Old Pimp Stuart and his team of hookers are getting ready for the boys tonight.

I'm feeling quietly unconfident.

I know CNK is out but I don’t really think there is any excuse for not putting in a big performance tonight.

Big home crowd, fresh off a footy lesson against Penrith, against a quality side who appear to be in our weight division.

Would be nice to see some signs of improving fluency in attack.

Good chance Rick might have outsmarted himself at the selection table this week! Or will he shove it in all our faces?

Either way, I’ll settle for a performance where the 17 blokes in lime green at least look like they know each other and have trained together a bit (especially inside attacking 20). It’s probably too much to ask of the Super Coach though

I’ve no doubt our guys will be much better at bleeding green than the eels. Let’s hope that’s enough to get us the 2 points tonight

3 hookers and no backline coverage, again.

If we get another HIA in the backline, this one is on Sticky and I won’t be all that interested in excuses being raised about reshuffles and absences.

Imagine my surprise when the guy signed to replace John Bateman in our starting team is way too good for reserves

I left my parents' house in Gordon at 6:15. It's now 7:10 and I'm only just about to crawl onto the off-ramp onto Ginnenderra Drive. Is this a sign of crowd numbers or is coming from the southside always this much of a ****show?

I'm attacking in the right way, instead of just...attacking in the general direction. - Max Aaron (also eerily apropos for the Green Machine)

Worried about this game... we haven’t played well since the roosters semi final game last year tbh... I hope this isn’t a 2017-2018 scenario. Excited about tonight’s game regardless.

How good is a bit of Golden Point to add to the tension!

7:40pm start time now. There are very large numbers of Eels fans at either end. They are talking a 20,000 crowd at the ground.

Raiders have gone back into the sheds, now the Eels.
