Can we go all the way?

[CrazyMatt]

Well, that should put to bed any talk of this "premiership" nonsense. LOL!

Relax. It's one game

 

[HaroldBishop]

Brisbane, Souths and the Cows have all had ordinary games of late. We've been up for a while so I'm not overly surprised by tonight. The key is how we back it up next week.

I was semi-kidding but point taken. Just hoping we don't meet these guys in the finals, they seem to have the blueprint to beat us.

Imagine if we had to wait till next monday again next week, glad it's 3pm sat get back on the horse,

I just hope we don't have these 2 refs again otherwise we are ****ed

 

[Mark^Bastard]

50/50 us making the 8, and that is being optimistic.

Old boxing cliche. Styles make fights.

50/50 haha. **** you really are pessimistic.

Still rekon we are 50:50 to make top 4.. Once we get the taste of tonight's game out of our mouths. Time for flanno to have a team camp at kiama or Gosford seems to work for others

Nah, even a negative bloke like me reckons we should be in the 8. I think 6th is the most realistic now.

 

[Riverside MF]

Lol @ everyone that's votes yes.

We have a lot of opportunists on this forum.

Although I don't class myself as a pessimist.
I'm definitely a realist.

And it's a realistic no.

Just to remind everyone what I originally said.

And in case everyone forgets.
5 try's to 0 tonight.

We make the 8, I'm happy.

That's being a realist.

 

[SharksMichael]

After the delusions of grandeur I had after the Cowboys game, tonight's result sure was a kick in the balls.

You miserable prick. As Riverside MF would say you need some "opportunism".

You expect us to go 9 wins to finish the season before finals? Rather drop them now than the business end.

No arguing we fell away massively tonight. Our line speed in D is what has been the catalyst for our good form, and it culminated a bit against the Cows last week. It was a massive effort last week and after the efforts leading up - minus Fifita(s) and Taga - I'll cop a loss. The sides above us bar Roosters have had just as many or more bumps in their road the last few weeks.

I think we're fairing alright for a side with not much doing in the halves.

After the delusions of grandeur I had after the Cowboys game, tonight's result sure was a kick in the balls.

Lets hope thats how the team feels and gets their **** back in order against the Tigers & Parra. Those games will tell us a fair bit.

 

[oozy]

I can't say I agree with this. I've very impressed with the team as a unit at the moment, the footy is good to watch and we will very likely make the top four. There is great reason for optimism this season.

House of Cards. mark my words , some peeps are living in a fools paradise.

For the record, I pray for the day this club holds up the ultimate in september.
It just wont happen in our lifetime unfortunately.

I dunno how old you are mate, but lets say you got 10yrs left - where do you feel we're lacking so badly that we can't fix it in a decade?

 

[oozy]

fix?
1. Recriutment based on players KPIS that have dynamism not cerebal palsy would be a start.
Lesson 2 next week.
thats all for now.

I was gonna ask about "dynamism" then you mentioned facebook and I realised you're one of them dick heads. No more explanation required, I'm sure you've got crayons to chew.

 

[Proud Shark]

I dont think this round has finished our top four chances, but i do think its now pretty well out of our hands.
We must at all costs win the next three games, and hopefully win them well to be firing come September.

Souths play - dogs, broncos, roosters
Storm play - knights, cowboys, broncos
Sharks play - tigers, eels, manly

A top four finish requires us winning 3/3, Souths 1/3 and Melbourne 2/3.
Not impossible but hopefully results go our way this week.

No chance of the Top 4 imo. Need Souths to lose two games and us win the rest. Plus there's the Storm to deal with. I'll be happy with 5th or 6th now.

Which is still higher than I thought we'd finish.

With a better kicking game and well better halves next year we'll be a better team. Souths will be weaker with no Luke too so really a Top 4 should be their minimum goal. Roosters will be weaker too so there's some spots available above us.
