Because he's our most important player by a long way. He might be big but not big enough that he can't be rattled.

Yeah I know what you mean, I just think if you are looking for a defensive weakness, it isn't him.

I'm talking more about putting a shot on him when he's got the ball, rattle him.

 

[Sparkles]

Either:
1. He's too fast and wirey to catch
2. Players know that if they disturb a single beautiful hair on his beautiful head the NRL will smite them

Nicho? I don't think opposition teams/coaches agree.

I saw a rundown of the Roosters game where they showed Nicho being targeted and it leading to two tries. He didn't miss the tackles, but they worked him over by going at him on consecutive plays and it lead to a series of quick ptbs.

"Get at Nicho" I believe is a widely used tactic by opposition teams (i.e. send lots of traffic at him).

Isn’t that a tactic for ALL NRL teams to target the opposition halves?
To make them tackle often to take the steam away or tire them out in order to reduce their effectiveness in attacking plays?

Really all playmakers. We did the same thing to Cam Smith in the 2016 GF.

Apparently we have the worst record of any team when playing at Suncorp.

Broncos also chasing 200th win at home.

Luckily we aren't playing Broncos.

So many things against us for this game.

(1) A revved up Dolphins crowd at their home ground for our normal home game
(2) Wayne's 900th game
(3) Whinging in the press during the week about how some decisions went against the Dolphins last week, surely will have the refs primed.
(4) Our absolutely horrible record against Suncorp
(5) Our record in Magic Round also isn't the best.
(6) No Rudolf still, no BHU
(7) McInnes coming from the bench rather than Dale. (This is a sarcastic one folks, every one seems to know better than the coach!)

So, if we do manage to win this one, we'll have done a brilliant job. Many tipsters are still on our side so hopefully come 7.30pm Saturday night we'll have the result we want.

Not to mention an uncanny knack of losing games we should win!

8) Have named Hynes at 7 instead of 6 or 1
9) That bum Talakai in the centres where all he does is make meters and contribute to points
10) MATT MOYLAN

 

[Gards]

• Wade Graham getting penalised for an incredible hit in early 2010's
• Bakuya not passing the ball to an open player few years ago to win the game
• Russel Richardson dropping the ball over the line in 2000

So much bad luck and missed opportunities against the Broncs

Pretty sure the Dolphins fans arn't fans of them either though

i want the whole team to start on the bench, then come in after 20 min for
Impact

We could only be down 6-0 at the most as no one would kick off for the restart
