The team named is strong but only if they play like they want to win. Last week I think we did well to come back and I saw glimpses of the cronulla of 2016 but we need to be much more disciplined this week. Raiders have a tendency to lose their way and get frustrated, we need to get under their skin.

6 months later...... while other teams are young and ready to go ... 6 months for a 23 yr old gives them time to get stronger...6 months for a 34 yr old gives them time to think how wonderful another 6 months would be ..... end of day Flanno needs to start planning for the future - T.Williams and K.Capewell should be in the 17....
yes, and I think 35 or more is accurate

For someone so 'old' werent Gallens stats (not inc line breaks) actually better than taumalolos last year? Played less minutes but was making metres and more tackles (and less errors). Even if u trimmed another 10 minutes of game time from him he'd still be a work horse for us, and a
Valuable player

I know it wastes an interchange, but I'd like to see Nu come on for Brailey at the 30 min mark till the 60 min ish. So Brailey finishes the game and Nu gets to run at the end of the first half. And in attack it would be good to see Nu at first receiver sometimes. He is a dangerous runner and has a very good short kicking game.

IF he ran the ball he would be dangerous

Once him and brailey work their way into the side and build confidence we will see them play their natural game.

Brailey made a really nice run in that first half and I reckon in another 15 rounds we will see him open up his play after he spends more time out there and with Ennis.

our oldest players in gallen and lewis were our best on field
except when Milford ran past both of them when they were impersonating Easter Island statues. A rest was needed before that

****in grow up cock sucker. Milford would have run around both those guys when they were 21.

I didn't notice Gallen so much last week, but Lewis was a stand out. My gut feel is they will be assets this year and deserve to defend the premiership, but this really should be their last year for both on age grounds/planning for the future.

I call BS that Milford would have scored if there were mobile defenders there. The play was set up to take advantage of the statues. It will happen time and again now others have seen it.

Milford has scored many a try like that, and will score many more. He is lightning quick. I swear youve contributed nothing to this forum other than an ovbious hate for Gallen...
