If the injury ravaged Panthers can't back up in 5 days against the Roosters, people will be using that game as proof that it's the draw keeping us near the top and ignoring the short turnaround, the first 3 halves in pecking order being injured (Wallace, John and Peachey), our first two wingers picked (Mansour and Simmons) on top of the fit players from Monday night being exhausted from a tough fought win with most of our forwards playing bigger minutes then usual.
If we even make a game of it, that proves our credentials beyond doubt IMO. If we win, it's 2 points we shouldn't have a chance at and locks in a top 4 spot basically. If we lose... I think they get a pass for this week given the odds are stacked against us.
Roosters draw is the easy one. Facing competition leaders on the back of a short turnaround, with 3 halves injured, both wingers injured and them having a nice 2 week rest. They lose this and they're a joke.
