You have to through the form book out this season, their last win was against the knights Rd 10 our last loss was against the knights last Rd, our last win was against the donkeys Rd 13 their last loss was against the donkeys last Rd, just some useless info, the bookies have us as firm favourites again $1.29 to $3.62, would you be taking a $1.29 about us, it’s a no thanks for me, even though we should win, then I think about last week.

We are heavy favourites with the bookies, so I assume we will find a way to lose

What’s the answer? Asking for a friend.

I really don't see much of a problem with it, given injuries. Ideally you'd have Aloiai on there, but you can't.

Navale hasn't been great at getting himself involved in offence in 80 minute appearances in NSW Cup. Too similar to Jake / Jazz, not enough of a running game. E.g. compare him and Sipley's numbers. Just because they're there, doesn't mean they should be in the team. Waddell has been alright to good as a middle, absolutely garbage anywhere else.

I have no doubt that this bench will give it's all. I'm just saying they aren't a Finals winning bench. Brown is one hit away from medical retirement, Waddell is, well, Waddell and Tevaga is a Warriors reject and is also carrying injuries. I just need to see some young blood in the squad. Ive seen Navale run and he's got more speed than Jake and Tevaga and I reckon if he was told to just get out there and see what you can do, we might just see a better player. But we have what we have, I guess

No doubt they will try but no outside back cover. If one of the backs go down again the titans will run around us all day.

How is Weddell ahead of Sipley ?

Yep, that is always the danger, isn't it. 🤷

 

[Carl]

How is Weddell ahead of Sipley ?

Dunno. Maybe as second row cover (i know), but I think I'd rather use bully as emergency second row cover and play sippers over waddell as a bench middle.

I won't be surprised if Haumole doesn't play . I can't see the bench being the same as announced , if we are 1-17 , surely Jazz starts at lock and Jake to Prop . Bully back to bench where he excels . JMHO

If we don’t win this f ing game, I give up…

Hamole pulled out of origin as his wife is about to give birth, maybe this will keep him out of travelling to GC

Who could blame him. It's not like he could get back from Perth in a hurry, whereas the GC's a whole lot easier.
I think (hope) Haumole will play on Friday, unless of course there's a last minute delivery..

 

[Dingo]

So worrying going into a game as heavy favourites nowadays.

Team looks solid, nice to have so many in during an Origin game for the first time in a long time, we can’t keep throwing these easy wins away

Which week is it?… our FG team or the Corrimal Cougars trotting out? 🤷‍♂️
