The Forecast Rd 8

Nice one, Noddy! Everyone's really looking forward to seeing you again. It's always exciting to welcome back a great clubman like yourself. I even hear that Brian Waldron is thinking about naming the Eastern Grandstand toilet block after you!

ahem...

OK! When was the last time we lost two games in a row at home? It was back in 2003 against the Rooters and the Doggies, so I think we can be forgiven. To lose two in a row at home against the Eels and Sharks, though!? That would be embarrassing.

The Sharks have had one good win against the Cowboys and other than that, beaten teams that were out of form when they played them (Penrith, Bulldogs, Eels). They've lost to Manly and Brisbane, which gets you thinking that when pushed, the Sharks aren't that great.

Sound familiar? We beat the Broncos, but apart from that have not defeated anyone that weren't either struggling with form or injuries. I'm hoping we've learnt from our mistakes against the Eagles, Eels and Panthers and can handle the Sharks if they come at us.

Can't wait to see how it plays out! The Forecast is the Storm by 16+ to make up for the Parramatta debacle.
