Since they are bigger than us, tire them out by keeping them turning around.

The centre better have his kicking shoes on tomorrow... because Lord knows Flamingo doesn't even own a pair.

Mahoney MoM again.
Interesting seeing Cleary kicking early the other night playing chess and thinking sets ahead = game management/footy brain. Not the first time hes done it. Defend the next set well and set up camp down field. Hopefully CC will indroduce these simple tactics as time pass's. Probably need a 7 with a footy brain to share the load with Reed though.
Being out muscled, I still think the biggest issue will be our discipline. Errors = tackling burning energy. Some times we can be our own worst enemy in this erea. Plenty of games in recent years where we fade in the last 20 mins.
We completed well in our first trial and what a difference it made. We need to complete well to give ourselves a chance.

Like that we have smaller pack running longer…think we will be ok for this…lussick bit disjointed at hooker throws their forward attack out…warriors always love an excuse to loose. Cmon Reed push these young fucks today give ‘em hunger to win.

Gus has instructed Cirro to have a utility player that can cover any position on a whim due to concussion (which is head knock).
Okenbor is believed to adequately be able to cover positions 1-5 and 11-13 as needed so is wanted in the bench.

To be fair he could probably cover any position...

In auckland now and it’s cool & breezy. Boys will appreciate it I think.

We need our edge players and outside backs to fire cause they have a very tough middle

The key word here is "adequately". Oki had the game of his life in round one against Blacktown Workers (they're really Manly but they don't have "workers" on the peninsula). Even then, he only looked like an average reserve grader. At his worst, he looked like he had never played the game before.

Maybe CC has worked a miracle and his Blacktown form is the new Oki, but that is still a long way short of first grade.
