The game is now a bit of a lottery with the 6 agains, what is a head high and what is not and worth sin binning, what is and isn't a professional foul etc - add in the rain - just saying it levels the playing field so to speak. On a dry track Manly put up a score and the Knights can't stay in touch. On a wet track... game might be tight and our flashy attack is minimised. Hopefully it is only showers as predicted and no showers from 4pm lol. If so Manly will put up a score. Interesting to see if Burbo is in the 17 - if so just can't see him getting decent minutes unless there is an injury.

game might be tight and our flashy attack is minimised.

Can any of you even contemplate being able to say that now after 5 rounds this year?

Oh if it is wet I certainly see our skill and attack being reduced - just how it is in greasy conditions - more of a forwards game and our depth in the forwards is really being tested. But after 4 games this year we wouldn't have even been worrying about a flashy attack - more the no attack and terrible defence.

 

[The Wheel]

Come on Sea Eagles - today is a good day for a smashing

 

[Brisbane Tragic]

This is a must must win game - we can't let the Roosters and Rabbits get too far ahead in the race for the 4. 4 Points behind the Roosters and 6 behind the Rabbits if we lost is a big ask. Especially with Turbo etc being Origin bound. So this really is a MUST win game. We can peg one of them back I have no doubt if injuries are kind to us.

Every single game against those lower than us are a must win !’

Rumours Shuster is out? Anyone heard anything. Hope it's bs

Highly doubt that mate. If so he would have likely dropped out of the squad with Siro yesterday. Wouldn’t make sense to leave him in at the expense of a fit player only to drop him on game day.

yep yep - agree - this one is vital though given Roosters are 4 in front and Souths 6. If one or both lost - pressure is off a bit I suppose is what I was trying to say but pressure is on with both winning. But agree we need to make a meal of the poorer teams..... gee it feels good saying that. Not a statement to be made after 4 games lol

 

[southsideeagle]

So if Burbo playing, who drops out? If Schustet out, Lawton 5/8? Funa out?

Funa surely

Thought the same but the rumour is out there. Someone making porkies

Schuster out according to Zorba..
