Nightmare of '05 and '01 cant be re-lived

The lead up to this game has a bit of a Cowboy's Preliminary Final 05 feel about it and to a greater extent the 01 GF. This is going to be a long week... Surely thru lessons from the past we don't get complacent this week!! I know I won't be getting too cocky anyway!

  • different players. we should compare this to 07. We won in new zealand no one picked us. same as yesterday. in 07 we won our second game too. didnt get complacent.
    Most of our squad is the same from then. So we know how to play finals right? Does that give you a bit more confidence.
  • I know what you mean, hopefully the guys who have been there a while like Hindy, Caylo and Burt remind the young guys of what can happen. Although maybe there is some merit in not saying anything at all, dont put the seed of doubt in their heads.
  • The simple fact is we've never beaten the Titans! Nothing to be cocky about here, there a bloody good football side and if they hadn't of gifted those few tries to Broncos they would have knocked them over. If Scott Prince is on fire, he can rip any sides to shred.
  • they will be ok. they wouldve crumbled yesterday if they couldnt handle it. if they lose it will be from not playing like they have been..... not from nerves.
  • I would also say that under the influence of a new coach, our preparation for all our remaining games will be noticably different from that of the past!
  • there is another difference we had a weekoff and hindmarsh didnt play
  • all true too. i think we will win this week
    • One game at a time!!!!
  • Yeah so close before,,,,,,,,, but so far!!!!

    The boys should stay focused on what we are going to do on Friday nite, than worrying about the opposition

    As long as they can keep the momentum up!! and keep believing in each other we are home!!!!

    Before in Finals matches we have been guilty of just not turning up like in the Cowboys game and expecting to win! but moreover in the big games I think the biggest area we have been guilty of simply not staying composed under pressure I have lost count of how many times I have watched where we surrender leads through absolute brain snaps from all players mostly throwing passes when they are not needed and simply not on!!

    The boys proved in the Dragons game that they can stay composed and handle the pressure ( minus the mateo pass) and just grind it out a win if we can take that away from the game and apply it for the rest of the games, along with the defence and self belief we can go all the way!!!
