LIVE GAME Round 20 v Titans

[Speed2burn]

Just saw ladder. We are effectively 11th once 3rd bye is given.
We are 2 wins outside top 8. You realise how vital those close losses are. With a bit of luck we would have been in the 8.
Only problem now is the remaining games. I hope I am wrong, but I can't see us winning more than 2 of those games ( Cows & titans).
Said it earlier, a finish in top 12 would be a reasonable improvement from 3 spoons.

Yep we are done and dusted. Realistically we might fluke a win and hopefully beat the Cows & Titans when we play them again but that’s about it

To'o & Martin could very well be out vs Tigers.

I was pretty happy with how we played them last time.

Then we get the Bulldogs- a game I believe we will be up for vs the Galvin effect.

Sea Eagles are carrying a lot of injuries atm as well.

There are reasons we lose all three of those games.

But. All the former Panthers vs their old team makes it a little bit of a wild card. The Bulldogs game should have Luai etc fired up after all the Galvin trash.

Next 2 weeks define 2025 for mine.

Benji may not be a master coach and I do agree with the comments about attack cohesion, 1 percenters, etc.
But clearly the squad play for him. And it’s not just the PI boys. Twal, Sayfarth, got off their deathbeds to play and while they are both somewhat limited, always give 100% effort. We have criticized the team in previous years under previous coaches for being peahearted and just capitulating. Say what you will about how clunky they might look and some of the dumb errors, but we do finally have a team that is all effort and doesn’t go away all game. It means you don’t win big or easy, but you don’t lose easy either. The only game this year that needed a mercy rule applied was Melbourne. Most of the others we were right in with say 10 to go. And that’s also against some pretty good teams - Warriors, Raiders, Panthers. We have a team that has a dig.

Has it been mentioned that they kept playing loud music at the start of our attacking sets at the game? Looked like it made our communication difficult! At least we played like it did.

These guys "May" be special 😉

Settle down and check the upcoming draw !

Would not mind a couple of their players though.

Sure are, both natural footballers.

Nothing like the 8th on a Sunday arvo.

Bird needs a stint in KOE . Killed the attack , and gave away the try . Yuck ..

Have said it before and I'll say it again just for the record, can we piss Bird off!

Spewing I couldn’t make today’s game .. making sure I don’t miss the cowboys one though.

 

[hank37w]

Luai has been in everything for the blind crew!!

Great captain's knock!

Showed his intent when he shunned the headgear before the game!

Receipts incoming for the "we should have bought RCG" dimwits!

Would have been better off signing Julia Gillard.

At least she would have put all those misogynists paying out on poor old Belinda in their place. 🤣

 

[hank37w]

Grateful for the win boys! We would have lost that game in years gone by. Taylan is going to be a very good player for the club.

After seeing what a shit team we are he'll probably decide to sign with Souffs.

 

[hank37w]

Why are the commentators acting like we can still make the 8?

Of course we can if we win our remaining 6 games.

I noticed Benji chatting with David Fifita at the end of the game.
Hmmmm ....

 

[hank37w]

Douehi summed it up post match interview
He said because of so many positional changes their attack was clunky
I think this is obvious to everyone except Benji

Doueihi needs to be careful with his comments re: positional changes, Benji might put a stiff arm on him at training during the week.

They do train don't they?

 

[hank37w]

He didn’t have the match fitness … he’d played 1 half of footy in 2 and a half years …

Where do you get this 2 and a half years from.

I know I'm old and time gets away on you, but 2 and a half years, really.
