Will be interesting to see how they handle the Galvin/Sexton situation if they happen to lose a couple more. For our purposes I’d like to see them beat the Wah’s this week then turn to shit.

I think the decision to get Galvin and drop Sexton was unwise, not a coincidence they've looked worse since. I think getting Galvin is going to be a good pick up in the long run but this mid season change to one of your key positions.
Probably looking at jagging B2 or Harry Grant. They leave the Rorters for dead salary cap wise atm
No Connor Tracey for sure and they also miss his hit ups and attack from the wing. I’d be putting Burton at fullback and be playing Galvin and Sexton in the halves. Galvin’s last minute cut out pass against the goons to win them the game masked his mediocre performances. The real test will be against the Wah’s… Rorters…Storm….Pennies and us over the next 5 weeks.
Yep Pennies got out of jail big time in that one. I’m still filthy about the trainer thing. While I don’t think it was deliberate….should’ve been another kick in front of the sticks when he missed the goal. Ultimately would have taken the 2 point field goal out of the equation.
They didn't go out as per programme,
One of the few times the hybrid worked well, will be interesting if they use Critta more going forward
I don’t think it quite works in terms of adding our bye points now - that only works if the other teams above us also lose on our bye weekend, otherwise, we just stay the same.
I should have worded that better, Critta played a lot of the fullback role.
We have won 12 games vs their 11. This puts us alongside the Warriors if no points were given for byes. But as you say it makes no difference if we don't win. Storm and Broncos play each other twice. Panthers play Storm, Raiders and dogs. 4th is wide open and the bookies have us at $3 to make it just behind the Panthers at 2.40.
Yes but we’ve played one extra game. That’s one extra chance to get another win. The bye only helps us if the teams above us lose on our bye week.
Exactly what I was saying. Which means we need both Warriors and Panthers to lose to jump to 4th.
I dunno if the Pennies have the consistency atm to get past the Dogs….Raiders and Storm in consecutive weeks. They were extremely fortunate to get past the Gold Coast on the weekend. I also think injuries will play a significant part in the run to the semis. Storm aren’t the same without Hughes and the Dolphin’s lost Herbie last week etc. As far as it being the weakest comp ever…pffftt. Been a long time since we’ve been about a month out from the semis and possibly 5 or 6 sides could could realistically win the comp. I love the unpredictability and evenness of the comp.
Yep pretty much nailed it Chimp on all counts. The bye is guaranteed two points but it’s not guaranteed that those teams above you are going to lose as well.
