Nine games left we need 5 more wins to guarantee a Top 8 finish.

 

[jas83]

I think we will struggle to make it. But who knows with the Tigers we might go on another run

 

[Tigerdave]

We can make it, but last nights game was just awful, we were awful. It's like we went backwards to the beginning of the year.

 

[tigersrule4life]

We will make a big run were to good of a side not to wait untill we get a full team out there.

 

[Gary_Bakerloo]

We need 6 wins to be sure. 5 wins will go down to for and against.

 

[stryker]

6 wins with that schedule is a big ask. The last 4 are going to take a lot of juice out of the boys.

The fact that we dropped games against the Raiders, Souths (our worst loss in this context), Roosters and Knights means that now we will have games against top 2 sides and others against teams that are desperate to make the 8 that have become must win. We can do it…but it is the dumb way to go about things. You should win all of your easier games and then muscle up against the better sides where a loss can be used as a learning excercise for the real work in September. However if you drop your probable win games, you really have to bust your arse to make the 8 and then you face a new, upgraded competition with your energy levels on the wane. Especially this year...the top 4 get a leg up in the finals series. At this stage, it looks doubtful we will be one of them. Therefore I predict we will need more like 7 wins to have a slight buffer and grab 5th or 6th place.

a week at a time from now on. this includes this week, focus on mental strength, attitude and structure this week THEN bulldogs the week after.

no point looking at what's gonna happen after the week, EVERYTHING can change in a week, in a game, in a minute (ala cashmere)

 

[izotope]

Tigers aim up v decent opposition

we will probably drop games to Eels, Panthers, Roosters…

 

[Juro]

28 will usually get you in the top 8 but you may be relying on for and against. We're already on 18, with another 2 next week thanks to the bye. So that means we need at least 4 out of 9\. I have us finishing 7th or 8th.

You sure as hell wouldn't want to have to win in round 26 against Melbourne to get into the finals though…

 

[Knuckles]

We are good enough to win all of them.

 

[tig_prmz]

We are good enough to win all of them.

suggestions as to why we're not?

 

[foreveratiger]

We are good enough to win all of them.

That would be one massive turnaround in form. I like your optimism and keeping positive.

 

[Adman]

:sign:

 

[Charman]

Not what ?

 

[happy_tiger]

Lot of clubs we struggle with in that list

On last nights form , we would struggle to win 3

But on the other hand we can win 7-8

Depends who shows up Jeckyll or Hyde

 

[Goose]

We need 6 wins to be sure. 5 wins will go down to for and against.

4 wins will get us there (we will end on 28)
6 wins will get us 32 points, which gets you top 4 most years
