Even if Pap is in doubt, I would prefer he plays.

Tapine was ruled out for the Round 2 game and it actually led to the other front rowers lifting their game.

Really want to win this game.

Some of it is due to getting the week off and being only 1 game from a Grand Final, but most of it is so I can stick it to the wife and kids - who gave me so much crap after our last loss.

Friend animated a picture of us from that game (before the match - I wasnt smiling so much after the game).

Where's your hat santa? 😄
 
I think Papa is Ricky BS - he was injured on Friday, and Horse and Ata still played yesterday. Feel like he'll play

I remember first final played outside Sydney when they introduced home and away finals was Lang Park in 1995 Broncos v Raiders. Last time the Broncos played the Raiders in finals too.

Three times for two wins to the Raiders. Broncos lost 90, won 93 and lost 95.

Damn, some of those names on both teams bring back memories. God I hated Brett Mullins.
 
Has anyone in their spine played a finals game? Fogarty played for the titans so I’m guessing he hasn’t played any, the others are green

Fogarty and Starling both played in their 2022 & 2023 finals games. Both were pretty good in their win against Melbourne in 2022 and their loss against Newcastle in 2023

Starling was off the bench but from memory spent like 60min plus on like usual
 
According to Fox Sports, Papa is currently in a moon boot

I'm going to smuggle a toilet seat in and if we win I'm going to line up with the thirsty girlies at the gate and try and get Walshy to sign it

Will you be wearing a short skirt and lipstick?

Or, as my best friend once answered the same question just before Sidney Mardi Gras 2000...

"Hell no! I'll be the one dressed in dental floss and glad wrap!

I'll keep an eye out.

I'm going to wear the same outfit that I rocked up to @Harry 's in. Just without the undergarments:

It will be an interesting TLT tomorrow.

Badel reporting that we are unlikely to risk Reynolds given we have a second bite of the cherry

ABC Radio reporting that Reynolds is confident of being cleared to take on the Raiders

both saying a final decision will be made tomorrow

I doubt a final decision is made tomorrow... chuck him in the extended squad and give it till captain's run.

We've got forever off between games thanks to Ricky
 
We will need the big boys to tighten up their ruck defence and stifle offloads. Starling and Pattie will rip us to shreds if we're not careful, we're very vulnerable around the ruck. Quick PTB's and offloads are our kryptonite and Canberra do both very well. If we match it with them in the middle it'll go a long way towards a win. I hope we see the same mentality as last week from here on out, if we do there's no reason we can't win it all.

I think it's possible a final decision is tomorrow. If Madge think it's in the teams best interests in terms of preparation rather then the uncertainty hanging over the team if he will play or not.
