The Road Ahead - We are only capable of winning 3 more games

[ragedmachine]

**Highlighted** the games we _could_ win:

Round 10 - Rabbitohs (A)
Round 11 - Cowboys (H)
Round 12 - **BYE**
Round 13 - Panthers (A)
Round 14 - Broncos (A)
Round 15 - Raiders (H)
Round 16 - Storm (H)
Round 17 - Sharks (A)
Round 18 - **BYE**
Round 19 - **Warriors** (H)
Round 20 - Manly (H)
Round 21 - Titans (A)
Round 22 - Eels (A)
Round 23 - Roosters (H)
Round 24 - Dragons (A)
Round 25 - Rabbitohs (H)
Round 26 - Cowboys (A)

Based on current form, quality of players returning, opposition form and club confidence, I can only see us winning against the Warriors at home. What makes it even worse are the rounds before the byes where we will lose Farah (and Woods if he is selected) for Origin, and if they will back up the round afterward. (If so the Warriors selection may be sketchy also)

Based on each team's performance of the last round or two in the list above, I can't see us beating any of the non-highlighted teams.

This will be a looooong season.

 

[system]

7 more games would be my guess

Round 11 - Cowboys (H)
Round 12 - BYE
Round 13 - Panthers (A)
Round 15 - Raiders (H)
Round 16 - Storm (H)
Round 17 - Sharks (A)
Round 18 - BYE
Round 19 - Warriors (H)
Round 22 - Eels (A)

yep have to agree , I have never wished that the season would be over so soon into a season Before , but the last 2 weeks haven't bothered watching them as the games were delayed and saved myself from screaming at the T.V.
State Of Origin hurry up i'm bored

We can beat Raiders at home and Eels and Panthers away right? Plus there's a few maybe games that we might be able to win two or so there out of 4 or 5.

I wish I was as good as Mac…..Wests Tigers 12 Souths 10....this week

Raiders are just finding their feet, Eels are currently showing more heart than us and Panthers just beat the Storm (plus we always have a consolation loss to them annually)

With Farah playing his heart out through Origin, heaven forbid he'll rest or get injured..

 

[Flippedy]

Yes, well there is always the possibility of an upset or two 😛ray: Somehow I don't think one will be against Souths though, Irvine. I really don't want to even look at, or even hear, this week's game, tbh. Friday night for me will be like having one of those squeamish horror films on that you really don't want to watch, yet you still desire to take a peek at from time to time.

:laughing: , very well summed up

On current form we won't win another game. But as the saying goes, form is fleeting…

A bit like cleavage, you can only steal a glance because long looks just create pain and hunger.

We are undefeated at Leichhardt this season. I think we can keep that intact and win all three remaining games there. I think regardless of what happens against Souths, If Farah and Woods take the field in the game before origin at Leichhardt against Cowboys we should be a big show in that game. Especially since the cowboys rarely play well in Sydney.

 

[pHyR3]

1/1 against the eels with an almost full compliment?

 

[NJLM78]

1/1 against the eels with an almost full compliment?

Im trying to look for positives.

 

[tig_prmz]

given the form we're in.. im hoping we win just one game tbh

 

[TJL]

I cannot see this side winning another game this year and I think in the longer term it will be a good thing.

 

[ragedmachine]

…by 3 games I meant the 2 byes and the game against the Warriors....or am I being too positive? lol

 

[Goose]

they will win more games. … I know the forum runs on hyperbole but we will at least 5 more games, we've had bad moments and clearly aren't playing well, but we have been decent in large chunks before letting our selves down with basic errors

I bet you win more than that

 

[pHyR3]

:laughing: :laughing: i love this forum, it has a memory of about one maybe two games a lot of the time. We'll win more the ONE game excluding byes this season. jeez some people just go with the wind.

if we somehow beat the souths this week there'd be talk of us winning the lot. ITS JUST LIKE 2005 GUYS! :roll

How is this season in any way or shape like 2005

2005 we had a halfback

2005 we had very few injuries

2005 we had a pretty easy back end barring Melbourne and Penrith (still reckon we threw the Penrith game )

2005 we didn't have a big forward pack ,but they busted their butts off and were pretty experienced

2005 the game was so different
