The Run Home

[OldPanther]

A few more 20 point wins and well be bumping up against teams with a +60-80 f/a.

I think we need to accept that our f/a is shot this year. We'll just need to win more games than anyone we need to finish on top of. Big wins are nice but aren't really going to be more impactful than close ones.

You're spot on.

Yep, I think you are right. But I do feel we can compete with most teams, maybe all of them. Further improvement would be needed, though, as the coach continues to suggest.

Broncos v Warriors ending in a draw is a bonus.

The perfect result for us. We have the footy gods favour. Turns out the human sacrifice works.

Not so good for the sacrificed human, but all my loved ones are accounted for so well done.

The trick is to use under 16s for the club in question.

We now have a better defence than Cronulla. Even when we were playing s..t the worst was 34. Nearly half the points against came in 5 games. Since we lost to the Tigers we are probably the best defensive team in the comp. The old saying says ‘defence wins premierships ‘, and in that respect we are currently about the best!
Where there’s life there’s hope!

Big night on the drink mate? Im all for positivity but wow

 

[forby]

Have to be positive when I'm OS yet again. Watched the game yesterday on my phone whilst in a taxi in Bangkok.
The best defensive teams win premierships, and for the last 7 weeks we are the best defensive team in the comp! It gives one something to hope for!

Stats during the origin period mean very little really

 

[Dave's mate]

That's not to say we haven't clearly improved

 

[TheEroticGamer]

What a weekend of results for us. Absolute kiss on the dick of our finals hopes.

18pts and 8 games remaining 28pts will definitely get us in the 8 even with a bad for and against 30 or 32 could get us a top 4 spot.With games to come against dragons raiders bulldogs sharks broncos titans roosters knights 5 wins gets us in the 8.4 home games remaining we win all those only need to win 1 away game and that should be easy against the dogs.Our next 3 games are crucial we win all those we will be in a great position.

That sounds dangerously like a sure thing.

 

[Panfa]

I accidentally had titans in that last 8 rds its actually cowboys we play.

 

[herbert henry1908]

I think the top 8 cut off might be 26 points this year.

 

[Panfa]

Maybe if you have a good for and against we will probably need 28 to be safe i noticed a lot of teams around the 8 are playing each other in the last 8 rds.

Depends who the other teams are around us. The cowboys and Tigers F&A are only marginally better than ours.

Just a have a feeling the 8th spot will be on 26 points, whoever it is.
