Results have gone against us this round.

I was really hoping the win this round would put Parramatta into the eight and right back into the mix but other results have gone against us with the top three sides losing to other top eight sides.

 

It looks like we are just going to have to keep winning because the other top eight sides are not going to give up their positions without a big fight.

 

I reckon 30 points is now a minimum to make the eight.

  • We were never going to be in the top 8 after this round. We have to win the next 2 games and then we should be in the 8.
    • Wrong. We were a chance to be in eighth spot by the end of the round if other results went our way,
  • Just makes this Saturday's game at home against the Roosters so important, with the week after in the Gold Coast which will be tough.
    • It's gonna be a hard win against the Rosters... they just had a good win against the Broncos at home... Carney is on fire... whether he can match Hayne is a different story though ;-)
  • I've been looking at the table too all weekend but you know what?

    If we have to step it up and play our arse off to make top 8.......then bring it on!!!!!!!

    I would rather get there by winning then by other teams losing.....

    Parra all the way!
    • Excellent point. Bottom line is if Parra keep winning then they'll be there. It's when you get in a situation whereby even if you are winning all your games that you are still not guaranteed to make that you start to worry.
  • I agree with both of you but the cut off line keeps creeping up, two weeks ago I thought it was going to be 28 comp points now I am sure it is going to be 30.

    Still as you say, better to have momentum and keep on winning.
  • Nothing wrong with this round. Many games this week featured top 8 teams against one another and someone has to lose. No doubt Parra made ground this week.
  • Results may of gone against us, but aslong as we win we will be there at the end. i believe its crucial we beat the roosters, and win atleast one game in QLD.
    • We will win 5 from our last 6, keep this response and put salt and pepper on it and serve it back to me if i am wrong.

      The toughest game will probably be the Broncos game but if we win that we might lose to Souths or something odd on the way home.

      30 will guarantee us top 8, one team will probably squeeze in on 28 but that shouldn't be our aim. We will get to 30 no matter what but i reckon we will hit 32 and come 5th and that will be pretty perfect, 4th would be even better.

      One game at a time i know i know but check this;

      Roosters Game = Win because we are on a roll, they have short turn around from tonights game and we are at home
      Titans Game = Win because they are shot without Bird, so what they beat Dragons they were due to lose
      Broncos Game = 50/50 but i think we can win because we owe them but a tough game
      Tigers Game = Win because we owe them and we are at home
      Souths Game = Win if we lose to Broncos but could be a win anyway because its at ANZ and we love it there
      Warriors Game = Win because we owe them, we are at home and its the last game of the year and we want momentum

      My gut says we will lose one out of the last 6 i just don't know which one
