So, 22 hours til the game and the windchill here in Leeds is -6 at the moment. I was walking down the street earlier and thought to myself, "f*** this is cold, I bet the Aussies are thinking what the hell are we doing here?!" :lol:

I can handle the cold too, but this is just unpleasant.

Here's tomorrows forecast anyway. Bet you're gutted you aren't here ;D

So I donno if any of you follow the boys on instergram but Vave posted a photo of Lagi Tohu and Moors saying congrats on the debuting together then posted a later saying he wished he could play with them Kenny B then posted me too both comments where then deleted...I'm guessing that Kenny and Vave are the two to drop off the bench which is a shame cause I really wanted to see Kenny play but still I'm happy with the team

And just as I wrote it another comment was put up Kenny is 18th man

I am dying to see Tohu go around in first grade. Proctor should watch his back.

TBF, it's humid here too ;)

Kick off is 8pm tonight too, so 11 hours from now.

If I don't get chance to post again, enjoy the game tonight guys and try and put some effort in to make it a contest ;)

Absolutely pumped for the match. Feeling reasonably confident that we can win comfortably and in the process earn the right to be called World Champions. Cooper Cronk to be best on field. Enjoy the game everyone.

A-men to that. I love Proctor but Tohu looks like he could be a force.

There was a good article in, I think, The Age or the SMH this morning about just how good he could be and just how much the club is excited by him.

I don't remember such a low key build up to a debut season than Folau in 2007 (and even then there was a bit of a buzz around Izzy. Still remember Matty Johns talking him up) but when he finally debuted didn't he make his presence known. Tohu could be the same. I can't admit to watching a lot of him in NYC but I'd never really heard of Folau until he launched himself over 3 Wests Tigers to plant the ball over the line on debut on 16/03/07.

Could Harris have a bigger impact? Time will tell. In any case, how good is it that the footy is back!!!!!!!!!!

;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
