Storm may rest players

[tigermaniac]

Let hope if the Broncos win and we can win, helped by the storm resting players, this might just be enough for the raiders to get the jitters and bomb out. Firstly I'll be death riding Brisbane.

Yep i am also hoping for a panthers upset. Brisbane has been terrible of late and the panthers looked good in beating the Titans last week. if not the warriors need to fire up for us. They were pathetic last week and i am hoping a rocket from the coach and sheer pride might lift them for their last game of the year and they are also at home so hees hoping.

That's the thing, we can win and still miss out. What a woeful position to be in.

It's just delaying the inevitable anyway. Even if we make the 8 we're likely to cop a touch up in our first semi game going off what the team has dished up this year.

 

[tigerbalm]

It would be better in the long run if we don't make the 8.

Absolutely no way they will rest players.

1) They did it last year, and it bombed all their momentum and they bailed out of the finals.
2) They are obviously a momentum/form team. They have worked hard to get their momentum back, I can't see them wanting to lose it at all.
3) Its potentially a $100 000 game for them. If they win, and the dogs lose, then the Storm are minor premiers.

Yep, I think that is the end of any discussion of the Storm resting players.

OMG people … Too much negativity.
We're still alive (just), so let's bloody cross our digits and hope.

I disagree with the getting a touch up in the semis thing too ... Form is so fleeting ... If we survive into next week we're just as likely to be red hot ... Who knows ???

Win/lose/make it or not ... Let's enjoy the journey ... And if it goes pear shaped, there's shelf upon shelf of dirt cheap sorrow syrup to be found at my mate Dan Murphys

 

[tig_prmz]

cant see them doing that.. minor premiership is up for grabs. dogs play after us, storm win against us, dogs lose against roosters and minor premiership is theirs.

Short turn around they will rest them.

Whilst I realize their is great cudos associated with winning the minor premiership ( and probably a bunch of cash), I reckon a week 1 semi against the Rabbits is preferable to copping Manly. I think the Storm would opt for second if they were being totally honest. Let the Dogs face the silvers …

I don't think they will worry too much about who they will play. If they are being totally honest then they would want to be able to beat anyone.

yeah they'd be pretty dumb doing it given all of that, especially your first point.

Whilst I want the Tigers to win, we don't deserve to be there, but quite frankly, neither do the Broncos. I'd prefer us to be in there over them, plus the club gets extra cash for finals footy.

Hard to say do the storm want the broncos in the finals or us I'd say broncos cause if we always play better in the semis

And if we played better during the season proper we would make the semis. Our club needs to realise that the season starts in Round 1 and not Round 21.

Yeah we probably do, but doesn't everyone?

05 was 7 years ago and there 3 of our current squad in that side, so its pretty irrelevant. In the last 2 years we have won 2 from 5, hardly a great record.

End of the day, the Storm aren't going to be scared of either the Tigers or the broncos.

It's a ruse.
