Last night's win would have been incredibly draining too. Not just the occasion, the opposition, the conditions, or the expectation now that we were close-to full strength. But with Piakura going down, it meant Willison played 80, and I would say Carrigan & Haas had to play big minutes to cover Willison moving out. Talty and Piki did very well to hold the fort for the minutes they had (I think their efforts need to be acknowledged last night) but it would have sapped them too.

For sure, but we've got 3 days extra between games than Cows would have had so thats a big benefit too.

What do we do with Paix moving forward? He can't be the 9 unless Mozer and Walters are both out, which given Mozer's injury history is possible.

Even so, I think there is a place for him in the team because his tackling is pretty great but I'm not sure where. Can you carry a tackle bot moving forward? If so, where?

You can just go with the starting hooker for 30mins... bring on the change up hooker (Mozer or Billy)

Change up hooker either plays out the remaining 50 or you go back to Paix if theyre fatiguing.

Paix learns how to become a Smoothy to offer ball playing lock to his game

Yep... teams have really struggled in the week after a panthers game.

Hopefully Madge gives them some extra days off given it was a Thursday game... cows is Saturday, give them the weekend off, tell Karp to stay off the piss and see you Monday

Just out of interest the Phins play the cowboys this week end.
Which team would it be in our interests to win to help us still make the eight?

they're on the same points but the Phins have a much better differential (+64 compared to -16)

so the Phins winning would be in our best interests.

and if the Sea Eagles, Bulldogs, Storm and Raiders could all lose as well, that would be handy 😝
 
I just want to see Willison and haas at front row for a full game ffs. We’ll need them both to counter taumalolo who destroyed us last time.

Draw would be the absolute best result for us.

Basically we need the Teams coming 6 through 12 on the ladder Today, to lose constantly and by as much as possible to help our points difference.

Running down the Rabbitohs is the most likely according to this

Raiders v Rabbits is the most important of the Round for us.
Go Raiders!

Yes agree. Souths have had their 3 byes as well and have a slightly harder draw.

that doesn't help us if it's the Cowboys that do the beating.

maybe the could wait until they play the Dragons or the Titans
