10 verses 12 - it’s one of those must win games but they all are now given our position on the ladder.

Everyone expects us to win - everyone expects us to rock back into the 8 and play finals

I am not so confident on both those fronts.

The Power have rediscovered their Pepper Pig. They have gone in short, without a key ruck, does that unbalance our team.

Have we sacrificed some speed and forward pressure for extra grunt around the ground.

Its going to be a slog and I reckon the Thursday game has arrived a bit early this week for some reason, I am not quite in the game day groove but I hope we turn up and settle into the game quickly after the bye, one of these teams will be a bit slow to dust the winter bye break off, hope it’s not us.

Perfect weather for winter footy, a bit cold, no wind, moisture in the air but no rain but it’s slippery under foot and therefore the game is played like a wet game.

Can we do it for Capt Grimes 200th and the first gamer.

RFC DNA to continue, expect us to grind out a 3 to 4 goal lead and then watch the pepper pigs get back into the game and we are left to fight out a close one.

To close to call is my prediction.

……but we will win the free kick count.

I am pretty certain we won't win the free kick count, but agree with your other predictions
 
Bank the win and move on. Have a feeling it's going to be an absolute dog of a game.

so many teams yapping at the heels of the top 8.

disappointing loss to a well credentialed side - on their dung heap - just before the bye.

we are building form steadily.

inclement conditions at our fortress on a thursday night.

biggest game since the 2020 grand final. so many gains to be made from a win.

so many questions if we lose.

Woah, slow down there.
 
Hoping for a good solid performance overall
Look forward to seeing the newbie get involved and show us something
Won’t be a big crowd but it’ll be our crowd
Surely on the ‘G tonight we'll avoid any 50‘s against us
Gonna be cold and I’m putting on heaps of layers and will be heading off shortly
Fingers crossed

Danger game. Small crowd. Low atmosphere at the moment. Port Bogelaide are used to small crowds and little atmosphere. Will feel at home. :ROFLMAO:
