If the Roosters being upset on Thursday wasn't reason enough to take this game seriously, that Eels game surely will.

Also justifies Cleary's decision to not rest anyone, even though I was advocating for it earlier in the week.

Let's rip in tomorrow, and hope for no more injuries.

This game is even more important now. Getting two points with all the ladder chaos at the top with Roosters and eels losing will be huge.

Coming away with 1st place midway through the season would be great
It will be the second time in three years we've held 1st place at the half way mark. If we can do it.

We're also now favourites for the Minor Premiership at $2.88 (sportsbet). It's a friendly run home.

Of course.

Name one person (With a brain) who said we'd be first at this time of year. It's a remarkable turn around.

I expected finals. Didn't expect Crichton to come on so quick

A lot comes down too how ordinary the rest of the comp is

It's more than Crichton coming good. The whole attitude of the team has changed. Good recruitment as well, Barrett and Korisau have been excellent purchases.

And it's a very unique comp. Unforeseen changes with covid and that crazy decision on six again rulings. Easily the best season of Rugby League in a very long time.

Ivan the Terrible has been usurped by Ivan the Decent.

In our wildest dreams not even the most biased fan would have seen us sitting first at this point in the season.

Some things have worked out incredibly well for us that couldn't have been planned for. Ontop of the development of Crichton, the signing of Api and the form of Cleary without Jimmy (i think was signs that would happen) and arguably the biggest shock... Edwards looking handy passing the ball.

The more we win the more confidence we build to be a team thats as good as our ladder position.

I'm more worried about this then I was a day ago. The pressure of needing to win to be first will be a factor, when it hasn't been for the last month when we've played before parra.

I get that you are excited by the way we are going at the moment but there is a long, long, long way to go in this season.
