This team is about as likely to win as finding peace in the middle east.

As likely to win as a team taking the two points when they are down by thirty...

Slightly better than zero I suppose.
It's been a very long time since I've totally written off a match, i.e. Tigers have next to zero chance of winning and I'm just hopeful for something respectable. That was my normal for Balmain in the 90s.
Somehow there are higher expectations these days for being competitive every week, because despite how bad the Tigers run has been, the best sides IMO are not as far ahead as they used to be in the 80s and 90s. Some of those Broncos teams for example were near untouchable. The main difference is back in those days conditions often made it hard to rack up cricket scores, either the speed of the game, leather balls, 5m defences, fewer full-time professional peak athletes, sports technology etc.
These days the game is so fast and professional that teams can certainly destroy their opposition on given days, but you don't see them doing it week in and out. Like how we beat Cowboys by 60 and a few months later they put 74 on us.
Weird vibe this weekend, to hope for respect. The Roosters aren't even really that great a side, compared to Roosters teams of the past.

There are some extremely big odds around this game
Oh goody Klein! As if it’s not already stacked against us!
Has Crichton knocked out one of Klein's teeth? There is always good news if you look hard enough.

Our only hope is if the Roosters players get so over excited that they keep going for hero plays, stuffing them up and keeping us in the game.
If they play the same game they did v Cowboys, we will concede a record.

It's like the planets have aligned to see the first 100 point game of NRL
That's it. The only way we've even got a slight chance of scoring.
In PSSA, you can call the Mercy Rule at 50 points against. Is that a thing in NRL?
That's Benji's plan. Wear them out from scoring tries in the first 70 minutes and then we strike.

I’ve done something I have never done , I took the chooks at +51 at $ 9 and I put it in an all up place bet with some horses , not a great look but il take the cash of it comes off , I just feel there is no way our team get up for this game , I’m predicting the biggest loss for us ever , we played 10 minutes of half decent footy last week , 70 minutes of roosters inform is not going to be pretty
We actually have a slight positive record under klein
Something like.52% win, 48 loss
