Nothing. This is the game they prove us wrong and go out there and be that team we have been hoping too see ALL year. Lesssgooo! Ponga 1 try 3 try assists 260 running metres. Mitchell pearce 1 try 2 try assists. Clifford killing gutho all arvo with them spirals fit for dropping and he drops every single one.

Saying you are playing and doing so at your most acceptable level are two different things, first tackle in wrong place and your out and team is a man down. Am worried about DSaf, Sue missing last week injured and Klem injured last week.

True, nobody wants a repeat of the De Gois/Taia finals selection debacle of 2009.
 
Speaking of old finals appearances, 2013 showed me first hand that the finals are a whole brand new competition. We were up & down all year, looked no chance at being any threat to the comp. We win one more game, we were in the grand final. Picked off the Bulldogs & Melbourne, only to go down to the eventual premiers the Roosters.
 
We need to go hard up the middle and make sure our contact sticks in defence and not let them offload. They score a fair bit from second phase play.

Really hope we can beat them.

We are terrible at stopping offloads and defending them. Hopefully we can get a hold on it literally haha.
 
Bit of an item on ABC country news where they interviewed a guy who claimed to be a junior coach in the Rockhampton area and he claimed Kurt Mann as a local product who would have played a lot of his junior footy on Browne Park Ground - tomorrow's venue.
He seemed pretty light on detail.
Mann is from Winton, a few hundred Klms from Rocky, and he did his highshcool at a League school on the Goldcoast, but he might have spent time at a boarding school in Rocky in his early years I suppose.
 
One thing to point out, the game where Parramatta romped us earlier in the year, we had no Ponga, Pearce, Dan Saifiti, Klemmer, Frizell or Hunt. Those are significant outs, who knows if we're up to the challenge, but I think we can probably write off that first game as an indicator.
