the guts early in sets.

Conversely Souffs don't have strong wingers of their own so we need to crush them on tackle 1 and 2 in the same manner they did to us in 2014. Cronk find grass, drag the farkers back early in the count and limit Cook in the aftermath.

Souffs will need a few late tackle pens to rescue them.

[Dummy half]

Just expect a MASSIVE penalty count against us

[mattyh]

im still scarred from last years prelim so no comment

Jennings is their biggest metre eater and is 6ft3 and 104kg, I think he is big.

[stringaz]

If anything we need to change from last years prelim is defending our errors/ penalties conceded. Its natural thing wether or not the refs are dodgy, you're going to spend time at your own end. At least latrell won't be kicking out on the full.

High completion rate, good defense. Whats the weather going to be?

Agree, we don't handle the offload too well either, and souths love it.
If our forwards could not turn their backs either, leaving d cook with a free roam, that would be an improvement.

[Danish]

I learned that Souths have got nothing in attack. Weather he openin 20 when all their fat **** forwards tire out and the rest of their game falls to pieces.

If we play like we have all year, we’ll win comfortably

[Thirteen]

If our forwards go better than theirs we win. Last prelim final our forwards were shit.

[The Brain]

Poor old Steelers have their very own Mitch Pearce in Hunt.

[roosterproud]

Shut the 2nd phase down. Lock the ball up. Thats how souffs won tonite

[NorfolkStreetKid]

I reckon we will absolutely flog them, and the Storm will flog Cronulla, then we will have a great Grand Final which will go down to the wire.
