Hardened for Semi Final Football.

Posted by RealEel on August 22, 2009 at 11:43am
Although I haven't done the maths, it seems that for Parramatta to be a certainty in making the semi's we will have to win our remaining games.Given that we will be playing the Panthers, who on their day can be as hot as any team in the comp, and the Dragons, who are bound to bounce back under the guidance of Wayne Bennett, it seems we will be involved in some tough football over the next couple of weeks. Add to this the fact that we have won 6 in row (against some pretty hot teams) and the fact that last nights game had all the attributes of a semi final style game, if we do make the semi's we will be hardened to the sudden death pressure of semi final style football.IF we do make it, the other teams will be undoubtedly looking over their shoulders at us.My only concern is whether we can maintain the intensity for so many games. I hope we have not yet peaked.GO THE EELS!!!!!!

    Mate i can tell you now the teams are already looking. I do agree however the next two games will put us in good stead if we are to make the finals.

    My only concern are the players being physically fit...I think winning 6 in a row will prolly start to do some damage.

    Hopefully we are more hardened than the Dogs!
