We will need to cut out the errors to have a shot, but I think our attack, defence, speed all over the park and just general fitness are all better than the Eels based on tonight (though they did lose players and we know how that goes after Round 1). We know we have the game to trouble the Panthers, and there's no doubt both teams have been looking forward to this game since the draw was released.
I expect us to look better but would not be surprised to see a repeat of the GF, without the fadeout this time...
They should be without Luai (unfortunate, bloke is a passenger at the moment) and Fisher-Harris might have done some shoulder damage so that will be interesting. We'll have Madden in for Reyno so it will all fall on Walshie and Mam for us, but I still think we have the class to get over them. They have let in some soft tries the past few weeks, we certainly have the skill to take advantage.
