If we can get healthy and stay relatively healthy it shouldn't matter who is in front of us. We have one of the best squads and coaches in the league. If we continue to be afflicted by injuries of course the season is going to be a struggle.

To get to the bye at 5/5 knowing we'll be close to full strength for our traditional charge through the origin period will be a huge mental boost though I think.

I hate losing, but I hate losing even more when you die wondering because of injuries. How many points are Whare, Wallace, Mansour, Manu, Idris and Segeyaro worth?

At full strength, we can take it to the best of them. The question is whether or not we can slip into the 8 with these injuries. I'm worried about having to limp over the finish line which, given our games here on out, could be a pretty tall order if the injury plague continues the way it has been.

The way I see it, we've been absolutely cruelled in 2015 by injuries. I don't know enough about strength and conditioning but for Penrith at least you begin to wonder if heads need to roll (before heads actually literally begin to roll).

We're not going to reach the heights we should, but our season isn't over so long as the 8 is within reach. We showed a lot of grit last week, and as long as the team keeps that psychology we'll win more games than we lose - but we'll need some reinforcements quick smart.

5/5 is a must. 6/6 is a must for the 2nd bye. Rounds 20-26 we can make a run but need to be in touch of the 8 by then

Yep not very optimistic. Major injuries, new guys just aren't quite there. The rest just can't do enough to win.

Well, we somehow won the last 70 minutes. I'm not prepared to give up just yet.

We had 2 weeks to prepare against the team coming last. Yet got ambushed... Poor starts in most of our games this year. Look at our draw the next 6 weeks no chance.
