Definitely not. As long as we have a smaller specialist hooker like Seggy on our bench, we shouldn’t have an outside back on there. Capewell can cover in case of problems.



We didn’t have a hooker on our bench though. We had Ennis playing 80 minutes so we had 3 forwards and a back on our bench. That’s the difference.

Is Paulo much different in size to seggy?

Don't know about 100% footy but on ch9 he said flanno will give him to Thursday to prove his shoulder is ok?

article today said flanno giving him till friday - had injection on sat supposed to be kicking in today (cortisone) to see if it helps

some are of the opinion Gal is playing regardless, decision all ready made ect and just smokescreen

our record this season without wade and/or Gal is very good (something like won 8 from 9 games or something) but we want Gal for a big game like this against the Storm Scum for sure

We're just not going to put up with any of their crap. If they wrestle, push or shove ... we'll stand up to them.

That article reminds me of a Cricket analogy as well. If you want to unsettle a team, go after the captain when he comes to the crease. Bounce him, crowd him, pressure him and get him out cheaply and you lower the morale of the rest of the team.

Need to do the same to Smith.

The only problem is that the **** never gets tackled. He’s too quick with the dummy half pass and no one can get near him.
And if we do smash him from marker you can bet the pricks with the whistle will ping us for offside.

One week we are talking up roosters, next talking down the panthers, now talking up ourselves

There is mind games and there is Cronulla - Shayne Bennett man of mystery

If you can't get the captain, go after his troops

You target him in defense. If ya manage to grab the bastard you make sure he knows about it too.

As Flanno said go to him don't wait for him to play to us so that cuts down his time and limits his choices; he's gotta pass/kick every time and under pressure. Thats In theory of course, if in reality we slack off he'll have smelled it coming 2 sets earlier and take full advantage and that 1 D/H run could be our season.

Flano is really fueling the fire. Hope he knows what he’s doing.

I love it. That is Rugby League. Not the **** you read in the papers, or what Kent and Hooper say on TV. Its 1 cranky firey ultra competitive mongrel coach stirring up another. Great stuff.

But we definitely want them coming out red lining. If its just a high intensity NRL game we get beat. The closer they bring their own emotions to the edge, the closer they are to being pushed over it. Billy is a sook and Munster a hot headed little ****er, get them on tilt like Jimmy last week.
