I think we have reached a pretty pivotal part of the season. Players starting to come back from injury, other clubs starting to be hampered by Origin selection, and also a pretty good run with scheduling for us.
Next 5 rounds:
Round 10: Panthers (a) but still in NZ
Round 11: Raiders (h)
Round 12: Bye
Round 13: Broncos (h)
Round 14: Knights (a)
Interesting thing to note with these games are that:
a) All the games are on a Saturday which gives us a 7 day turnaround
b) Panthers, Raiders, Bye and Broncos rounds are all in NZ meaning travel is also at a minimum and players are at home for a month minimum.
With the above information in hand, how many points should we be targeting?
In my opinion with a possible 10 points up for grabs. I would say we need to get at least 8 points. (We can at least lock in 2 for the bye)
The only game I can see us having a reason to drop is against the Broncos because they are class. Every other opponent is there for the taking.
8 points in these next 5 weeks should see us well and truly into the 8 with hopefully a positive F/A.
Our current position is 10th Place with a -42 points differential and with the Eels looking like being stripped points, we should move up to 9th pretty soon.
Would be interested to hear other peoples thoughts.. I for one am very surprised at what a good draw we have for the next 5 weeks
