I am pleased that we are playing them in the evening - they are a side that can push a pass on occasions. We need to locked into the game plan to go through their middle.
This one is all about mindset and being clocked on.
 
According to the Rugby League Guru, Dolphins will have a few changes - Fuller into Centre, Averillo into 6, Schneider into 9 an Plath into 13. Big structural spine changes.

As always on a chilly but calm Wellington night, the game is won in the forwards. I think we have a clear advantage and Webby has plugged the holes in the edges that we saw in the Tigers and Sharks games. Dolphins will try and play an up tempo game becuase they can’t grind for 80.

I have a feeling EIT may play tonight with Wayde playing 80…

don't mind that if it eventuates - biggest advantage is our second row, which is enhanced by placing some defensively shallow players like Averillo in and about there, so really hope Leka is used a bit better, and we see Laban with some hard carries - get second phase around the ruck : all good, us by a lot
 
feels so weird. Wouldn't they just move Hammer to the centers and move Fuller to FB? Morgan Knowles is out too for them. Erin to give Schneider a few more nightmares in this game.

Leka time tonight in the capital.

Doubles for Lofi, Dwizzy and Fordy.

Leka will only get a hat trick tonight sorry team. 60 gajillion - nil. See y'all back here tonight.
 
This game will closer initially than some think IMO. Need to ensure they don't get any reward for their efforts in the first half and then we can roll over the top of them in the second half as they tire after last week's game in the heat and the extra travel.

Let them in early and that might be enough for them to lift and go on with it.

I'm not fussed with the scoreline. As long as we see intensity, shape, resilience in defence and no panic play.

Herbie and Hammer the watch outs and they'll more than likely be targeting our right edge defence of Boyd, Ali and DWZ with our decision making.
