This is a big test for sure - we can't fizzle out like last year
Leeds was understandable with crazy scheduling
This wouldn't be understandable
A win would be a massive statement of Intent

"Not understandable" if we don't beat the current champions who've got all their key players back? OK then.

I wouldn't understand how we could lose this one - no
It's a top drawer must win
We win the Big matches
We learnt last years lessons

No im afraid I wouldn't really want to
Understand how we would have lost this one

Who we've beaten 3 times so far this season. We have ambition to be Grand Finalists according to those at our club, so then we should be winning games like this. This is why we have built a squad at max salary cap to compete on all fronts. I expect us to win.

Staggering arrogance IMO. What a sense of entitlement.

In life you seldom get what you deserve....
You normally get what you expect

"Personally not bothered after the cup success " -

All I can say is that it's a good job we have an ambitious Chairman

Arrogance or confidence. They're not the same thing.

Talanoa out for a couple of games.

Ellis charged....



Michaels charged....



Burrow also charged, but didn't head butt connor very hard....

Ellis getting charged is pretty annoying. The only positive I can think of is that he will get a week off and a rest

I didn't think the Michaels incident was that bad. From what I recall, Walker ran into him but I've only seen it once so could be wrong

I noticed Burrow got the same charge as Ellis. For head butting. I thought that was strange.

This is how the rfl described Farrell's tackle on ellis in the 76th minutes of the cc final (no charge)...



Spot the difference - the ellis tackle against leeds is on our tv highlights.
