With Edwards & Momorovski expected to be available, and with NC & Luai out, & with a Sunday game(?) I expect that all SOO3 players will be named and with hopefully no injuries to take their place against the warriors.
Burton will be named in the halves and will take control of the team & we will be looking for big contributions from Yeo, Api & Dylan to offset the loss of NC & Luai.
Who know what game the warriors will bring?
if we cannot win a game like this with all but Cleary and Luai, well we have problems
I am as uncomfortable with May at 7 as everyone and i guess we will either be right or wrong come 6PM on Sunday
But these games are key to where finish and whilst we were looking at 1st or 2nd, i have all but reset my thinking to a Top 4 spot which is OK but how we play without Cleary and Luai is key to our hopes this year.
I am more concerned about the “shift” of our squad to QLD for what may be the remainder of the year and a lot will come down to how we handle this “disruption” to our routine and takes us out of familiar areas like our state of the art gym, recovery facilities let alone the comfort of your own bed/house etc
Its the same for everyone of course but some are more adept at it like Storm who have done this before and in my opinion gives them an advantage over all other teams.
But first things first, we need to beat Warriors and all others until Cleary and Luai return.
No sense focussing on the prize when you have to work hard to even get there.
first things first…the ref calls against us is an indictment on the NRL.
Forward passes being missed, penalties against us for nothing. It is really quite sad to see and one could be forgiven to call it bias.
That being said we are close to awful and if they had of not had injuries, i believe they would be well in front with gaping holes in our middle
And can someone explain the Burton kicking game…he hasn’t found grass and the one time he passes to Kikau we score
They will try their best for the first 15 minutes and fatigue will kick in and they could capitulate sooner if we score early But we should run away with this
I will want to see how we compete in the 2nd half…and keep them scoreless
I think May is showing is all he is not even a reserve grade player .
