I think we are made of sterner stuff this year ( and last ) There have been too many games where we have had some lame arsed excuse to drop our heads but haven't.

There have been a coupla games but for the most part i don't fear the last 15 mins or so if we are leading anywhere like I used to.

I agree. And the stats back it up. We've won something like 15 games of the 9 we've led at halftime.

I fear the Kenny cramp in this period might bite us in the ass one day...

If he weren't such a skilled practitioner I might be inclined to agree, but if there's one thing Kenny offers, it is impeccable timing when it comes to the Kramp.

We all know we have a decent run home with a few winnable games, our toughest being both broncos games. In our favour is playing many games at anz and Thursday/Friday night games to see out the season.

IMO, cows have the toughest draw. Manly faces off against two top 8 teams and Penrith.

Like us, saints and Penrith have a decent run, but in our favour they play each other, ensuring there's one game either will drop.


Haven't bothered looking at other teams draws to see who has a tough draw. The key for us is this Friday if we're serious.

Game on merkins.

A win v Broncos will be massive this Friday, I cant see us beating them but it will give us a good bench mark for the games ahead, and also the return bout in a few weeks time in Suncorp

Hope Bevan can play well at FB and Hoff can play well against his former club. Our forwards aim up as they have most of the year we are in with a shot, but we have a 5 day turnaround and Broncos have had 3 extra days rest to prepare. Will be tough especially 2nd half. We manage a win then we can maybe dream a little what potentially lies ahead....this year.

Manly could well be out of the eight if they lose to Storm and Roosters over the next coupla rounds.
