Another banan8skin as all games are at this stage. If we can limit their speed we will be okay. They have a ton of dynamic players that can hurt us if we're not careful.

Yes, agreed, the bigger banana skin of this weekends pair, the flames are dangerous going forward, fast, hard forecheck and a team than certainly can hurt you with their relentless attack. We née d to put them on the back foot early. And with a heavy game expected against the Panthers tonight this could stretch our reserves. Hopefully y we will have some bodies back.

Not the kind of team you want to face on the road when you're chasing silverware.

An opponent that is very much capable of turning up and embarrassing us. They are seriously dangerous and are coached superbly by Paul Dixon. If we can get something from this, coupled with a win tonight against the Panthers, then I will personally be delighted with it.

Every game now is like a Game 7 in the Stanley Cup Final, that's how serious it's become.

Lets hope this isn't a ‘banana skin game’ we can’t afford a 0 point weekend at this point in the season. Games are running out fast now.

Big game tonight but as long as we don't do any worse than Cardiff then the gap stays. I agree the timing of the GB break comes at a good time for us.

Need a big response tonight, need some effort. We can't keep chasing games, need to start playing on the front foot & controlling proceedings.

Easier said than done when half the squad is not holding it in at either end and the other half are either out injured or playing with injury to make up for those with the squits ImageImage

True. Not ideal timing for an illness hit squad.
