They seriously need to re-do that wall. It is chronic in the extreme.

 

[Big Pete]

Look for the Hughes and Munster kick behind the line. Brisbane love to jam in and neither of their players have any qualms with putting it on their toes as the Storm wingers invariably know what to look for.

Storm also love an early shift so the Broncos defence, particularly Farnworth and Arthars will need to bring their best defensive game.

Brisbane have come a long way with their short passing around the middle of the ruck. They'll need to produce their best as Melbourne are willing to sacrifice space and momentum which leaves them vulnerable for follow-up plays. Both dummy halves have to take their opportunities when they're on offer.

Would also love to see some speed around the middle with Mam, Cobbo and Walsh lurking to try and get Capewell or Riki into space.

Extended bench down to Taupau and Oates...I wonder if there might be a late change.

Oates is just about a perfect 18... covers outside backs, but could come onto the bench and perform a role as well.

Yeah the kick in behind just like last week... they'll definitely be looking for it.

Spot up Reece when he's at A... if he makes the tackle go the other way and kick in behind.

I feel like our winger sat a bit too high last week where other wingers wait back for the kick in behind, but when it gets to the fullback they get ready to come up and jam winger.

Need that inside pressure on Munster to cut it down, but we also like to trap and scrap on those plays.

Hope you guys are lubed up for another buttfucking tonight

Another team can get rid of these ***** in week 2

None of this matters because Paps will score 2 tries out of his arse when he comes on

Their bench is going to be a real concern. Just like in State of Origin, Melbourne have been receiving a lot more value out of Grant coming off the bench than starting.

I'd also expect Papenhuyzen to come on after 30 minutes which will make it easier for them to isolate defenders. Players will really need to hit and stick during this period. I'd expect them to run a lot of traffic at Piakura either looking for a mistake or a penalty.

Safe to say I don't have high hopes

That's why we need to come out fast and score some points quickly. Finish the game before their bench even starts.

 

[Super Freak]

Very windy tonight.

Kicking needs to be spot on.

I wish kevy would put flegler on the bench and make it his mission to Inflict as much pain on NAS as possible.

Small storms are meant to pass before kickoff. Should be a bit calmer.

 

[Mr Fourex]

shit shit shit we getting close now.

Time to hit the gym to burn off some of this anxiety.

We handle anxiety in completely different ways.

I knocked off work early
and since had 3 hash cones and 5 beers.

I'm up for this one......
