The Run Home

[TheDMC]

Vatuvei, Johnson and Lillyman each dropping the ball cold in the first 15 minutes bringing it out of our end. Game over there. Can't even blame Cappy, Maumolo, or Lolo for that. f**k we suck.

Yep. That's when we lost it. Never recovered from giving then that easy possession in our half. The rest of the game felt inevitable after that.

How do we fix this we seem to do it a lot?

At least part of the problem is our sloppy passing.
Lobbed passes you need to watch to see how quickly they are dropping and it gives the opposition time to target you.
Good crisp, flat passes to the midriff are the answer. Our passing is poor.

It's over Dude. You got heart though

So are we officially out? Im not sure of the points thing..

 

[JJ]

still a mathematical chance to get 8th, I think...

Hope so..

I got credit for having heart lol. Im just not a quitter!

Titans lose their last 2, we win our last 2.

That's the only equation left for us.

That's the only equation left for us.

The fact the Titans have to play Panthers and Cowboys gives us hope. However, I'm more than realistic in thinking the Titans won't blow their chance, or that we're capable of not capitilising if they do.

We may have won our last game for the year, this feels like a familiar late-season collapse.

Let's all be Panthers fans on Saturday night, it's the key game.

 

[KeepingTheFaith]

I can't see us losing next week, and the Panthers will win.

Why? Because the season wouldn't be complete without a round 26 all or nothing choke at home.

 

[Benek]

I said it after the bunnies loss and I still believe it: I won't be surprised at all if we don't win another game this season. This is classic late-seasons Warriors implosion. All it takes is one loss and we're done.

 

[Big Marn]

Didnt the Hayne Train get knocked out yesterday? Whats the rules on Concussion? Do they have a minimum time off playing they have to adher to?

 

[Penrose Warrior]

I actually reckon we're going to make the eight. And that's me, the classic Warriors pessimist.

We'll beat the Tigers in NZ, they were woeful v the Panthers. Without Teddy they're a very, very average side. Then it's the Eels, who are just about cooked.

Conversely, the Panthers are looking pretty good and I reckon they can get the Titans up there. Then the Tits need to beat the Cows away. No lying down for either the Panthers or Cows, they will be ripping in big time to earn home finals.

Having said that, it doesn't make our season any more note-worthy...unless we were to win a final. Which on current form, we'd actually get completely flogged by the Cows again in NQ or the Broncos.

 

[JJ]

I'd really like the Titans to make the 8 TBH, we need a shake up - we need the coach gone etc... but they've got every reason to be down next to Newcastle, and every week they turn up, and put in... remember they lost in one way or another DCE, Seizer, Roberts and Myles... they were a shambles....

 

[Penrose Warrior]

I agree JJ. They are so, so much more deserving of a spot than us. As I said in another thread, I'm prepared for short term pain for long-term gain of getting a new person in charge, who knows how to coach at this level. So many of our guys have gone backwards or at least haven't gone forward since 2014.

But is there anyone here who fears 9th (10th) will still see the coach retained? Honestly, I feel like it's a 50/50 proposition. If we beat the Tigers we're guaranteed 9th, and I just have this awful feeling he'll hang on. Then we'll all lose another season of our lives.

 

[Philip_Smith007]

Eels looking good early against Raiders in Canberra.
Last round win is no guarantee.

Massive fear!
The only reason we would logically keep him is that no one else will come.
Could be the whole, the coaching position is open for all to apply, including Cappy and they appoint the best that applies.

...Then the Tits need to beat the Cows away. No lying down for...the Cows...

Just as well we've played them back into form then, ay?

Yeah...it's a massive fear of mine.

 

[WithTheDawn]

It always ends up coming down to mathematic chances with us, doesn't it? As rubbish as we have been lately, those 3 golden point losses have really come back to bite us. Just one win in those and we would be looking good at sneaking into the finals still.

An outside chance, so I'll keep my hopes up. Not much else to do anyway. If the Panthers can win Saturday at least it makes our game interesting - the Tigers would then have as much to play for as us as well. No doubt we would bomb it against the Eels anyway though...
