You can guarantee the likes of old man Farrell will play a blinder. They're not a three man team. We all know they'll raise their game. I don't think we'll have enough grit to get past them. I hope I'm wrong!

They will be up and in our faces from minute one and be very aggressive defensively with Marshall / Miski / Wardle / King making good yards when they are in possession. If we stand a chance we are going to have to find a better way of controlling the ruck on both sides of the ball vs the last time we played them.

Funny how often Farrell gets his armpit snagged round the ball after making a tackle. Or ends up on the wrong side and has to do a slow motion hurdle over the tackled player to get back to marker. Really unlucky that.

I hope DP and the boys know that it’s going to be much cooler on Sunday and raining!

Should be training in an air conditioned environment set to about 20 degrees with the sprinklers on!

Hate to sound like Jon WilkinS but I agree. If others do it, why don't we?

Did you enjoy watching Charnley trapping opposition players in the tackle?
