All he does is worry.

It's very very worrying..

Team list Tuesday in just over 4hrs..

No worries
Id be very worried if Azza stopped worrying.

Genuine cause for concern.

My year 12 son has a graduation lunch on at 12 noon in Sydney’s northern suburbs which finishes around 3.30...I then have to drive home before leaving for Canberra stadium and trying to get there by 7.15 pm, park and get into stadium...

The frantic drive and looking for parking before the game starts is more daunting than the actual game itself ..

Still can't believe they aren't opening the gates until 6pm. They are going to have 10-15k of people trying to enter the stadium at the same time.

I know I will be leaving home at 5pm. Don't want another repeat of the 2016 round 23 game against the Melbourne storm where I didn't end up getting to my seat till half time due to traffic and not being able to find a carpark.

I think Guler is a fine prospect but I honestly see far more value in playing Ryan Sutton this week. A game full of Poms on both teams in a big match in front of their National Coach - this game is made for him with his big game experience.

Yes, this team has a history of making nobody's look good.

Tbh we could be 25-0 in the regular season and I'd be worried.. that's how scarred I am by some of our efforts

Agreed.
You need luck to win a competition, as well as a nice run without injuries.
One can only hope that things are lining up for us.

Sutton is a bonafide plodder riding the coat tails of the other successful English and Guler is a better player imo. Glad Sticky made the call though I doubted he would do it

Harsh on Sutton IMO. I think well see the best of him next season.
I like Guler and enjoy how he has forced his way into the team. I think his potential is huge.
Red Horse has been a revelation and will feature for QLD sooner rather than later if he keeps on this trajectory.

I thought sutton was quality after he moved to 13. Tapine is another level though.

What if I told you, 30 September was the Monday after Friday 27. So technically they start Monday but if course every family and their dog is going to be on the road Friday afternoon.
