It's totally cope but I am hopeful they'll switch on serious mode for finals like others have said. We have so much experience.
It means f**k all mate.

The Roosters were missing 11 players against the Bunnies who arguably would be in their top 17. They got the job done, not great but probably a better performance than ours against the Gold Coast.

The Storm and Sharks were super impressive.

Yeah it's that kind of season. The fact we're 2nd with so much injury disruption is insane. Awesome but insane. Only really worried about the storm but someone did say their defence is actually kind of bad which surprised me. The Penrith black wall of defence might just be what takes it.

Atm we are playing like the 4th best team from tye TOP 4... Massive improvements needed mentally ! Hopefully nathan is the glue that sticks the jigsaw together over the next few weeks . Penrith will not outscore many teams atm so it's back to defensive grind ...

Big desicion for Ivan this week.
Dose he play Nathan and risk losing him for the rest of the finals series.
Or dose he rest him and hoping the other players win and get us the weeks rest and if we should lose then bring Nathan back for the do or die rounds.
After watching last few games we need Nathan back ASAP.

It has gotten better in the last month but early on it was horrible

won 34-32 and a few scores like that early on

Elevated risk of re-injury to Nathan. Also Ivan might want to get him off in the second half if the game is in hand. Either way we need a back up half. Doesn't have to be Schneider but I suspect it would be.

It’s really hard to know what Panthers team will turn up - the one that made a statement against the sharks or the one that showed up against the titans. Injury riddled or not the Roosters have points in them and we will probably need to score at least 20 to win. I think it will be a tight game and we will prevail by 8. Penrith 26-18.

No JWH, Walker or B.Smith.
Is Radley back?

Panthers should win. But the Roosters will not sit and die wondering. They'll attack

you play Nathan this week - no chance at a 4peat if we dont win this week - we are tired and average.

play everyone this week and put a rocket up their ass - we need to win this as we desperately need that week off - that will be huge for us

this roosters team leaks points, but they sure as hell look like scoring more than us currently

just get it done this week
