Game means little.

Game means little ?

Win we play the Tigers at home (assuming they beat Sharks at Leichhardt), lose we play Broncos at home.

Tigers can only play solid at best, good but beatable. Broncos have so much more in them IMHO.

Game could be the difference between playing the Broncos, Sharks or Tigers depending on other results.

No such thing as a meaningless game.

Well first we need to win by 12 to leapfrog them. Brisbane can pick who they'd want to play also by trying to win or purposely losing to the dogs.

Then it wojkd also come down to who would we rather play?

Brisbane with 1 days less rest and having to travel to Sydney twice in 7 days

Or

Sharks/Tigers with 2 days less rest and playing a finals game a week early.

What if Brisbane throw game?
What if Sharks win and bring Johnson and Moylan back
What if we win by 10.

WHAT IF WE WIN BY 11???

I'd be suprised if Broncos beat us at home tbh. We where ordinary the other week for most the game yet scored 4 tries to 2.
We would have N.Brown back while they'd get Ofenhgoue. Brisbane have not been out of QLD since the 7th of July. Round 16. Thats 8 weeks ago.
Lets see how it goes playing in Sydney twice in two weeks.

Your point was the game means little. Derp it means heaps.

We need to beat the dirty eagles simply to give us a lift.

With Trbojevic out there is every chance we could put a score on them if we play at our best.

Even before thinking about who we'd rather play, that's gotta be better than three straight losses into the finals?

Your comment that the game means little was bad and you should feel bad.

Not if we treated the game like a training run. You let the boys no its all about next week. Try a few things but dont bust yourself this week.

If Mannah hasn't been sighted in NRL since rd 11, doubt he will be unfortunately

Ideally would have loved to see him given a run few weeks back, see if the fire in the belly is there, especially without the captaincy burdon

His papers seemed stamped

I agree with you and others.
We need to go into the semi's with a win. For confidence purposes if nothing else.
We can't go in with 3 losses on the trot.
It would especially be important to beat an in form team like Manly.
And on that basis we need to pick the best possible team.
Does Tim offer more than Alvaro and Gower at this stage? Yes i think he does.
Must win Fri to go into the elimination semi the following week with a much needed confidence morale boosting win.
Have to say im fkn pumped we are in the semis and cant fkn walt to go to the game on Fri and then to a jam packed Bankwest the following week.
If the opening game at Bankwest's atmosphere was something, then this will be even more fkn insane...Go the Eels
