Can't get to game sadly, but four sons and girlfriends will be in the zone. Pax 5915
Have they DROPPED the ticket prices to this game...$25.00 - $30.00 range now..????????
is that a real question or are you suggesting it?
lol, $25 in the FZ, plus fee of $5, so it cost $105 for the four tickets, mmm plus $160 petrol, then there's accommodation, the pub crawl....
Oi Oi Edgecumbe... lets have a clean sheet

When will we know if Siggy has been charged by the match review panel for his elbow?

won tickets to the game from dominion post.
What was your Phoenix chant?
did not need to put any chants on for this comp, just entered online. 3 people in our house entered and one of us won so now we only have to pay for petrol which makes for a cheaper day out.
being the friday before christmas i would assume the roads will be chaos so we are going to leave wanganui a lot earlier than normal to make sure we do not miss the start of the game.

This surely has to be Daniel's chance to be back in the squad. I personally think the most efficient squad would be:
Warner || Paston
Lia Siggy Durante Muscat || Griffiths
Brown Smith || Ifill
Leo Sanchez Daniel || Pavlovich
Greenacre
Makes the most of who we have. Biggest risk is Lia to RB, but think he would be better than Griffiths at LB against Brockie (Big Guess).
Means we can fit Smith, Sanchez and Daniel all in there who were our best last week.
I have been advocating dropping Leo and Brown to the bench to shake things up, but now is not the time - we need stability
Warner || Paston

Brown Smith || Ifill

My biggest fear is seeing smith back onto the bench.. 
but wont surprise me if Ricki does that anyway.
Otherwise if we dont put Lia at RB, maybe try Smith out wide if Daniel isnt worth a start?

I think we can assume Siggy is available to play, usually the FFA issues a 'Please explain' notice or a suspension on the Monday after games have been played, and report it via their website. There is no mention of anything on the site, so I'm guessing they arn't suspending him.
Warner
Manny Dura Siggy Griff
Brown Lia
Daniel Leo
Sanchez Smith
Bench: Pasty Pav Daniel Greenacre
I hope they don't risk Ifill for this one, and I think Greenie deserves a bit of a break after his hard work the past three months, so I am going with Sanchez and Smith up front. However, if Ricki does go with this I hope he goes with his counter-attacking tactics rather than his Go-Wide-Cross tactics, otherwise having two creative players in the middle will be a waste.

The Jets also have no Wehrman, Wheelhouse or Payne. So as long as Brockie doesn't pop up with a wonder goal we should (in theory) be able to win by three or four.

Didn't play in either game that we beat the Fury here, and didn't play earlier this season. Maybe he's afraid we will boo him everytime he touches the ball or something...

One day Payne will make the mistake of thinking we've forgiven or at least forgot. That, however, would be a mistake.

Jnr Jnr is looking forward to the game - hoping that Topor Stanley will give up the ball and almost score an own goal like he did last time.

Really? You see 3-4 goals coming from our lot?
Big call.

yeah without Ifill and potentially Sanchez then im not sure where the goals will come from.
I'm thinking Daniel is gonna have a big say on how we go this game, in terms of chances created

stunning day expected but with xmas weekend upon us I suspect the hardcore fans will turn up (3500) but the walkin crowd will be away somewhere on the beach. Shame really cos it's looking like a perfect footballing day at the RoF
