Do we get Jacob back next week too? He'd be due soon surely.

Yep next week.

Wouldn't be surprise if we rest Daniel. Saifiti for Saifiti.

Yeah, he is back next week

Yep next week.

Dan needs a rest, but I daresay he'll only get it if it actually helps his shoulder. It may just be one of those "grit your teeth and bare it" things that you have to manage. It's definitely hampering him, but to his credit he's having a real dig out there. They all are.

Just saw Zac Lomax scream "f*** me dead" after the Dragons conceded a try. Nothing happened.

Because the ref didn’t see it that way.

 

[Jono078]

Just seen that Tanah Boyd has kicked 27/29 goals this season. Geez that must feel nice.

 

[Jono078]

In addition to the above, Boyd went 5/5 with his conversions... and they ended up giving up a 26 point lead to the Dolphins lol.

 

[Burwood]

If you’re Sheens, do you bring Klemmer back on? Tigers have looked much more dangerous since he’s gone off.

Edit- looks like he came on a minute before their last try.

 

[Jono078]

I've done some calculations and there is a really strong possibility IF we lose to the Eels in round 9... we could be sitting in 2nd last at the conclusion of the round. Brutal and not exactly deserved. It's such a close comp. We were looking at top 4 if we beat the Panthers last week..

 

[Yosh]

Regardless of our position on the table, the fight the team has shown in 90% of matches is real sign of progress. It might not show on the ladder this season but I'm super confident the team is headed in the right direction and should be a regular top 8 side in coming seasons.

Considering goal kicking is the difference in a few results as well. If you just watch the games we're a mile ahead of where we were last season with improvements to come.

Next year we get a fullback who can catch and a weapon on the edge. Things feel on the up now that we don't see 7. Clune.

 

[Burwood]

I keep hearing about games lost because of goal kicking, but the result against the Cowboys didn't come down to it.

We missed a kick and lost by 2. If we had gotten by six instead of 4, maybe we could haven't taken a earlier 1 pointer?

 

[Burwood]

And Holmes, who is a much better goal kicker than anyone in our team, missed a very easy chance on the stroke of halftime.

 

[Woosh]

Pryce can kick goals.
Old man does too.

 

[Jono078]

Warriors really taking it to the Storm and playing some beautiful footy. They'll be 6-2 if the finish the job here and one of those losses was to us.

This comp is so close it's really hard to gauge where we stand but I do think we're top 8 calibre on our day.

We're now 3 points outside of the 8. This game coming up against the Eels is going to be another cracker that goes down to the wire I think. Both teams will be desperate, or at least should be..

lol, did you have this 5 year old tweet bookmarked or something?

 

[Woosh]

Plenty more in my corn stash
This is the spot Miller keeps missing from.

 

[Old dog]

Ponga should kick from right side, Miller from left anything near middle toss a coin

Anything near the middle get one of the Saifitis to toe-poke it through
