Kikau to be sent to the bin, they score a couple while his gone and take the lead. Sutton doesn’t give us a chance and we lose in a tight one.
Or we pump them and don’t give sutton any chance to help them win
Our discipline is a lot better than last year (with the exception of the Parra game but I don’t know if that was us or a sh!t go with the ref).
Defensively, we’re light years ahead of what we dished up last season and that’s a combination of doing reps in the preseason heavily focused on defensive systems and recruiting experienced NRL men and not half our squad being made up of cup players.
Some are divided on here between getting the win or getting flogged from a South’s bounce back - make no mistake, they will be frothing for this game but I think we’re not the same marshmallow team we once were, despite being a smaller pack, we’re more committed and resilient than we have been for years.
I’m predicting a very close result, I’m not sure we have enough firepower in a close contest but I still believe we get the chocolates 22-18
