Haven't heard @CrazyMatt say he's worried about this game so we will put a score on this mob.

Opposed training session against newtown would be more beneficial

don't have to rely on CrazyMatt
we will probably get trounced this week by the most depleted dogs side

 

[vicsharkfan]

We are still looking for our first back to back wins.

 

[Gards]

Dogs have had a couple good wins and are better than they used to but their side is so depleted even if we phone this one in we should still win

Boosting our F/A would be handy though

We kept a much better Roosters side to 2 tries - I would be disappointed if we don't do the same here

 

[Milkshark]

Definitely should be a big boost to F/A this week

nice week to do it

If we win by 45+ we jump to 2nd. Would it be short lived, probably but hey we'd be ahead of Penrith for a bit at least.

Looks like dogs are sticking with Burton and flanno in the halves (there were rumours of Oloapu coming in).

Averillo and Davey both still in the squad after injuries last weekend.

Honestly think the change comes down to Burton not wanting to move to centre during games with injuries to outside backs.

Nah I think it's because he is 'their' man and they need him to be more involved, has a bad tendency to go missing in games

Then everyone complains we only beat teams bellow us on the ladder

Was watching their coach presser earlier and this is it. Ciraldo said he's a leader and needs to take control of his side. Burton 7 and Flanno 6. Jeez, he doesnt sound overly confident though

Yeah how the narrative changed one year we didn’t beat last years top 8 then next we didn’t beat that years top 8 ( but had beaten last years)

**** that was annoying

If you are sitting 2nd, there are not many teams ”above” you.
Sooooooo

I think that's Ciraldo's style though. Like Fitzy's style is bloke discussing the game but wishing he was wrestling something instead

 

[HaroldBishop]

Must be something about the weather and playing this mob away.

Not much gets past you mate.

[Gards]

The theory over at the Kennel is that Ciraldo is just playing silly buggers (Barret style) with selections to avoid media attention during the week over dropping the likes of Flanno, Averillo ect. but come game day they will be replaced.

Well I didn't quite buy it and with less than an hour to kick off it hasn't eventuated.

Won't matter regardless who they pick we are winning this game.
