We won't win a thing with soft forwards like Lane and Matto in our team. In fact our whole side lacks the mongrel necessary to go all the way. Yesterdays game highlighted the lack of intensity in the team.
Based on last week and yesterdays performance im concerned about our round 17 game, vs the Bye. Dont know if the boys can defend against the bye, could get messy. 😢
If we can't find a way to beat Roosters, Manly, Souths, Storm or Penrith right before finals then we may as well pack our bags because we're just filling the numbers anyway.

We will struggle to make the 8 looking at that unless origin changes things with injuries and suspension

Long way to go before we get there though.
We have 3 very winable games coming up in the knights, tigers and bull dogs before we play Penrith and the bye.
