Rumours and Stuff

Penrith is also at greater altitude (25m) than Parra (19m). Imagine if he moved to the Raiders.

So the solution to our lack of speed might be to just become the Kosciuszko Eels

Don't be silly. It's flatter around Charlotte Pass.

I'm starting to wonder now. Do we want to finish 4th and play Panthers who most likely will rest players and take it easy next week. Come out turbo charged and fresh. While we put in 100% and rest nobody against Tigers. Have potential injuries. If we did play Panthers and lost we would most likely take on Souths,Knights or Raiders the following week. And have had played some tough games ( the last few along with Tiger and Panthers)

The other option is to blow the game. Rest guys. And play with low intensity. And play the Sharks without Johnson who would of had tough games against Roosters and Canberra.
We should win and if did we would then hope to face Raiders. They'd be in a few bruising games leading into finals and just played a huge game against Panthers.

It is actualy an interesting situation. And I am leaning towards a better option could be resting guys.

The upside to finishing fourth over fifth is that, assuming you lose in week one, you play at home in week two. If you finish 5th-6th your only home final is in week one.

Home city not home ground.
It would be Homebush.

It is more about bashing yourself. Ideal world is Sharks beat Raiders at 5.30
We just use our game as a training drill. Amd the following week we beat the Panthers and have a week off.

Can you just imagine the vitriol against BA and the team if we rested players next week, lost the game and finished 5th?
It isn't going to happen - professional sports teams don't rest players unless the result means nothing and in our case, not only would the result potentially impact our ladder position, our approach to the finals, the attention the media would give us, and the amount of shit they would cop on social media, @Avenger would hate on BA more than normal and no one wants that.

Strangely, I fear Canberra more than Penrith.

We will smash those Tigers. They have been our bitches for a long time.

If we don't finish 4th and finish 5th say we beat the sharks in week 1 we will be versing Melbourne or roosters in week 2 potentially without Dylan Brown. Finish top 4 and go all out against panthers. If we win we get a week off if we lose we still get a home semi against most likely south's or knights.

A top four finish is a must!!!!

 

[Bandwagon]

I'd also say we wanna go into the finals with not only a win in the last round, but a win that has seen our attack begin to click. We really wanna build some confidence in attack, because we want to go into finals knowing we have enough points in our game to compete.

It's very absorbing!

The likely scenario in week 2 regardless of if we finish 4th or 5th (if we win week 1) is game vs Canbra.
But yeah 4th is infinitely better, can’t be eliminated week 1 and a guaranteed home final in week 2 or even week 3 if we can spring an upset vs Smugfers. Although our home finals aren’t guaranteed BankWest, but I reckon there’s a strong chance they are

I never liked the Lewis-Duckworth system.

Canberra are tough. But they been playing hard footy for a while. Some big efforts. Penrith have been cruising really and resting guys for the last few weeks. I think we are capable of beating both.

I reckon the Roosters will lose to Souths.
