What happened last time media spoke about BA moving on? They got up and a decent end to the year, could this talk lift them to fight for him? Or they could faulter and show their loyalty is wavering?
Every game of late has been an important one but this one will show where we are and where BA is.

Sorry LB, but this is the 3rd or 4th time this year I've heard "this game will show where we're at".
On past occasions, we've either lost or won unconvincingly.
Based on that, we've already shown that we're at mediocrity.
I've learned to have no expectations this year from Parra.
Sorry early for blue eel, Brissy and that for mentioning BA's future in this blog, god forbid you have to comment on everything you read.
This is a team of highly paid professional sportsmen. If they need their coach's job to be on the line just to play to their potential we have much bigger problems afoot.
We shouldn't need a reason to play to win. Our team should want to be clinical and the best, otherwise they shouldn't be professional athletes.
How many people train for an Olympic 4th place finish?
Exactly Cap

Why do we need to lose big to get the kick up the arse to win
This game IS the line in the sand game. There has been some talk all season about how the eels under BA have made some changes this season to the way they prepare to try and avoid another mid-late season fade out. It's been reported the team went away on some training/bonding camp this week so by rights this should be the time the switch is turned on and we SHOULD get a more switched on, physical team from here on out.
Talk is cheap and needs to be backed up by actions, I'm predicting we start to turn it on from here. I will be extremely disappointed if we turn in another lack lustre performance and will be resigned to accepting this as another failed season.
Well a win will turn it around I believe HKF. Not saying we would beat Penrith next week but beating Brisbane gives us a buffer we need
It's not all about winning on Thursday night, for me it's more about how we go about it.
Broncos just have to maintain intensity for 25 minutes and the eels will fold. With Haas and Corigan playing they will rip our forwards a new one.
It could be a case of who is more patient.
