Season 2023: A Write-Off?

[yy_cheng]

I just listened to the tct podcast and he said we have only lost by less than 10 for all our losses.

However, that's misleading as we are playing catchup in alot of those games

Well, yes and that's the same reason the stat about Hands/Hodgo and the points we score when they are on the field is also misleading.

According to our beloved Kenty

“Back-ended contracts are illegal in the NRL,” Kent responded.

Is that because they (allegedly) choke your salary cap?

Allegedly gives you no breathing room in future years.

I still can’t cop that we are worse than the shit teams hovering around the 8.

We haven’t been great but I think we will climb the ladder and ultimately make the 8.

I hope so.

Our remaining home games at Commbank are all winnable. We should be winning 5 of them realistically if not all 6.

Cowboys - No Origin Players (Nanai, Cotter, Holmes, Taulagi)
Manly - No Origin Players (DCE, Jurbo & Possibly Turbo)
Warriors
Titans
Dragons
Roosters

That means we just have to find a way to win 3-4 games on the road from our remaining 7 games
Souths
Bulldogs
Dolphins
Cowboys
Storm
Brisbane
Penrith

Thats great lets lose all our games by 10 or less....

 

[TheParraboy]

Considering we have the bye rd 27, if we miss the 8 (and dont have to rely on rd 27 results)

We become first team in history to have a Mad Monday a week before the official Mad Monday, for teams missing out on the 8

Or do we enjoy two Mad Mondays

That would be silly.

Actually Warriors in 2005 had a bye in round 26 and finished 11th.

And we play more conservatively in the first half but it did shet me when horsborough was off and we didnt spread it. Just one out into a conpressed defense

Just had a look at that season

We beat them twice over in NZ, once in Hamilton other time in Auckland

Cant remember that we ever took a home game over there

4?

Our game is also a Thursday in round 26.

Imagine relying on results there will be 15 games to sit through before finals.

2005 & 2006 - We took a home game to Hamilton/Waikato and won them both and played the warriors both times.

I think its where the Tigers are playing them this year.

It seems like a scam tbh. We'll make the 8, get thrown out Round 1 of the finals and then we'll be back to it again.

Like the Roosters last weekend?

Plenty of teams frontload their defensive efforts and can’t sustain it. That’s why we need to stay patient and come home with a wet sail. We have the team to do that. We just need to complete our sets rather than shit ourselves and look for the easy option when the defence makes it tough. Let them wear themselves out. Even Penrith have shown their defence slows down if they’re unable to dominate possession.

We’ve had a couple of big wins too.

It will be very exciting.

I dunno. Are we good enough to be up for two Mad Mondays in a row?
