Our run to the finals

[TheFrog]

Nah, the warriors F/A is terrible. We should be able to lose to them and still make the top 4 if we win the other 2 games. They’re 76 points behind us.

Then we'd have to beat the Storm. They were sloppy today, but I wouldn't count on that happening again.

Yeah that’s why I say if we win 2/3

 

[billypilgrimnz]

I didn’t see that tbh. Plenty of errors, clunky backline plays & sideways movement.

For sure we were worse, but I don’t think that game or Souths v Roosters were particularly high quality games. Both can play a hell of a lot better though.

Both Roosters/Rabbits and Storm/Sharks were high-intensity games with fine margins and tough players going hard at each other.

We are nowhere near that.

But we still keep winning!

We are nowhere near that.

That’s just the standard line whenever two good teams play average against each other.

Absolutely right. But a week is a long time in footy.

 

[OldPanther]

Two weeks in a row all the results we've needed have gone our way. We could finish well inside the top 4 now.

Not playing the football we are. If we don't improve by at least 50% and we go 0/3 from here

Ciro and Wal will get them up for it. I hope.

Wise words from Mr Fittler:

We beat the knights playing at our current level, but ideally we towell them so we can pad our F/A

If we really smash the knights & lose the other 2 in close games we could still make the top 4. Depending on other results of course.

 

[Tronald Crump]

Need to win at least 2 of the last 3. We don't want to go into the finals with 2 losses on the trot.
Ideally we get better each week.

 

[MrBlack]

Have a very bad feeling that we finish 5th with the Tigers sneaking into 8th.

Imagine the publicity of us playing a knock out semi against the Tigers.....

The NRL would live it. Marketers dream.

Would be even better at a capacity Panthers Stadium.

That'd be amazing.

I just dont want to face Storm 2 weeks in a row. Any other scenario is better

Would be fine by me A very easy game.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Will Chambers looks like he’ll be out of our game against Melbourne.

I could actually see Bellamy resting some players for that game depending on their position.

The finals effectively start next Friday versus the Warriors.
