Rd21 2023: Non Parra games

[TheParraboy]

Garrick's only kicked 2 from 5.

Sharks are done. Manly will finish the round one point behind us, breathing down our necks to jump us if we lose against Storm (and they coast past the Dragons).

They got Roosters, Penrith and Warriors after that

Plus we have a secret weapon left =================== The bye

Cronk....'"the Sharks needed to be the next to score".

Actually yeah, that's a pretty tough draw. But they finish with Bulldogs and Tigers. so I think they'll get more wins than we do, tbh...

I would not rule out the Cowboys missing the 8 either they have a few hard games which I think they will lose.

56-0 at one end of the field.....lol

 

[Avenger]

Plenty results went our way this week.

 

[King-Gutho94]

Plenty results went our way this week.

Except the most important one which was ours.

It's a trick to lure us, entice us then leave us with our arm chewed off come finals time.

That's a big call given the form they're in.

To be honest it's been a train wreck of a season for the most part. The positives are that Gutho has always set the staandard throughout regardless if we're being done like a dogs dinner, Penisini is improving along with Hopgood and Hands . On the other side of the coin Poolaw is regressing, Dylbags has set a new standard for f**kwittery and our ability to overcome adversity as a team is virtually non existent. At least we lead the field when it comes to suspensions....so there's that.

Are they though only game they really played a good team was the Storm.. maybe us but we were not going to win up their missing players.

Beat Panfers missing Cleary..

They are on par with the Sharks for me.

They've beaten four teams in the Top 8 in the Storm, Panthers, Souths, us since they were beaten by us without the Origin players. They've also beaten Manly at Brookvale.

You can only beat what's in front of you.

That's great like I said only team they beat that were at full strength were the Storm

 

[eels_fan]

Storm just becomes a must win for us next week

sharks are no chance against Penrith, so a win see’s us jump them.

it’s sharks, eels and rabbits playing for the last 2 spots in the 8.

sharks arguably have a tougher run than us.

Both Panthers and Souths were only missing one player, and have beaten other Top 8 teams without them.

The Storm and Souths didn't come close to them really, either did if we're being fair dinkum.

I would not rule out the Cowboys or Raiders missing or fighting to make the 8 looking at their run home.

There will be some surprising results leading to the finals.

South's....

Lost to Dragons had a bye lost to Cowboys beat Warriors lost to Dogs.

Not a great measuring stick.

Panthers were without All of thier Origin players and Cleary.... And only just lost.

Yeah, but the Cowboys wouldn't have had any Origin players either, who were pretty woeful when we played them without their Origin players too.

Look at the team lists Panfers had Salmon at 5/8. Plays cup now..

Of course and yes you beat what's Infront of you but I don't believe their form warrants them making the 8.

For them to make the Top 8, they're up against:
- Souths, who you have pointed out aren't going that well
- Sharks, who have been abysmal of late
-,Raiders, who aren't a great side, but you only have to beat what is in front of you
- Storm, who are nowhere near the team they were in past seasons
- Parra, who are just having one of those seasons.

Outside of Panthers, Broncos and Warriors, there isn't much competition in the Cowboys way (or any of those teams above if they can put it together).

The Cowboys could be half the team they were last season and still easily make the Top 8 from here. They will make the Top 8 well before we will, and there is really only 9 teams in it
