a mate of mine reckons that...but how do you drop a big game experienced player like Chambers for a semi final.

Olam for mine.....doesn't deserve it...but could seem it happening
Remember this day, men, for it will be yours for all time

Tom Eisenhuth had a good game on Qld Cup, versatile can play centre, second row, played in the middle (lock) in Qld Cup last week. He might replace Joe. Curtis not overly versatile.

Game Day!!! Season on the line

Hopefully more rain at game time to reduce parras off the cuff style of play

I was close, Scott to start, Chambers to the bench.

It leaves us a forward short on the bench...

Not really. The only times this year that we've used all 4 bench players effectively was when Paps was coming off the bench. I'm looking forward to seeing Will come off the bench and play in the middle a bit.

More like he doesn't get on (like Stimson) and he's a spare "utility"

Always said goal kicking isn’t important in finals games.

Dumb play by our captain (to go with his crap kicking), but 10 in the bin for his slap when Sivo stays on the field after a shoulder charge followed by a swinging arm to the jaw/neck of Papenhauzen just sums up the NRL in 2019.

I was very worried about this game. Silly me. Clinical.

Cameron’s goalkicking even worse than in the 07 grand final, when from memory he kicked 3 from 8. We won that one easily too !

So next week will be a beauty. Bring it on.

Can't say I was overly impressed with our performance, particularly that second half, given what Parra threw at us - not an ideal lead-in to facing the Roosters in a prelim, other than no injuries (hopefully). Let's hope the Roosters are a little off after their 'bye'.

We did clock off in the 2nd half but it's always tough to keep that intensity for 80 minutes. Parra were better and had more than their share of possession which caused that as well.

We all know we need to be almost perfect for 80 minutes next week to have a shot.
