Did Dane Nielson get injured on the weeked or are we just giving him a rest? I thought we would have gone with Beau Champion ahead of any one else. Hope Chisolm goes well, would have been good too see Niko though!

The boys looked impressive against the Dogs the other night. They should have little problem coming away with the 2 points this Sunday.
Billy, Cam and Coops won't train until Thursday so I think the game plan will be similar to previous weeks. Just tough out the win.
Our 'new look' attack probably won't be unleashed until round 20 against the Broncos at AAMI.
Coops was outstanding last week, as was the whole team. Another similar performance will have this game in the bag I reckon.
Can't wait for Sunday. They're long weeks without Origin now

Also Heritage Round Mark II for 2011, this weekend.
Do we wear the navy jersey we wore earlier this year?

might be the new super heroes one that bounces off bullets, bedazzles the opposition, changes to green in their eyes only so they get real confused & turns them into jelly if they touch it?

Good too see we haven't had too make any changes to our side that defeated the Bulldogs on Saturday night. Always a bonus when you can keep a winning side the same. Looking forward to our clash with the Raiders, we lost to them last time we played them in Melbourne so will be good too get some revenge. Should be a easy win but you never know as we did say this last time we played them. Slater, Cronk and Smith won't train with the team till Thursday so we will go in with the same game plan and wait till next week to bring out our good attacking game!

I feel for guys like Champion, O'neill, Vea etc because they are 1st grade quality, but the current line up is on a 6 game winning streak, Bellamy will stick with it until we lose i believe and really who can blame him.

Will Bellyache start his rotation policy leading up to the Finals? Most likely see guys like Champion, Chisolm, O'Niel, Vea, Thompson come in to keep the guys fresh.
