Would be a loss to lose Suli. He has been reasonably good so far except for the first half against roosters. He at least provides a bit of X factor out wide. Hard to see any points created out wide other than Tommy with him out.
Forwards look like we have a slight edge. I’m looking forward to seeing how our rotation of Marty AFB and Sipley goes. I think Sipley may be a sleeper for us this year. It’s been a real weakness for us when Marty and AFB go off but I think Sipley may have the ability to change that.
I think we can maybe sneak a win but if we don’t I’ll bet my last dollar it will be because RTS kills our left hand defence in the red zone like he did to the dogs. He will be licking his lips to get at Elgey Parker Tafua. All three of them get posted often by guys with good footwork and there’s no.better footwork in the game than him. So important Thommo has a good defensive game on that side because they’ll be going there all day both on the ground and in the air.
For me this game probably defines our year. Dry track, desperate for a win and virtually full strength if Walker is gone for year.Get beaten badly and it’s going to be a very long season and a bunfight to avoid the spoon again.Win and get some confidence we may see a few wins ahead with the Raiders and Dogs at home good opportunities and our nemesis the Dragons being without Widdop. Can’t remember the last time they didn’t flog us.
