If we can't win this weekend I'd say we are going to struggle to make top 8...... To lose against Tigers and Newcastle would show we are closer to the wooden spoon fight then the top 4.
I think we win by 40 to be honest. Against Tigers we where terrible but still almost won. We won't be that bad all season.
This will be the kick start the side needs.

I predict we win 8 of next 10.

That’s a big call. I’d be happy to see it, but I reckon we’re more a 6/7 from 10 - and I’m fine with that providing come the last 10 games we’re a 8/10 team as that’s when it’s most important heading to the finals

Tbh, you know your footy - and I tend to agree.

We were woeful against the Tigers, and still nearly won (we didn't, and in all honesty, wouldn't have deserved to - but we did almost win).

Bump it up to 75-80% effort, minimise the errors, bomb it to Ponga and smash him (lol what a cat), and we got this.

Why did we bother extending him than?? If he can't be relied on or at beat is only ok for 8 min stints in the NRL then what's the point?

I'm not BA so I can only guess.

Maybe BA thought he could get him to tackle, or maybe he doesn't see him as a team defender at all, he only wants him to play in an offensive line for the last 10 mins against a tired defense.

There aren't any x-factors that are fringe players and cost jack shit, but he can be useful in attack, so other than the fact he was cheap I have no idea why he was re-signed

I recently heard that at the start of the year BA was keen to give Cartwright serious game time this season, but at the moment he is not happy with Bryce's attitude in defence and so is 'off him' a little. I am sure that will change throughout the season.

Tend to agree. We'll bounce back. I still think we will finish the regular season 4th.

Could explain a lot.

Also, its a nice reminder that most of us keyboard nuffies know f**k all about what is happening behind the scenes. Doesn't stop some people flapping their gums with a foolish degree of certainty but it probably should.

OK but let’s focus in that time that he shifted Dylan to centre <insert he’s a utility ! joke> because he had no faith in Carty’s D.

Ponga has his big contract deal now so hopefully, he has nothing to prove and plays like a dud.

Gotta laugh at Benny though, no one wants to play for the Dolphins, they are really struggling.

Seeing some concerning signs throughout both the off season and the first few games. Hope Im wrong but I cant see us beating Newy this week.
Some significant concerns but I hope Im worried over nothing.
Perham under the high ball
Regs injury. He could hardly walk on it.
Opacics injury. He didnt look good either.
Mahoneys brain farts. Gee he made some errors last game.
Nrown also appeared to be carrying an injury.
Anticipated return to a bash and barge game plan with no offloads to minimise errors.
Non effective defence.
Slow PTB.
A bench thats totally out of form. (Edit. Except for Matto)
Not feeling very positive this week about our chances but desperately want to be proved wrong.
Lets go boys.
