So we play the Tigers, who've just sacked their coach, on a Sunday afternoon at Leichardt. What could possibly go wrong? (Bad bad bad memories of travelling to Leichardt)

It almost feels like we either;
a) Get rolled by a Tigers team riding emotion, or...
b) Put 40 on them.

Given how the Tigers have been playing, I'm really hopeful of b.

Surely we have the record for the team to play the side that's just sacked their coach!

I had a bad feeling about this game even before the coach was sacked

Key players, Munster and Suli, out injured will hurt us and we seem to play worse of a longer break then a shorter break.

And we struggle against them at Leichardt. Remember last year there. Hope its b, but i got a feeling this will be a real tough game.

Hard not to be enthusiastic about our chances for this game.

Wouldn't mind seeing Olam get a run. Apparently he's been killing it in qld cup

The usual Bellamy safety first experienced player position would dictate that Young plays. Suli only got picked last year because there was virtually no other fit outside backs.

There were literally no others, Tohu was playing centre before Suli got picked.

I wonder if Olam has been named as cover for addo carr.
Remember he got hurt late last week, I know he played the game out but we know what storm are like with injuries.
If he is in the final 19 then I'd say he could be in for addo carr.

Or Olam on the bench as cover for Slater since there is no way he can go 80 after being completely stuffed after 20 last week
