Much Needed Win - Next 5

Hi Lads,

Very big and gutsy effort by the team tonight, as the title says, it was a much needed win as our next 5 games are going to be a big test of our character. Before the game tonight i had a look at our upcoming games prior to Origin 1 and was quite worried that if we lost tonight that we could go on to a bit of a losing streak.

AWAY - Round 8 , 23 Apr COWBOYS VS EELS

- Very hard team to beat at home and really our first away game from Sydney this season

HOME - Round 9 , 29 Apr EELS VS BULLDOGS (ANZ)

- Always a big clash, i can see bulldogs coming into this match after 2 wins. Brett Morris should miss this game

HOME - Round 10 , 13 May EELS VS RABBITOHS 

- Hard to pick for this one as it is so far out, would depend on how either of the team go in their recent matches, Adam Reynolds injury is TBA

HOME - Round 11 , 23 May, EELS VS STORM

Another home game which is great, i have a good feeling with this, but storm do love their Monday games, i am also not sure if the origin team is picked prior to this round or after. (pretty sure after)

AWAY - Round 12 , 30 May, KNIGHTS VS EELS

- You could say this is a given, and would be a good morale shot towards the bye, the origin selections should not affect newcastle at all.

These are a few of my opinions or reflections on the next 5 games. i also want to say a Thank You to some of the guys in the Forum and Cupboard chat with welcoming me to the site. Please share your thoughts on how you think we will fair on each game

  • Big road trip next week. But what about the rest. 9 days!!!
    • Yeah i didn't get that, why a massive break? Rabbitohs will have a 10 day break then

  • Yeah i still don't get these "home" games at ANZ where we traditionally have a bad record. We have already won there this season though against the Tigers i think. All these games are winnable and we will be favourites in at least 3 of the 5. Souths may be a different side with Reynolds back though, but i'm not rating Storm this season. Knights are a different side at home and we will have Scott and Jenko in Origin. Bulldogs is 50/50 as usual, but should beat souths, storm and knights.

    • Yeah i'm for beating souths, storm and knights. I'm also not rating Storm this season, not sure because billy is out or they arn't clicking.

    • oo just remembered chambers is out also

  • Reynolds is back this week for Souths.
    • Ah dang!
  • Apart from the cowboys game I feel confident we can win last 4.
  • All tough games should win. Cowboys will be a big ask but if we defend like we have so far I think we will have a great chance of beating them.
  • I thought the test started last night. Manly at Brookvale Oval was never going to be easy. I think they should take one game at a time. If we can get one over the Cowboys at their home ground that will be massive.
