Round 9 v Tigers

[Panfa]

Not the rain again last time we met that was 80 mins i wont get back again i dont think i can sit through another dour affair

 

[Buzzard Breath]

Rain hail or shine I don't care, if its by 1 point or 10 I just want a win tonight.

 

[Kilkenny]

I am up at Magic Round (have taken a long weekend).

Looks like it is going to rain for tonight’s game. Maybe we will win 6-4 this time?

Your unlikely to see much magic in the early game, ours, but the Sea Eagles v Broncos should be entertaining.

Yep I will take a 1-0 win tonight. We desperately need 2 competition points.

I honestly think if we lose tonight we are gone.

 

[Panfa]

100% a loss tonight and we are goooooooooooone

I am generally an optimistic kind of guy but even if we somehow get the two points this evening being realistic I don’t think we are any chance of making the top eight.

I just don’t see us going on a run of back to back wins and we would need to string together at least four or five wins just to get back in the mix. Outside the obvious top three or four sides the other sides are all arguably playing much better than we are so I don’t see where the wins are going to come.

Tigers
Warriors
Eels
Sea Eagles
Roosters
Rabbits

We need the next two, because we have the potential to go 0-4 in the games that follow given our form. Luckily the Warriors are a gimme, so we just got to get over the Tigers tonight, build some confidence

We're long gone IMO.

We dont have the roster or game plans to bounce back from 2 wins and 6 losses. Win or lose tonight. We aren't going to win more than 7 or 8 games total this year.

Unless we make some serious moves on the player market before June 30 to fix the holes we have.

No such thing as a gimme when you're arguably the worst team in the competition. Unless you're the team playing us anyway.

Winterstein drops off along with Edwards.

Ellis starts at lock.

Bench is Luai, Katoa, Grant and Leota....

Jesus, who needs a bench with firepower anyway?

Pleased for Kaide Ellis. He deserves another crack. Needs to be given good minutes for him to show his best and be allowed to offload which he is very capable of doing.

We've won 9 of the last 11 against them and they are shit this year and it is at home. If we don't win that, we might as well forfeit our remaining games and take a holiday.

I'm not a huge Winterstein fan but I think he should've played this game. Kikau is the only natural edge player we have in the pack and he isn't even 100%.

 

[Panfa]

Ellis goes hard our forward pack should steamroll them tonight

I was going to be very optimistic, predict a Penrith victory, which would be the first of a four game winning streak. And then I saw that bench...

Oh well, maybe Cleary discovered a clue on how to improve our attack since his press conference yesterday, and that bench is somehow part of his master plan.

 

[franklin2323]

After that 17 named. Someone should check on Ivan's mental state

Start him off the bench and gives strike power
