Two points is two points, Warriors were a decent opposition in a bit of form.

Panthers I think will be a challenge too great for this mob next week, although we are the only team to have beaten the Panthers all year.

There's still too many deficiencies to rectify in too short a period of time before the Finals for mine.

panthers 3 weeks ago had 58% of the ball and completed at 88% (along with 42 warriors missed tackles and 12 errors only 23 / 9 today). Yet only won by 6.

the warriors have been pretty good recently including today

Keep grasping those straws.


We are so far off the top sides it’s not funny. Penrith are going to ambush the f**k out of us next week unless we pull out those amazing moves BA has been hiding.
I reckon if Panthers don't put 50 on us mate then they have failed to show they are the real deal. Seriously, based on comments from posters on here and the Fox commentators we are that shit house that we probably deserve to be fighting the Dogs and Drongo's for the spoon.

What straws am I clutching at?
We have played 17 games and won 13 of them. Whether we can perform in the semi's remains to be seen cause last time I looked there were still 3 rounds to go before we need to worry about that.
One week at a time.... One game at a time.

I hate it when I look at the ladder every week and see how our shithouse team are performing.

I know it seems ludicrous that we’re whinging when we’re outright 3rd with three weeks til finals, but for me it’s just so frustrating to see how we’re playing after seeing us playing to our potential (Or much closer to our potential than now) earlier in the year.

Our attack looks clueless and I think on Fox they said we’re 15th in attack since round 10.

Added to that, the top teams are beginning to peak and are near full strength. I don’t see our issues being fixed this year.

You be happy with that, we had all the ball and scored 2 tries with a man up due to a dodgy binning. 16 nil lead and we let a side with about 8 first graders out and nothing to play for almost run us over. BuT wE aRe RuNnINg 3Rd!!


Just making up the numbers.

Chocolate Soldiers are due for a loss and will not want to go into the finals on the back of a ridiculous winning streak. Slipperys are specials for this one, get on it @ 2.75 and thank me later by way of fiscally appreciative gestures, merkins.

Moral victory for the Warriors, mental loss for the Eels. Personally, I gained no satisfaction from that win. We still have flat footed attack, sus defence, and won that one with the rub of the green. An Eels supporter doesn't live to 110...FFS!
its round 17 - there are no moral victories - you either get the 2 points or not

You can paint it any way to Sunday, we're done for this year. I'm being realistic, we aren't up to scratch based upon what I've seen over the last couple of months. We can sugarcoat it all we want.....akin to putting lipstick on a pig.

Yes they have, I think what some of us have over looked is how good they actually are

They slaughtered the Knights last week

I think the Penrith game on Friday will be pretty close, hopefully the under dog tag will suit us nicely

One week at a time.... One game at a time.

Friday is fascinating. The Panthers have not really played anyone decent for a while but they have been taking care of them easily when they need to.

We have such mixed performances based on who we are playing and look anywhere between a top 4 side and a wooden spoon team in the same game.

We just need to compete and stay with them on Friday and that will prove where we are in terms of premiership aspirations.

Agreed. And a loss next week gives them time to build again for the finals. I got on us at that price too. Easy money...Probably...Maybe.
