Win this game, secure a spot, and have a go in the finals, good experience for our players and hopefully build off it for next year

Just like we built of last year haha

 

[Thresher]

Well we should be aiming to win. No matter what other results occur

We're playing competitive sport after all

 

[MrDravid]

At least we'll know what we need to do by game time.

Wouldn't be surprised if Nicho is named in the extended squad and added if required.

Need to win regardless for a home final.

 

[Proud Shark]

Can't go into the finals on the back of a performance like last week. Need Nicho in if he can play and we need to belt these ****ers.

 

[Thresher]

Need to win regardless for a home final.

I'd prefer that we won and we should definitely try to win but we don't necessarily need to win.

All I was saying was that if Nicho needs an extra week and we've made the 8 already by the time we play it could be beneficial to our finals chances if he gets an extra week to recover.

 

[Sharkfox]

Just like we built of last year haha

Atleast they finally stopped persisting with the Moylan Hynes combo, and can build with the Trindall Hynes pairing now haha

If by the end of the round this game means nothing to our finals picture, we should rest mcinness and Brailey if we can. Those guys have done a mountain of work lately. Most teams this year do well after a week off.

Regardless of Cowboys Roosters/Rabbitohs results, we have to win to get a home semi which is more important at this stage

McInnes does 100 push-ups and Situps each morning when he gets out of bed (including game day). He should start by giving those a rest for a week or two!

Not to mention all the rabbits he chases in his dreams during the night.

Maybe. Could also just wind Cam's minutes down a bit, and go with Berrell over JC on the bench and sit Blayke at half time. Would be a nice reward for Berrrell too.

Imagine the blowup Ricky will have if Raiders miss out due to Penrith resting players for the Cows game and then we beat them too.

Having said that, I think with Luai out injured and Edwards rested last week that Ivan will want to give the new look spine a chance to gel prior to finals. Also potentially a minor premiership to play for should Broncos lose to storm

 

[Sparkles]

The Raiders have a decent collapse in them. Let's hope we get that side this weekend.

I don't think he will tbh, he'd do the same thing.

Haha maybe, you never know with Ricky.

His press conferences are bloody entertaining

I love him, much better than the bland press conferences you normally get.

 

[MrDravid]

Hopefully he names his 5/8th at centre and his centre at wing again... Not to mention throws Crocker on the bench.

 

[Blue_Eyes84]

What's the point of making the finals?

We'll bow out first round.

 

[BurgoShark]

That would certainly be a selection shock.
