      Is our defence out wide a worry without Manu?
      Is it a mistake relegating Lodge to the bench?
      Can we repeat last week?
      Will the game manager give souffs a lotta help?

          I'm heartened by Robbos comment that he feels our best game yet, is coming today. If that's the case, we will be just too hot for them.

          They will bring more physicality and intensity, and more attention to detail to the ruck today. You could tell they weren't screwed down for last week. Will likely backfire on them today though, our momentum is big and unchecked. Klein and Atkins teamed up last night and again today but switch roles unfortunately. Let them play footy Ash please, and the best team will win.

          Their dangers will come from offloads and Cook scooting from dummy half when our defender can't mark up. It always seems to me we concede more offloads than we make against the 'better' teams, would love to change that.

          Robbo didn't show his full hand last week like some have assumed when weighting the 'improvement' factor into this back-up fixture.

          We know what to do and how to do it now. I've got a lot of faith in where Robbo has us placed, and expect a good win today.

          The past few days our screens have been awash with red white and blue. A great omen. I know who her Majesty would be cheering for.

          The next chapter in our destiny awaits.

          Enjoy today everyone.

            Feeling edgy but at the same time quietly confident about our chances today if we get on top of their forwards then their backs won't be able to do much.
            Looking forward to being at the game it's time to get rid of the flithy pretentious vermin once & for all!

              I think they will be grubbier then usual and will niggle us to put us off our game. If we don’t stoop to their level and concentrate on our own game , we win.
              GO EASTS

                  I think our forwards are too strong up front for the bunnies and given space Keary has been back to his scheming best and pulling teams apart.
                  Teddy has been brilliant all year and so consistent in making yardage and Souths are missing Reynolds kicking game.
                  Whilst Souths will be better with some big names returning so will we with our wingers and Rads back. Joey is a massive loss but at least our centres are playing on their preferred sides and will do the job.
                  Sorry Robbo ill be screaming like a banshee for us to hammer Latrell and no regrets doing it.

                    Super nervous about today, and I’m tossing and turning on who I think will win. I’ve got no doubt we’re a better team, but injuries and the amount of juice left in our tank gives me hesitation.

                    I think marking Latrell well, and not giving them piggyback penalties are the main things we need to do. I think if we give them too many shots at our line, ultimately they’ll put points on. Keeping the game played in their end is the key. And I think we can do that, just have to be disciplined in the ruck.

                    Up the mighty Chooks.

                      Nervous but can't wait.

                      I will be there when the gates open to hopefully also enjoy watching the hens go to clear top of the ladder.

                      Sitting where the chookpen used to be. Still pissed that they moved the chookpen to the corner in 23. Dumb move, nobody gives the team on field better support than the pen.

                        So Keighran is in the 19. I wonder if he comes on for Hutcho once the sting is out of the game.

                        Hutcho provides.a bit more starch in defence but will tire and that's when he's vulnerable.

                            I’m still not overly confident with Manu defence, still runs out of the line and misses a few one on ones, but does manage to scramble back to make the tackle on second effort, it’s his attack that will be missed the most.

                            Teddy to have a big game today.

                              Walker too! Read Trell-Mit like a book last week and stabbed a few cheeky kicks behind him when he came forward in defence.

                              Hope Sua'ali'i, Keary, Crichton and the Butch brothers are the best on the field though.

                                There is also free public transport today so if you are getting ready to head out, no need to tap the Opal card apparently.
