Got my ticket

I think it has rained at some point every day since we last played there. Forecast also suggests the trend will continue this week. I suspect the pitch may have improved very little and we may be in for another war of attrition in the mud. At least this time the players will be fully aware what is expected and hopefully we also adapt our tactics.

If it rains heavily in the lead-up to the game it will be very muddy, if not it won't. That's been the case with rugby league for over 100 years. Here's the pitch yesterday for the women's game. As you can see, there's nothing wrong with it, because it didn't rain incessantly beforehand. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2rFuwxz_fQc

Apart from today light rain if any at all. Quite breezy which should help.

It has, pretty much, but I dont think it has been as bad as the other week. The temperature has also climbed a bit, since, too.

Whilst I think it will cut up, dont think it will be as bad.

On the Women's cup game video, posted by Phantom, the pitch looks in reasonable nick to me.

double post

Two reasonably dry and breezy days Saturday and Sunday near to POR so it did look promising yesterday but peeing it down all morning today. The forecast is worsening rain every day right up to, and including, Fridays kick off time.
Another war of attrition coming up.

If conditions are not the best then I hope Powell picks a more forward oriented bench, nothing against Noah Booth but having him in the bench in those conditions was a waste of a spot.

TBF I didn’t he had a choice there was no one else at that point.

Weather isn't the issue.
It's about how we play.

We need powerful runs to get off our line and more aggressive in defense to peg them back.

Exactly and IF we do that and cut out stupid penalties we will win.

Hope we get a good ref again.
