I’m hope I’m wrong but I worry about the “ up one week for a big game down the next for a game we should win” scenario!!

I see where your coming from mate but our team is maturing with every big win .

The mad scientist will also have us prepared and focused as he has been there and done that in his previous quests to glory .

We are in good hands

Sleep well

This is the 4th week in a row that we've had Ben Galea in the Vidiot Box but at least Horsehead isn't in there with him this time, however, we do have Henry Perenara as the main Referee so we will still be screwed over yet again.

Oh god Perenium the ref.

 

[BOZO]

Oh god Perenium the ref.

Thats ok . We have beaten him and our opposition before

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

Oh god Perenium the ref.

We are at home so maybe that offsets some of his bias.

Funny we all used to hate Checcin but he’s not so bad anymore.

We finally got him onside

Api listed, wonder if he’s a chance to replace Froggy??

You'd think that he would add more value than Croker on the bench.

If he just needs game time play him for 20 minutes giving Manase a rest, kids been doing a great job but it’s a hard role these days.

 

[Rodo]

Interesting too to see that Gosiewski's back. Wonder if he could be a chance of forcing his way back into the team. But then who would he replace? He was playing some good footy before getting injured.

Hard to see him fitting in now except for an injury.

I swear, the amount of people on Facebook who are crying because Cade Cust isn't even in the 21 is incredible. Don't get me wrong, Cade is a good player but he has deficiencies in his game that are best worked out at Blacktown rather than first grade right now given that we're fighting for not only a spot in the top 4 but in the Finals, because its still not a given.

The reality is that right now as far as the 5/8 pecking order goes it seems to be Walker, Croker, Cust and LG in that order. With Api back in at #19, unless things go wrong or injuries hit I can't see Cade back in first grade for a while.

I think we will struggle to get up for this one after last weeks efforts

I think the opposite mate, last week was the biggest confidence boost the team has experienced all season. Bring it on, they know now what it takes to win the tight ones
