Im not convinced

Good opportunity for WT to finally get 3 in a row, win as favourites and prove they can play well at Campbelltown.

I’m also not yet convinced but a win this weekend would go a long way to convincing me.
 
I’m on the fence a bit but think we go top 8 this year , where in the 8 I feel 6-8.
Reason
We still looked lost close to the red zone again against Parra , we had heaps of ball and did little with it , organised attack looked poor close up , needs work.
Head Starts , we need to be more focused to start the games , these games where after 10-20 we are down by 10/12 points we will get hammered by Broncos , Melbourne , Sharks , Penrith , we need to be up for the game from well before kick offf at present we are not , we are warming into the game and the good teams will not let us back they will pump us , if the Parra game was V Penrith the 50 they game Melbourne would have been same result for us , 2:key areas to fix this week
 
Confident based on our performances this year to date. Mentioned above but they are jagging wins similar to us and rolling. WTs definitely a better roster, and in all honesty we could have won v Souffs with 10% more concentration. Our pack has been dominant, but our attack is clunky at times, pretty ugly. This needs to be addressed on the edges, weird lines and running guys out of space so the D adjusts easily. Wasting tackles... For a period in all games WTs rolled the middle and space opened up out wide, get back to this please, Benji. Sure, we are missing centres, but Maka and Tito holding their own so far. Good to see Skelton back in, this will help us out of our 20, no disrespect to the Bears newest signing.... Gotta bring the power in this one, and limit big Dom getting the ball.
STOP walking onto the ball FFS.
STOP with the handbrake TDM.
 
Twal will make it his mission to put the likes of Lucas's on his arse
we have got this straight up the middle
that will put pressure on sandon Smith he will fold so will crossland
we have got this
 
This game will come down to how hard Newcastle are prepared to work in defence. AD at 6 with time and space could run havoc, but if they are up in his face he will continue to strangle his edge and step back inside to face the inside pressure.

If we play a more traditional 6/7, and we are own the middle corridor, Jock should provide the control we need to give AD time and space to operate. (Same game plan v Wahs).

If we don't own the middle it will be a touch assignment until we can get Latu on the paddock and get AD and his edge unlocked.
