Does anyone else feel like a win/loss this weekend will dictate our season.
Personally, I think a win here would be massive. It would put us as 3-2 with a fairly soft draw. This would be a great result considering the teams we have versed, and would put us in the early finals picture
Conversely, I think a loss will be dire. I'm not too sure why to be honest, I just feel like it will put to sleep any finals run aspirations despite how early in the year it is.

It won't be make or break but it is a game where more fight needs to be shown.
Our line speed and first contact is the worst in the comp and there is no excuse for that. This is basically the same squad as last season, particularly the forward pack and after a poor start to last season we finished the season really strong with wins against top 8 teams.
The boys will bounce back.
anyone hear Moses struggling with a injury & in some doubt?
I don't remember a time when Moses hasn't been struggling with an injury in the last 3 years. Age is definitely catching up to him. I hope he manages to stay on the park this season.
It's why I've brought over the last week when does the club look past Mitchell.Do we continue paying 1.3 per fully knowing we aren't premiership contenders or do we continue down the path of least resistance saying ow well Mitchell or bust.
We know the elephant in the room I feel it's just prolonging the inevitable if we don't make some significant signings to align with Mitchell's prime.
Then again look at the opponents we have faced, tough opponents that will get him battered and bruised.
More likely he is struggling to find the motivation to play behind such a pack of absolute plodders.
It is not make or break but if we get done and Gold Coast beat us, then perhaps.
I just don't know how our soft pack are going to contain the tigers monster pack. I think junior has to start at 13 and big sam to start. Teacum brown to the bench to.
We're already broken. Twice we've been lapped. We're just making up the numbers now. Finals would be a massive, massive achievement.
I hope we get there but since when has making the 8 been a massive achievement? I'm old enough to remember when winning the comp was the realistic goal.
No, it's round 4, no need for the early season dumps.
Last year we were 7-0, we lost against the Tigers and we thought we were done, Origin came around and we began to pick up some form and came home strong. This year we've had the hardest draw to start the season, and we're 4-2, yes, we have some defensive issues, but we are showing some good signs in attack, we've just have tough games against the best teams in the comp.
Tigers are playing well and are sadly not easy-beats this year, so this isn't like getting done against the wooden-spoon team as your blog suggests. This is a game where we need to see some defensive resolve and fortitude. I'm looking forward to it.
