Yeah definitely a byproduct of only making 2 changes in the first half, and Fords ability to go 80

We beat them up at the playoffs last year, rolling over them around 60-70th min, , just not as lethal on attack and CNK decided to have a cup of tea instead of catching the ball at halfway, and Leka couldn’t catch TMM’s sweeping passes to score/set up score. Will see if we can be professional tmr and finish the job

We will stand toe to toe. We have the fitness, physicality and the players to win this game but we need to continue our mental game and stay calm in the pressure moments and stick to our strengths. Because our strengths are top shelf and so hard to withstand. But we are yet to play our highest octane game from start to finish of a game and here's hoping this is the game we do.

Without looking at any stats, i'm going to imagine us and Penrith are the two most disciplined sides in the comp or at least close.
So expecting a lot of inside pressure to TMM on the last, and likely a lot more yardage kicks needing to be taken as Penrith will be defending well with good line speed. So we will get a good idea about how this halfs pairing will work later in the year.
One thing to remember is that come September refs generally swallow their whistle to a certain extent. So id be expecting the six agains to be well down like we saw in origin, where your yardage kicks have to be on point. Thankfully we have to the cattle to move the ball down field well, so we aren't sitting ducks reliant on a Moses boot.
I say this as I big TMM fan, but aware just how important a quality kicking game is from your halfback even in this new touch footy era.

Bang on there. We will have to earn it tomorrow if we are to win. I'm getting amped now.

None of penriths origin players are backing up other than McLean on the extended reserves
We only have to win by 25 don't we? Then we're number 1 bubbalah.

Every Tim Murray try is a double blow for both team's differentials

Must be the reason for my deadly hangovers the last 3 days.
