Another one of my should wins crossed off. Correctly predicted last 5 results now. Hope my streak is broken now though, predicted 2 losses coming up.

Next two games are very losable, so I'll be over the moon if we can win one of them. Sea Eagles game in particular will be a great way to gauge how our season is going and if we look like contenders. If we can compete and push them in that game, regardless of the result, you'd have to rate us a chance of going all the way - Sea Eagles certainly the form team this year in my books.

so whats the best result for us tonight? I'm a little conflicted.
If Broncos lose thats a 2 point gap down to the 7th and 8th teams and it will affect their +/- which is close to ours. If they win, they overtake us and if they win against again on Saturday, its a 4point week for them.
If Penrith loses we close the gap on them with +/- and only one win behind them, and they are sitting in 3rd place. If they win they move a clear 4 points clear of us sitting in that 4/5/6 position...

Don't really care about the effect on the ladder (six of one half dozen of the other as far as I'm concerned), but I'd probably rather play the Broncos next week coming off a loss - so I'll be cheering for the Panthers.

Well, that result drops us to 7th and next weeks game could leave us in 9th if we lose to Manly and Storm and Cowboys both win...
At least they have tough games. Storm @ Broncos and Cowboys @ Bulldogs.

tbh, i can only see us finishing 7th or 8th after that display. We basically handed them the game, and then when they tried to hand it back to us, couldn't do anything.

The way we regularly fall asleep in the last 15 of the first half is very, very worrying.

I don't think it was that bad.
The Broncos are a decent side, they were at home, and played very desperately.

We were rubbish for 15 minutes but I was happy with the second half turnaround and it became anyone's game after that. We should bounce back fine.

I'm not going to be too worried after our first bad performance for awhile. They would need to be consistently doing this for it to be an issue. As it stands, I'm willing to view it as a once off. Only issue is we have a very tough game next week, so we have every chance of losing that even if we play well. 3 very very should win games after that though, even if we only nab 2 of them we would be up on 26 points...should be right from there hopefully. Our points differential is like an extra win over all the teams below us right now.

I just really hope we don't suddenly slide and start losing games we should walk over
Basically what happened last year...

We have a great run really, top 4 is a very realistic target

2 points between 6th and 13th now. The potential to slide very far and very quickly is there. Can't win them all, but really would have pulled clear by beating the Broncos.

Couple of results went our way Friday night footy.

Newy pegged back the Rorters

Storm pegged back the Broncos.

Sixth is ours again if we can beat Manly....no harm done from the Broncos loss.

Good position to be in.

Broncos will not stay in the 8
Roosters will not make 4
Warriors have no excuse to climb into 4th spot within the next month

Thank you Sharkies
Thank you Knights

Even if we lose we won't be screwed too badly on the ladder.
