I'd rather not underestimate CheatsFC, they are most likely playing possum just to stick it to us.

My personal preference is that if I see them playing dead on the road is to line them up on the right front and accelerate!

Our older heads should be using this game to put the CheatsFC kids into a submissive and subservient mindset for the next decade, like so many teams have done to us before. Hurt them so much, they can't see any hope against us!

Whoever (teams) hasn't realised you have to play 4 qtrs at high level week after week, will get beaten by anyone. The penny seems to have dropped with our blokes, they have a taste of winning and it seems they like it. Flirt with form and odds at your peril.

Yep. In a funny way this game on Sunday is another test - winning a game we're expected to win, and win it well. How often have we made hard work or even fallen over against a lesser opposition over the years!

Nic Newman apparently underwent finger surgery today. Availability for this game yet to be determined.

I believe that Newey’s return to the team is a significant factor in our changed fortunes.  He’ll be missed if he doesn’t come up, even against the floundering Bombers.

hope this this NOT another richmond  game ,red hot fav etc etc

This weeks MC will be most interesting, because I suspect in the absence of injury Fraser would be starting to think "we don't want too much change", it's a natural consequence of having some recent success.

But on the flipside, you could make a valid argument that it's selection changes bringing some of the benefit, you could even argue it was dropping Hewett for a couple of weeks that was the trigger for our new level of intensity.

Acres come in last week with wares to sell. Ison, Byrne and Young in the weeks prior, something to show.

Too many changes can be bad, not enough can be just as bad.
