I would have preferred the Dolphins win last week than lose.
However difficult it was going to be to beat them is now going to be that little bit more difficult after their loss.
They’ll fancy their chances with us, for whatever reason, they match will well on us & have become a bit of a bogey side for us in their short time getting the choccies in a 3-1 head to head battle.
Going to need to be a lot better than what we were v Broncos.

No Katoa for them is huge for us. Schneider is like Jack cogger or jock madden, tries his heart out but just isn't very good.

Cue a career highlight performance from him now
 
Also, a few of their players didn't back up after SOO II, hopefully that's the case again.
Yeah they rested all of their origin players last time round. It was a saturday game too. They do have the bye in 2 weeks though, so I would be expecting them to back up considering there is a bit riding on this game.

Katoa is a big out though. Hopefully it's a tough game on the legs tomorrow and Brailey/AFB don't play huge minutes.

A lot are guessing AFB doesn't even get on
Probably learnt nothing from last game when Laurie ran an undersize middle for a bit and QLD got a roll on

Their forwards got on top of us last time. Their backs are flashy and their forwards are hard as nails.

Hope we're up for it longer than we did last time.
 
While it was a very poor performance last time, it was at least only 20-10 with just over ten minutes to go. 3 late and very soft tries blew the score out to 38-10. I am hoping the players will want to atone for that performance.
That was also in the peak of six again rulings etc which Dolphins were the best at (and we were the worst with our bigger players).

Interpretations have softened a bit over last 6 weeks so if we don't give a away dumb penalties we should go ok.

Thats a big IF though.
