Id go with that.


I just don't think we are creative enough to beat them. We can build pressure when the pack gets on top but weve no creative spark to open up teams when it's tight.

I think we will lose but if we had fully fit Luke Walsh Id be very confident.

If we deal with them putting pressure on Wilkin when he's kicking better than we did at the Pie Dome, we'll win.

The Goons are always so lucky against us. They will no doubt get a couple of scores ahead early through daft kicks off the back of nonsense penalties. We'll then claw our way back in but ultimately lose.

I don't think we are creative enough to beat them. Wilkin does a job at 7 but he struggles in the big games as he's not a halfback.

They weren't lucky in Grand Final when it mattered

Agreed Pete, but back in April we were saying after the game that even if we'd had Wilkin on pitch we'd have opened them up. We've got him on pitch tomorrow. At least the defence is doing well mate.

Wilkin won't open them up. He might try to kick them to death but he's not a good ball player.

I'll take that mate. Our kicking game was v poor against them in April.
