For some reason I don't share your confidence - I think they call it experience.

THIS IS OUR WEEK
Weirdly, I have a good feeling about this game. We have done some good damage to the Tahs in the past ... hopefully that continues this week.
Also, this feels like an abusive relationship.

NRL officials asked for an investigation into the surface at Brookvale aka Knee Surgeon's Paradise.
Hooper will play a good game as its in his home territory but the rest of them will wonder what kind of poorly-lit, 70s horror film they just walked into.
It really is a shit hole.

@snowy this is the Blues, they are playing shite and should get spanked....

Tana isn't completely bad at management. His "expectation management" is superb - keep losing and the fans expect nothing.
The Blues are also more consistent they they have ever been previously...I shouldn't need to explain that.

How about the 2nd half for a change?
That would be different. I did mention that they are developing some consistency so a second half win seems unlikely.
I almost bought into this:

Then you ruined it by pointing out that we haven't won in SYD for over a decade.

@snowy history means nothing to this Blues team!

Sadly that is true. I am old enough to remember when they were quite good.

@nzzp Blues won v Tahs in Sydney 40-33 last year.
That's the one I was thinking of! That was a huge result for us ... hopefully we can do the same thing again.
Also, I LOOOOOOVE this conference system. PLaying the Tahs away two years in a row. Mmmm yeah baby.
