Watch them turn up and play better than they have in the last 10 games.

They can play as good as they want, we're still gonna smash them.

A big part of it is getting Staggs and Shibasaki one on me with their opposite numbers. Its looking like Walsh has really figured it out this year. Those short passes are so much more effective (and reliable) than those cutout passes straight to the wing.

Patty must be rested BUT will MM do it? I highly doubt he would. Patty absolutely needs resting. It would do a world of good to him & us.
IF Patty’s rested, Kobe comes into 13 but who do we’ve available whom we can look to bring into 17 apart from Piakura?
Maybe Piakura can take his left edge spot & our bench could be
Smoothy,
Talty,
JHunt &

Well, I think you’ve done a pretty good job of highlighting why Pat can’t be rested

How good was it seeing Walsh run the ball. Almost broke the line so many times. Then later on, throw those short passes you are talking about to set up a line break for Staggs and Shibba.

Not a danger game for most teams but a danger game for us.....
I thought jaiyden hunt was actually really good, especially defensively considering he played 70 mins unexpectedly.
Given we are light on for forwards, I hope maguire has piakura coming off the bench and moves hunt into the middle for 10 mins after a 40-50 min stint at 2nd row. Having piakura start is too much of a liability, throws the whole team off when he goes off injured. Plus we get more impact off the bench.
Talty still looked great last night, but he was getting pushed back a fair bit. Jensen was bloody unreal, think it was his best game for us for a while. He is bloody strong for his size (still big, but compared to haas....), loved seeing stone get flattened when he tried to put a shot on him lol was comical, webcke-like

Shades of our 15-20min periods in 2023 where we'd go from 2nd gear straight to 5th and not a single team in the comp could go with us. This is the way...just need to sort out the rest of the game defensively and have some luck with injuries and we're there again.
I think it's going to mean replacing some players that just aren't it, though there has definitely been improvement in some of them as the year has gone on.

I know for a fact we can’t rest him. We’re really lacking middle's.
It’s a real shame that there’s no one knocking the door from our affiliates.

Pretty much, but dolphins could win their remaining games and get to 13 wins... they've got manly at Brookie, titans at suncorp and then raiders... and raiders could rest everyone if they have first wrapped up

Not sure where to ask this but, I know for a fact that we’re the first ever sporting club in Australia to have a Hyperbolic Chamber. Do we still have it?
If so, are we making use of it? It would be real handy to speed up the recovery of our injured players.
