It means plenty to the players, fans, club etc.

Like most fans I hope for a really good performance and a win.

Just like the Broncos achieved against a Dragons side on Sunday who were only minus Hunt. A vastly under strength Broncos got the job done and I hope we can do the same.

Might mean nothing to you, might mean nothing in respect of the minor premiership or top four, but it does mean something. It is a win, 16-1, that means something.

We are paying $1.01 to win the minor premiership, we are home

Every team is only a couple of injuries away from disaster, 6 points clear or not. Our draw is also far from easy..

Would take season ending injuries to both Nathan and Yeo for us to even be a chance of not winning it

Winning is important. Winning with an under strength side is even more important. It breeds confidence amongst the playing group that the fringe players can get the job done if called upon. The Broncos playing group would have taken an enormous amount of confidence away from there win against Dragons on the weekend. We can do likewise if we can beat the West Tigers. Suggestions the game means nothing is silly. It means everything. If we lose against a side who are shaping up as wooden spooners, there will be question marks around our depth. We don‘t want that. It really does mean something.

How much did it effect the 2021 premiership again?

Are you happy to lose?

2021 means nothing now.

The whole suggestion the game against the West Tigers means nothing is so stupid it belies belief.

Not running out of steam like we did in 2020 AND 2021 is what actually matteres. The 2 points here mean sweet FA

We’ve rested our entire SOO contingent for this weeks game.

We didn’t run out of steam as you suggest in either season it was just the cards we were dealt and in respect of 2020 the more accomplished side got the job done.

2021 speaks for itself, nothing more to be said.

The two points on Sunday is not the issue, even if that escapes you.

It means a lot to me, I’m sure it means even more to the seven players filling in for our origin players, but again you don’t have the intellect to understand what it may mean to those players.

We 100% ran our of steam both years, players like Martin badly.

I hate losing but the premiership is what matters above all.

Rubbish.

The 2020 loss was we got done by a combination of a lot of things not least being a better side on the day.

The 2021 win was arguably the greatest premiership win overcoming adversity of all time.

Winning the 2021 GF doesn't mean we will win it this year.

 

[WestyLife]

Winning the 2021 GF doesn't mean we will win it this year.

Agreed but losing to the tigers during origin didn't really matter in the grand scheme of things and won't this year either.

Did we run out of steam we finished strongly in the grand final one or two things go our way we win.Then nothing is said about running out of steam.inexperience cost us a slow start

 

[Aliceinwonderland]

Surely it's important to play each game on it's merit.

To say a game is unimportant is a very slippery slope to descend.

That type of mindset within a team culture (I believe) is dangerous.

It's important that each player picked is willing and ready to play the best game of his life.

In the same way of saying.......team is easy to beat. That is a lie, the complancy lie where a team runs out expecting others to put in the hard work whilst they coast.

 

[Iamback]

Interesting that they have stuck with Iongi as the fullback in NSW cup and named Turuva in the centres.

Lack of depth options at centre but also Iongi can really only play fullback

And the chasing pack has an easy draw?

Every semi we won. We had huge amount of luck. We were no where near our best in the finals

It really is that simple. The Origin guys need a rest this is the best time to do it

 

[Iamback]

The Staines situation is a tough one, given it is suggested he is on $350k. Almost every other club has at least one established fullback, some have two options, so I’m not sure where he gets a start in his preferred position. He could do with having a blinder on Sunday to put himself back in the shop window so to speak.

Not sure he starts fullback but can play Fullback somewhere
