Surely we're going to follow up on the good overall team performance against the Broncs by putting it through Canberra?

Tigers-Sharks-Storm stretch will test us, but if we go into it with momentum and confidence up from another great performance (and hopefully win) this week, then TPB's prediction might not be too far wrong? I still think we can scrape into the 8 this year...

But should we really be scraping in?

 

[Redback71]

if we can muscle up verse sharks defence wise then we should win as they do struggle to score points at times.

i think the tigers and panthers may beat us though.

 

[MarkInTheStands]

But should we really be scraping in?

With the amount of surgery and off season issues, I am not surprised, but I guess it was how we lost that annoyed everyone.

If everyone had been ready to go round 1, and we had stuck with the team that would be a different story.

I was talking to a club official from another club who's club didn't make the finals after a very good run into the Finals the year before and he told me, they were happy to start getting the surgery and rehab out of the way in the first week of the Finals because next year would start well if everything went to plain.

I honestly think we will do better than scraping in. The Top 8 is quite bunched. Mind you, we'd want to get moving as of this Saturday.

Here's hoping.

Obviously not. But we are where we are, and everyone is only as good as their last game... and our was quite OK.

It's taken us longer than it should have, but a repeat performance on Saturday could show we are (finally) ready to compete in this season. It'll need to be a pretty consistent run between now and finals time, as the only thing counting against us is that we've already used two byes to be in the ladder position we are.

If we win this weekend v Raiders, then I'll take the rest of these as wins, except one of Sharks or Storm.

But if we get beat by Canberra, then we will fall apart and lose all six imo :lol:.

next season migranes?

 

[oldmancraigy]

Raiders (h)
Tigers (ANZ)
Sharks (a)
Storm (h) - State of origin players rested
Panthers (h)
Souths (ANZ)

If we manage 4 from 6 then we're at 8 wins 8 losses!

I'll predict:

Raiders (h) WIN 32-10
Tigers (ANZ) WIN 24-16
Sharks (a) LOSS 16-14
Storm (h) WIN 36-6
Panthers (h) WIN 28-20
Souths (ANZ) WIN 34-18

9 wins, 7 losses, +26 differential :shock:

I'm happy to let the optimism fly at the moment! Nothing to base it on - but you'll come grovelling to me for the margins in a few weeks time!

 

[eel4life]

We have to take it 1 game at a time, and to tell you the truth if we play like we did last week we will be ok this week but are we going to play like that ?? thats the million dollar question ...

As to a reason for Fitness or percieved lack of it yes, this year I am talking about consistancy. There has been no consitancy in the side at all over the first 10 games. As far as I can there wont be for the next few either.

The Eels have great record against Tigers - I think last five games = wins
and Cronulla at Endeavour Park the Eels also have a good record (better than @ Cumberland anyway). I think it is four wins @ Endeavour also from last four starts...
The match on Saturday against Raiders has me worried, especially with David having been in charge of the Green Machine training this week with Henry away on SOO duties.

the surgery and rehab wasn't the problem. it was the guys making fools of themselves on the drink. imagine what they could have achieved with another month of drink under their belt!

Gee i hope your footy predictions aare better than your cricket ones PB ;-)

I am well aware of our great record against the Sharks away. But I feel that the Sharks will be a lot tougher than in previous years and I can feel them starting to mount something. They are usually falling away at this point in the season and we are coming home strong. I think this year will be different.

We also have the wood over the Tigers in recent times but they are travelling along nicely and will hit their straps soon.
