UP THE WAHS!!!

 

[Pop Dukez]

10 hours to go!

Wahs by a Janfin special….an honest & unbias pick.

I see the odds have shortened slightly and rightfully so.

I think we win this but won’t be a walk in the park. Or will Souths fold and we rack ‘em up for once despite our outs?

Who knows. This years comp is proving to be a real nightmare to pick.

The anticipation is nerve wracking.

Discipline boys…..discipline.

Let's eat! I'll take any win given our outs this week. I think we win this 1-12 on the back of an SJ kicking masterclass and AFB and Barney leading from the front again.

dwz and marata out - not great news to wake up to

jeez mate you got an early night

 

[Tonbridge(aka Swanley)]

If the rain continues I'm tipping Souths to win.

We've lost three stars, we are a lot weaker.

Not confident.

Bunnie stew…..Let’s eat!!!!

 

[BangBro's (still banging)]

I think we are good a enough team to jag a win but it will be on the forwards to allow Johnson to just kick, kick, kick!

Stopped raining here in Bankstown, 20 minutes away from Accor

Gearing up to be a warm sunny day, 28 degrees at kick off

Field will definitely be damp though after the overnight deluge. Although it looked to be in very good condition in yesterdays Roosters v Dogs game

Muggy?

 

[WarriorsForever]

With the weather looking much better than previously expected, you would think both teams would move away from having 2 hookers selected on the bench. A late change of Laban in for Lussick would calm my pre match nerves massively.

They are also missing 3 big names and a handful of impact players as well. This will be a fairly even battle.

They said the grass had just been laid down before the game started. Hopefully we get the same treatment

 

[sydneywarrior92]

Every time we play a team, we seem to get them at their best. I expect nothing less from souths today. But if we are a serious team, we need to win games like these away from home when things are going against us. Weather can't be an excuse for us today. The side that will take the field should beat souths today. Sure we will miss Niukore, but we've gone well without him this year. The remaining pack is not that different to the one that fronted up in rounds 1-3 where we outran our opposition in all three of those games. The souths pack may be big but they have been anything but impressive this year: they are 11th in running metres (we are 3rd). I think we can handle them physically. We still have enough class out wide as well to put enough points on souths to win.

 

[Possum11]

Need to win to show we are top4 contenders

 

[Dlenai]

Muggy?

Yes, it’s been muggy for the past 5 months

 

[MrFrankWhite]

Hope he gets his shot

 

[Roadrunner]

Let's do a late Easter bunny hunt.Always hate these games.Rabbits great club just not hitting form yet.Hope it's us carrying on.Should be a good game.

 

[MrFrankWhite]

I get the feeling Webby is taking no chances with injuries. All the reports say CNK was ready last week, now DWZ and Marata given the day off, magically though Ali and Laban are ready

Although I am loving everything webby is doing, One criticism I have is the lack of transparency around our injuries. Clearly Egan was never playing in rounds 2 or 3 but he continued to be named anyway. I suspect webby knew Niukore wasn't playing this week- I find it hard to believe 8 week injuries pop up out of nowhere. The DWZ seems minor and precautionary but still I'm not sure if the club is hiding the extent of any injury.
