3 in a row, an impossible dream?

Just got to thinking, is 3 in a row a possibility? We haven’t done it since April 2018 when everybody was on some sort of bus, that overturned somewhere in between Leichhardt & Concord in Oct 2018.

Despite the rabble we have been this year we have won more games then last year, with a realistic possibility of another two wins. Can the boys lift once this year and knock off the bus drivers team?

Opinions?

To qualify, I feel that with Mikaele and Liddle missing on top of the rest of our injuries in the pack, it means guys like Stef, Blore, Tuilagi, Simpkin etc have to play big minutes and they aren’t ready yet. We’ll be rolled in the middle. Additionally Laurie missing hurts our attack against decent defence as he is the spark in our backline.
I think we fall short by a try against Sharks and get a brutal raping from Penrith.

Penrith owe us, they will move heaven and earth to take us down, NO is the likely answer?

But anything can happen.

They have been counting down the days till they get revenge.
The Leichhardt crowd gave it to them hard.
Those that weren’t playing that night were all there to witness it.
If the boys don’t aim up, a massive score is coming

What are the stats for this year? Have we won 3 in a row yet? I think we have won two in a row on two occasions. So odds of 3 in a row are pretty slim. We are more likely to win one of the three.

Yeah the Riff were steaming inside when they got called out for what they are at LO, we all know Ivan is a lying sack of sh#t and the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, they will take delight in giving the WT a hiding ,so it’s up to our boys to grow a spine and stand up to them.

Doubt it. The Sharks were terrible on Sunday however were still better then what we dished up V the Cowboys. They get Moylan back this week whilst we lose 2 of our starting forwards. Think our 2021 season finally gets put to rest Saturday afternoon.

Yep seen this scenario alot the last 10 years. Beat the sharks and panthers and then only have to beat the dogs for a garanteed spot and lose like 26-10.

We can do in the Sharks.

Mikaele runs hard but he's got nothing between the ears and it's probably good for us that he's not there to drop the ball three times, amble back into the defensive line and give away a dumb penalty. It'll be harder without two specialist hookers.

Big ask from Simpkin though.

Honestly I thought our season was over after two rounds, I think it says a lot about the state of the competition that WT are still a chance of making the 8 considering how sh#t house they have performed as a team this season.

I guess Mbye will cover the 9, when Simpkin needs a spell and Cini then covers the 1?

If we are to be a chance, this is the game?
