If anyone is lucky enough to be home on Friday and looking for a laugh, Fox are showing to 2003 game against Souths which I am pretty certain was the match where on the last play of the game Tallis stripped the ball and we scored to beat them on the buzzer lol.

I kind of have a bad feeling about tonights game.. I don't usually have bad feelings.

I'm sort of the same but I'm feeling a little more positive with us being at home.

I think if we limit our errors/control the ball and don't slacken off in defense we should have enough to beat the Rabbits. We just cant gift them possession or easy tries otherwise their confidence will grow.

I am nervous about this game but I think that is just from past experiences. I am worried about the pasting they have copped in the media this week, if that hasn't fired them up, nothing will.

Inglis looks horribly out of form but always seems to lift against us which is a worry.

Late mail is that Dave Tyrrell is out, Dane Nielson will debut on the wing, Goodwin to the centres, Auva'a to the bench. T.Burgess also in doubt.

Dean Ritchie has just said a big name is about to withdraw from this game, no hints as to which team.. Hopefully it's T.Burgess or A.Reynolds

FWIW Wacko's Whispers on Twitter saying it's James Roberts whose wife has gone into labour

As long as it's not Milf.

So D. Cook isn't even on the bench this week? That's not good for him.

if that's the case, Kahu to centre, Eden to wing

That's a very light bench. Brown is the only specialist prop. Carter is a hooker/back-rower, Clark can play in the middle but is more an Alex Glenn type player. I guess Sam can move up to prop for a while, but good for us if that's how they play it.
