A win today against the Dolphins would have made this assignment a lot easier. These are wishful predictions for our last 10 games. I think getting to 14 wins will be just that little bit too far.

Rd 17 knights away (AD & AT return) - W
Rd 18 dragons away - W (origin)
Rd 19 wahs home (maybe Sam F. return, back end of origin) - L
Rd 20 dogs away (Sam F. back) - W
Rd 21 raiders away - W
Rd 22 eels home - W
Rd 23 bye
Rd 24 dragons home - W
Rd 25 roosters away - L
Rd 26 cowboys away - L
Rd 27 panthers away - L (maybe rested W?)

I reckon roosters and cows could be gettable, and panthers if they rest players
 
I think the Storm are about to go on a run. Not as contenders, but I can see them making the 8. So that will add a wrinkle to our fortunes.

Yeah Storm, even Dogs are starting to play better. Saints also, though no hope of finals could still be nuisance value for teams aspiring to be in the top 8.

Sadly I think we’re done, the log jam for the 8 is too much, our F/A is shit and we just have too many injuries to cope. It would take a major miracle for us to make it and a real dip in form from some of the other teams near us on the ladder.

Would you agree that we need 32pts G, taking into consideration our F/A, that's 6 wins from 10 games, with the constant stream of injuries it's too hard and becoming a dream.
 
At this stage the dreaded "Mathematically Possible" is looming in the distance and becoming larger every week.I honestly feel we will fail yet again,undoubtedly our injuries will have played a major part in our demise BUT until we start getting a winning percentage from our home matches we will never succeed.
2027 will be an even more difficult year for us unless we rectify our home win percentage (not having the old girl to inflate our winning ratio will only make it worse).
Start winning at our home grounds and many of our problems will evaporate or become easier to manage.To be honest it would also help if all of our games had the reggies playing before first grade to develop club spirit but we all know the Ludites and Trogladites who run our club will not allow that.
As always i live in hope even if it is divorced from reality.
Sorry for the long rant.

The truth hurts, rant is honest and justified jad.

"but we all know the Ludites and Trogladites who run our club will not allow that"
On the damn money... Its a constant migraine that holds this club back from its true potential.

Injuries, roster depth and players giving up will cost us this season.

We can live in hope of some players coming back and a magical turn around but I don’t see it as we enter the hardest part of our draw to end the season.

Our thumpings have cost us big time on F&A which means we have to win an extra game.
