For and against

It's been spoken about many times, we desperately need to improve our for and against. It could be the difference between making the finals or not. I'd like to think we could really put some points on against a depleted storm side, but I have a feeling it's going to be a close one. Thoughts?

  • If we keep winning, even if it's only by a point our for and against won't be an issue.
  • If we end up relying on for and against then we're in serious trouble. We have 8 games left with only 3 of those against Top 8 sides and one of those being Melbourne this week. A win this week moves us to 22 points and then the bye next week has us on 24 points with 7 games remaining. Even if we dropped the two games against Brisbane and won the rest we'd finish on 34 points and well inside the eight. For us to be needing our for and against we'd probably have to lose 4 of our eight games remaining. Which means this week, the two Brisbane games and one of the matches against the Knights, Bulldogs, Souths, Titans or Tigers.

  • All parra has to do is smash tigers and kinghts ans it isn't a problem especially if they out 20 points on melbourne
  • WHY AM I THE ONLY BLOKE WORRIED ABOUT THIS GAME???? I think we are going to lose.
  • If we finish the season on 30 points for and against won't count on whether we make the 8. It will only count possibly on where we finish in the 8.

  • Totally irrelevent
    • How? If we lose a couple of games in a row like we have intermittantly throughout the year, then all of a sudden it will dictate wether we are in the 8 or not. The four teams below us have a better differential.
  • I'm with George. Most of you blokes on here are assuming tomorrow is a banked win. I heard Moses talking about the top 4 the other day and the whole team seems to have their eye on the bye and a "4 point game". I am very worried about Melb. They will have no expectation on them and nothing to lose. We are talking semis already - what ever happened to one week at a time!! I'm tipping Melbourne ...
    • They still have a good forward pack ( better than ours ) .. Very dangerous wingers who are good under the high ball and a more than capable young half. They are all well trained wrestlers as well....so we won't win the ruck.. VERY DANGEROUS GAME!!!
