Was feeling confident but then had a dream we lost 8-6.

I often dream about voluptuous, 20-something redheads but doesn't mean I can get one.

I expect a high scoring game, given the heat. Total number of tries in double figures, I think.

Hope the heat works in our favour and we can grind along whilst they tire themselves out doing their Harlem Globetrotters routine. Long kicking game has to be good from Connor and Kelly.

We need to be at our best to win this one. good in the collision and fast, aggressive defence. If we do and keep the errors and penalties low then I think we'll win. if we don't and give away stupid penalties and drop the ball frequently then we'll get our butts spanked. No excuses tomorrow, just go out and give it everything

Griffin, Downs (and Matongo) playing for the reserves today, so there's a clue to the line-up tomorrow.

Connor to centre then perhaps?

I can't see the point of playing Sneyd at this stage of the season, give him as long as possible to get his foot right, Connor is doing fine as a replacement.
If it means the difference between winning and losing tomorrow, then fair enough, but I don't think it will.

So Michaels, Fonua, Tuimavave and Talanoa in the backs.

If one of those 4 is out injured, and Griffin is playing today in the reserves, then who knows?

Fonua

I agree dont see the point of risking Sneyd
Michaels,Fonua,Tuimavave and Talanoa is surely the starting backs
Griffin doesnt deserve a place in the team on performance and i think he will be moved on at the end of the season.
Just wonder if we will see Ellis off the bench

Reserves beat Saints 36-30.

Hakim Miloudi scores two scorchers, and gets sin binned.

My error, I read Manu, brain processd as Fonua, Fonua had a leg injury recently and because I was thinking the mention was of a ligament an Fonua. I was making a point that a ligament injured Fonua would be more of a defensive liability given Cas get the ball out wide a lot and not exactly the best defender.

He'll fit in well then

Long distance?
