What If We Miss The Top 8 ?

There seems to be a few guys willing to already call that we will miss the 8, i'm not one of those, we are a top 8 team imo.

But what happens if we do miss it? What sort of changes and pressure will that induce around the club?

Way to early to make a decent call but will we make the 8?

    • Dragons will take our top 8 spot. No way they're going to drop off hard
    • Even Manly are playing with more structure and running harder than we are. They would make it before we do
  • Snake I like you But we wont make the 8 and when we don't ill give BA to next year to get us in the top 8 and if he don't I think we should Replace him  only because the last 3 years and this year we had a top 8 side but did not make the 8 so if we don't make next year I think we should think about it and hope Ivan Cleary still round so we get him

  • I think there are only 3 current coaches who have not played semi finals football: Kearney, Barrett and Arthur. Kearney and Barrett would be facing the sack if they miss the 8. Arthur could be too

    • I would be surprise when we don't make the 8 BA get the sack this year 

  • I would rather we just be shite because we have a shite roster , than a have a good roster but we underperformed and miss the finals by a missed conversion . That would be shite.
    • Because our coach is too stubborn to pick any handy goal kicker up in the off season.
  • It's a tough call. We have had so many years of turmoil and had to do another clean out of players last year.

    If we miss the 8 this year, but are close I would be willing to keep BA. (This is his 4th year, even though last year was a write off).

    However if we are well down the bottom and not improving, it may be time for a new coach either at the beginning of next year or towards the middle of next year if results have still not improved.

    There are some good ones in the market at the moment.

  • It'll depend on how things are IF we don't make it.

    IF we miss out on the 8 and have our full strength squad on the park, then questions need to be asked and the ax needs to swing and heads would need to roll. But IF we miss out due to over the top suspensions and/or an awful injury toll, questions will be raised but to a lesser degree and plan B-Z need to be organised to be better prepared next year.

    I personally think we can make it and will finish between 3rd and 6th.
