absolutely bit contest football game style tackle ugly
It's a bit of an ugly game this year, all round. The open, free-flowing, try-for-try game is gone. The tackle contest is now intense. It's absolutely gripping football but it's a different style of play.
although bit domino drew fear happens lure offers wait western
It's a bit of a domino effect. We'll wait and see what happens with Drew Mitchell, although I fear there may be some third-party offers that could lure him over to the Western Force.
bit maybe
Maybe they can get a little bit ill-disciplined so we'll try and play down their end of the park.
bit both extra given opportunity physically players strength work
The players are fresher both physically and mentally, but it's also given us an opportunity to do a bit of extra work on our conditioning and strength this week.
bit
He'll probably need to play with just a bit more protection, I think.
bit came clear hopeful neck struggling today train training
He's still struggling a bit with his neck and didn't train today (Thursday). We got an x-ray done and it came back pretty clear so we're hopeful he'll still be able to play. We hope to have him back on the training paddock tomorrow.
everybody good guess host performance players rather shoes
I think everybody will be primed for a good performance. And I guess I'd rather have experienced players who've been there and done that than a whole host of players who haven't. I'd rather be in our shoes than their shoes.

Our only focus is on preparing our game, so we're not doing things to shut down Rogers or shut down somebody else.
cent court decision discussed fairly given might number per purely push strong
We haven't given up, and I only know what I've read in all the papers, which is a fairly strong push that he's over there, but he hasn't told us that yet and I don't know that he's 100 per cent made up his mind. But indications are that he might be leaving. We discussed it with him on a number of occasions, there's nothing to add. The decision is purely in his court now.
against good great week win zealand
It's great to go to the week off having a good win against a New Zealand side.
certainly easy specific strategies work
They've got some specific strategies defensively and they work for 80 minutes, so there is certainly no easy way through them.
left stayed sure wing
I'm not sure he left to play fullback. He could have stayed with us and contended for a fullback or wing place.
bonus point taking tired
The bonus point was there for the taking but we just didn't take it. We just got tired and didn't play particularly smart.
