The run home to finals '26

[Tiger-ferret]

still have the next few rounds
if we lose to
dragons
dogs
Canberra
Parramatta
dragons
then we are done

if we win all those games we hit 30 with the bye

we then need to win one of
cowboys
roosters
Penrith
to get to 32

When was the last time we won 3 in a row?

I believe we cracked that this season

I like your enthusiasm here, but just cant see it happening after such a wet lettuce performance yesterday. Injuries aside, whats missing is the ability to create pressure at the right times and grind out these games for the W.

1st time in 8 years. Do you reckon we can do it again 🤣

We'd need 6 from 9 to have any chance.

It's not like we don't have the draw to get it done, but i doubt we get through 9 games without injuries. It's been a horrid season.

Newcastle, Brisbane and Souths games are what killed this season. Win those and it's a different equation. If we make it from here it will be a miracle.

we should get twal and sam f back and AD should be better for the run
Api can't have a poorer game than he did yesterday

Twal and Sam will be massive ins.

Really need to lock up our defence on Makasinis side - I would hope he doesn't start next week.

Api looked TIRED, so did TDM. So much to unlike about that game, it was UGLY... Those guys coming back definitely help us, but is it too late... Losses V Brisbane and Souths, how handy would those Ws be now. June 30 - wonder if HQ might make a move or two.

Agreed, Maka needs more time. Too much of a liability at this point and looked like a deer in the scope yesterday. Confidence shot? Also wonder if Turuva plays next week after the "head knock"

They said he passed his HIA, so all good with Turuva.

Junior Tupou should be filling Makasinis gap.

We also have Tavana.

Tupou, To'a become the centres.
Turuva, Skelton + Tavana.

Can't really afford any injuries in the centres from now though.
