2022 Week 1 Finals Games (Non Parra)

[Chipmunk]

If we lose to teh Raiders and don't make the Prelimary Finals this season, I'm of the belief BA will have failed to have met a KPI (final four finish), and the club will insist he begins an exit pathway - whether it's couched an off-season or mid-season "retirement". I think this is a fair outcome under the circumstance, if BA doesn't produce a better outcome following last season's two point loss at the same stage, to not .

I'd be surprised if he hasn't already met his KPIs for this season.

I reckon they will be reserved seats mate.

Bummer. Thanks mate.

Melbourne should've been favourites against us. Like it or not they have a better team, even with the injuries.

And I'll say now that we are better than Canberra, but not by a lot. Forget the ladder position, it's points differential that tells the truth about a team's quality. But we still deserve to be favourites against Canberra and it will be a failure if we lose at home next week. I wouldn't say that if we'd lost to Melbourne. I would be sticking with the bad luck line, because finishing top four and then meeting the Storm in week two of the finals is horrifically bad luck. I'm very glad it didn't happen.

You'll be $100 up next Friday night.
Of course we will win. Surely we won't blow this one. Would be an epic choke

If Moses doesn't play how much does it affect us you reckon.

I would be surprised if we beat any of the teams still left to be honest...

I wouldn't.
Cowboys are capable of stinkers. So are Canberra. They don't have great kicking games in comparison.
Sharks blew that game last night. Embarrasing loss. Self destructed

He will play. But even without him we are a chance.
Cowboys play hot potato. Their form isn't great the last few months

I'd be surprised if he hasn't already met his KPIs for this season.

My mail about 4 weeks ago was that one of BA's KPI's was making the prelim. This was seen as potentially a make or break KPI for whether he would remain as head coach in 2023.

Once we finished in the Top 4, it was put to me that "sacking a coach that makes the top 4, isn't the done thing" and this made me start thinking that maybe the Prelim KPI was no longer make or break.

Since Friday night's loss and the fact we are now in sudden death to make the prelim, it is more likely that he will now stay for 2023 and the changes in coaching support such as Barrett, etc. as well as the work Nathan Brown (the bald one) is doing with reviewing our elite patchways, etc. will be seen as big enough changes.

Personally, I think the possible targets we had for a replacement coach have fallen through resulting in us being less willing to take the gamble of replacing the existing coach (who has some level of success) with a totally unknown who may actually set us back.

On the player front, I reckon Ethan Sanders is going to train with the full time squad in the offseason. He had a pretty good year in Flegg and could easily overtake Jake in the halfback stakes.

I dunno, but it wasn't Waqa that's for sure.

No I won't. I put $500 on the Raiders.

Pou came home with a late charge but I think it was still a draw.
