Can north who gave central a scare cause the upset ? i doubt it, the wwt machine are rolling along nicely despite the loss of key players, wwt by 6 goals

Ok, I may as well post first. I have read a comment on here about taking the % of a side into account as a form guide. I reckon that definitely has merit, and is probably something I should look into more.

The relatively high 47.89% for the Roosters is the 12th highest for a bottom side at any stage of the season. 51% for a second place side is in the bottom 3% for all 2nd placed teams. I'd expect to see a close game, but am 50/50 to say who will come out on top.

Anyone know how bad Grieger's knee injury is? He is an important player and becomes even more important against a tall North forward line.

Hall and Hentschel listed as available. Tiller and Rowntree listed as Test. I'd imagine Rowntree and Hall would come straight in for Fairclough and Sutcliffe and Tiller for Grieger if he's injured.

The mentality of the WWT players will hold the key to the game.
Too often, when playing a side in a low position, 'mindset' plays a role in determining the result.

If our guys are 'switched on' - relatively comfortable win.
If not, North will 'roll us'.

I hope that the former is the case. Eagles by 28 pts.

this game the eagles need to go into thinking that north are another topside .North showed last week they are better than their current ladder position implies.
Hopefully this will be the week the eagles can play 4 quarters of footy !!!

Noticed last Friday night Hall did part of the training with the seconds .Perhaps he will play in the two's first up.
Saying that Hentschel trained with the league team last Friday night as well .
To me Tiller looked good doing his fitness test(last Friday) not certain if the Eagles bite the bullet or play him in the league .
Does Raymond hold his spot if Hall or Rowntree come into the league team ? He has done his job the last 2 weeks as has Fairclough and Sutcliffe .Makes it hard on the selectors IMHO. Which must be a good thing as well.

The Eagles have brought back Hentschel, Tiller and Rowntree to the team. Vince is out to the Crows. Hall returns via the reserves. Great to see Grieger named after his knee injury last week.

Wiggles aren't 2nd for nothing, playing at home too. Wiggles by plenty, about 9 goals.

We should win, but North are going to be tough. Here's hoping that they aren't that tough.

[hot dogs]

Eagles in a canter. Giddy up.

[The Sleeping Giant]

Hopefully, North win one for the good guys.
