Rorters pack is pretty narley and a strong bench.. We need to defend the best we have yet this year and hope the weather evens things up so we can steal a win.
They will monster us up the middle play wet weather football all while we do none of the same i can't see us scoring many at all lucky the rain will probably slow thier scoring down

If we can control the middle and kick well to the corners to get them coming out of their end we have a very chance of a boilover.. fast line speed from our smaller pack and ball control through our middle 3rd will keep us in the game. Really want to see Drew and Burto push the team around and keep Mahoney focused on the ruck defence, scoots and short ball work etc. Taffe to be constantly backing up the centre aswell will indeed my tip. Need to shut down their back 3 on returns and apply pressure on their kicks which no doubt Kiks will do..

We don’t really play an expansive game anyway, so the weather probably suits us, but with their pack, I can make the argument that the weather suits them?
…WTF would I know?

I don't see anything in Patolo. He's been with us for a while now and hasn't shown any promise.
I don't think he's potential to be anything special but he is still relatively young and has had no luck with injuries.

I hope it pisses down hard as a good fast track would have seen us get done by 20plus

I reckon we try something different and play one-out footy with a crappy bomb at the end....
