  • We can absolutely make the 8 - we're only 2 winds out of it!

    During the Origin period, we will be comparatively stronger than some of our opponents and if we win most, if not all of our games over the next 7 weeks or so, we are suddenly one of the front runners.

    No doubt we have the personnel to do it, but the team needs to believe.  We are a confidence side, and back in 2009, on the back of Hayne's brilliance, even players like Robson and Mortimer looked like world beaters.

    We just need to get on a bit of a roll and, if that happens, we can be a juggernaut of a side.

    • Gee BM, from Marshmallow to Juggernaut all on a bit of a roll. Thats even a bigger transformation than the Last Supper.

    • Good attitude.

    • 2009! Just without the bloke who won 9 mom in a row : )
  • Billy, yes we can mate. All we need is some luck and consistency and we can. Starts tonight. Effort, completions, and execution of plays, and commitment in defence. Souths will be v tough tonight. V hard match this one.
  • The question was, "Can we make the 8".  The answer to that question, both mathematically and practically, is yes.

    Whether we do or not is another question.  Do I think we will? Personally, no, because the team isn't playing well enough at the moment, but things can change...

    • I agree mate, I was only having a bit of a chuckle at our current defence record re my reference to Marshmallow.

  • You would be surprised how much a bit of discipline would turn things around, particularly not giving away penalties and respecting the ball
  • Well... if the nrl allows us to run on the field tonight...then at least we are a chance of 2 points...or then again maybe not...

  • Nope won't happen terrible side no depth wont win many more games this season
