Penrith v Newcastle

[ACTPanthers]

Ok so as I understand it, if we lose (to the f**king Knights no less) this week, we have NO chance of going back to back...

Yep, that's enough internet for me I think...

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Yes I am clear how the Finals system works. If finishing top 2 isn’t important why does everyone strive for it. It makes it a hell of a lot easier that’s for sure.
How many teams have won from 8th though?
Obviously your Footy IQ is a lot better than mine, must of been all those games you played as a junior.

Oh dear. Here we go. I am a woman. I haven't played the game, except in the backyard as a kid with my older brothers, because sadly during my childhood rugby league wasn't a sport for girls.

If your attempting to drag out the gender card.....you might want to reconsider.

As your relatively new on here, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt.

Please re read my response. I did start the sentence saying IF..

 

[Iamback]

And no one ever said chasing teams won’t drop games either.

They need to win 3 more games than us to be knocked out of top 2.

I

will Ivan/Coaching staff be swayed by the Storm result tomorrow night? if the Storm lose - we can afford to rest players as a loss to the Knights still keeps us 4 points ahead on the table. Though you could also look to play everyone and potentially go 6 points clear...

doubt it.Ivan has had a plan on when and where he rest players pre planned out.It worked last year no doubt it will again this year

Like Lamback I'm comming to the conclusion that you're just trolling for shit and giggles.

 

[Girds89]

So when do you rest the guys then?

Lets assume they back up after all the games

SOO1
Newcastle
Warriors
SOO 2
Roosters
SOO 3
Tigers

That is 7 games in 39 days... Which is crazy when you are 4 points clear of 2nd

Well we got it wrong last year and didnt rest them in rd 26 light bennett and every other team who was in the 8 did..

Im not against them resting after origin but i also kinda think do we go hard and than strategically rest blokes come rds 24 onwards once a top spot is hopefully locked away?

Cause rest now wont help the fatigue in 12 weeks..

Last year we decided not to rest blokes and it backfired and we had to go the long way.

The bunnies came out fresh in week 1 and we just couldnt keep up.

I think this week obviously rest the blokes who are battered.. so cleary, martin, yeo and maybe too.

Id play critta and definitley luai. Too aswell if he pulled up ok.

As for the other games i dont think its worth planning further ahead than this week..

Just take it one week at a time.

Whatever, but I am not trolling here..

It's I am back. Nothing to do with baby sheep. Everytime I see Lamback I get triggered, please stop. lol.

 

[Kilkenny]

A few of those tackles on Cleary were more dangerous

I thought so to, but Klein was very Bill Harrigan like.

Storm rested guys in Round 26

Won week 1 of finals

When they played us some guys had 1 game in a month and they missed the start. Lost as a result so no way is better but we have a soft draw right now.

I notice only 4/6 trained today

Hopefully Martin and Yeo have been told to have the weekend off. Relax for a few days will do him wonders

Alexander on radio said Yeo out martin and Cleary highly doubtful

I am sorry so it's an I not a L ?

Correct ?

I question does anyone actually want the wrestle in such games?

Give me an open game any day

Alexander on radio said Yeo out martin and Cleary highly doubtful

Hopefully Martin and Yeo have been able to go home

 

[mxlegend99]

So you would be comfortable with a loss on Sunday?

Did losing to teams in Origin period last year hurt us?

We won the premiership. So who cares that we lost a few midseason games?

Last year our roster was busted by finals. We know we're finishing top 4 no matter what. From there we just need our best 17 available and our chances are the same if we finished 1st or 4th. Just need to smash Storm before the grand final which we saw last year was easier to do than in the grand final

Correct ?

Yeah. It's been mentioned a few times by various people. You hadn't seen any of those comments?

Don't feel special though, you aren't the only one to read it as an L.

No I haven't seen such comments. LOL. I kinda pride myself on calling folks by their correct name.

soc123_au thanks for telling me. I had no idea.
