Time to move on. It's finally time to move on. Obviously learn what we can out of a terrible Round 9 but I want to get past it now and hopefully never speak of that game again. We have to look forward to the next task at hand in the form of the Warriors on Saturday night. Now, normally, playing the Warriors wouldn't be considered a big game for the most part however, in the context of our Season, this game becomes huge. Potentially even Season defining. Yup, it's that important this weekend. We simply must win!! We have to! If we want to make the right or still reach top four then we have to win this one.
What's more, adding to the occasion is the fact that it's Magic Round up there in Brisbane so I really hope the boys can bring some magic back into our performances and turn it on at Suncorp.
It's not going to be super easy against this Warriors side that's for sure. They have been much like this, very up and down and inconsistent. They have the same win-loss record as us heading into this one and it's probably a Season defining game for them too. That means they're probably going to be equally as desperate as us which can be dangerous. They've obviously had some very poor showings in 2022, most notably the 70-10 loss to the Storm and then again last night against the Sharks. However, they have also had some fantastic golden point wins in games were you wouldn't expect them to walk away with the result. So on their day, they're not a bad side. Like us, they had a poor showing last week and will want to bounce back in a big way which is dangerous so we must be wary. Our first port of call to winning this game is to contain their monster forward pack which starts with the likes of AFB, Lodge, Katoa, and Tevaga. Not a bad pack at all. If we can match it with them through the middle, it will go a long way to containing the likes of Walsh, DWZ and Johnson.
For our boys, well, we just have to be better this week. In all areas, we just have to be better. I'm sick of these bad performances, I'm sick of under-performing, I'm sick of the stink attitude, the dropped ball, the dumb shit, and the flimsy defence. Do better. It's as simple as that. We're a much better side than what we've been putting out there in recent times so Magic Round is a big chance to show that. We have to turn our Season around and it starts this week. We have to hold the ball. I say this every week, we all do, even the boys do and I'm sick of the same old shit. Instead of just talking the talk, it's time to walk the walk and actually complete well. I'm confident that if we do that, both our attack and defence will improve. I just want to see a better attitude from the boys. It stunk last week so time to turn it around.
Significantly, playing the Warriors is always a pretty important game for me. Being a kiwi, playing the Warriors is personal. Got a lot of people I know who support them so there's bragging rights on the line once again.
Must win. Our backs are against the wall no doubt and we have a mountain to climb but sometimes, that's when South Sydney are at their best. Channel that spirit, thrive on the backs against the wall mentality and get us out of this slump!! We can do it!! Fire up!! Bring on Saturday.
