24 hours ago, I was so hopeful. I seriously thought we could push for a finals spot and be a serious darkhorse.
I didn't think we'd beat Melbourne, but I thought we would put up a very good fight and come away with positives despite the loss. After the first 10 minutes, I was as hopeful as ever, which was mainly due to that Sean Russell try with 12 men. That was short lived.
Players like Ryley Smith, Pezet, Simmonsson, Jack Williams, even Brian Kelly I was very excited to see. These players (apart from Kelly) had strong seasons last year and I couldn't wait to see how they developed. I know it's early days, but they all seemed to have gone backwards, especially Ryley who was virtually a speed bump.
with that said, do we have any hope for 2026. I know it's early days but that is not a performance you put in the back of the mind. It was one that exposed so many issues.
However, it would not surprise me in the slightest for us to come away with a win next week, and we are all back on the Bandwagon

We will never know haha
I respect their opinions Nitram but,to come out and put shit on a player who didn't play in the game is ludicrous. If he had said Junior, JDB or Pezet you could understand.
Sorry Poppa but you knock players a fair bit in the past and have played more FG than you have if using that argument but i hate that arguement.
I believe you have watched a movie and said it was rubbish, but you have never made a movie before so why should you comment?
Your probably right LB but as a school teacher how many kids have you chastised when you know how many times you have done the same as a kid?
Yes, plenty of hope.
Realistically we will never be a team that wins a comp its not in our DNA we will aim to be a top 8 team maybe at some pointba bit of luck leads us to a GF every few years but we are a make up the numbers club always have been always will be.
So our goal of top 8 competive footy is still alive just with lower expectations i guess.
While the Eels looked absolutely hopeless, it only cost us 2 points and some embarrassment. We will improve enough to make the eight. I doubt very much we have the players to be playing finals four footy. What we do have is a good coach and 5 or 6 good juniors coming through. So we're heading in the right direction. Might take some time.
I still have hope we can sneak into the 8, but nothing more.
Well don't feel to bad now 1 minute to go warriors leading chooks 40 to 18 😂
look what happened to roosters when warriors had heaps of possession and penalty count.
