The Run Home

[innsaneink]

Geez I dunno seems to be a helluva lot of confidence here all of a sudden

Forgetting us.

Parra, have been going real well lately, ran out of steam against a hot Panthers team (who we face) and couldnt cut it with an under the radar titans (again who we play) 50/50

Cowboys, been killing it but no JT??? possibly. we'll be long odds imo

Titans, playing very very well…us long odds again, at LO but thats been negligible layely

Penrith away....wont be easy,,,theyre finding form at the right end of the year...

NZ away...road trips ....we dont travel real well

Raiders LO...raiders eh? Going pretty good right now, top 4.

I can possibly see us not winning again. Its a real tough tough run home...dunno where the ease some people are seeing is

 

[Love_the_WestsTigers]

The simple equation for us and then only one that will mean anything is we need to keep winning

We lose we pretty much play ourselves out of the top 8

Then looking at all other teams on the ladder wont mean a thing if we lose.

I think the ideal situation this close to the finals is to win all if not most games to build moment
From what i have been seen all year we are no hope of that.. So i for one wont get excited just yet

I also think that we have to win all the games from now to be in it
Finishing level with any others is no good for us. Thanks to our big Against Points

I totally agree.

I don't think there is a winnable game and we are going to have to earn it.
We are playing many sides that will be desperate to assure there position in the 8 and we all happen to be playing each other.
There are injuries to other sides that we are about to play that will give us the confidence to win like the Eels 4-5 key players missing and by the sounds of it Thurston missing for the Cowboys the week after. I'm more nervous playing the Eels than the Cowboys.
As they say let's take it a week at a time.

If we manage to get in? The experience gained by our youngsters will be invaluable in years to come even if we are knocked out 1st game of the semi's.

I watched the last 20 mins of Dogs vs Dragons ..
Dragons scrambled so much in defence but i only saw Benji and Widdop once in the shot
Forwards and 2nd rowers really scrambled tackle after tackle and with lots of energy.

I think thats what we need to do with Brooks and Moses.

 

[Regan]

Next game if Brooks does not play we need Robbies kicking game and defence to beat the Cowboys

We do, but if he is injured he wont be able to play
If he is fit will Taylor pick him ? my gut-feel, NO

Now we just need Titans to lose on Monday for it to be a dead heat

4 teams on 22 points at the end of this round if that happens
We however the worst due to +-

So confusing with our for and against that we take soft options and kick for goal. Up by 8, go for a try. Parra were shot, we needed to score tries not go up by twos. I will take a win and very gutsy performance by the boys, i hope it doesnt come down to for and against, that would be shattering.

i seriously didnt know what to make of it, listening to the commentator too..

When Moses missed i wasnt impressed but i accepted whatever points a successful attempt brought.

The Raiders games ruined it for us otherwise it wouldnt be this bad.

I was hoping we'd improve the for and against Dragons but that was hard to do

Last week we are down 8-4, get a penaty and we kick to go to 8-6 are you serious. Today we are up 12-2, put the throttle down go for the kill. Even the commentators were puzzled, 3 times we went for goal when we had to go for a try and rack up a big score against a shot opponent. Such a good chance the last 2 weeks to significantly improve our for and against.

I think there are a lot of confused thinkers out there who arent able to work out the best scenario in the 20 seconds they get before the Refs ask "what you doing"

I personally would like them to take the tap or find touch and go for the 4 points instead of possible 2 unless off course we were to tie or lead the game by taking that kick.

I think they go to games too scripted with poor maths skills

I thought that Parra were out on their feet when Moses took those penalties, a quick tap spread to the right we could have had 6 points.

Not being negative but I see probably one more win in us and two at the most, but while we are still a chance we will go close to beating anyone, but we just lack something. I see the Titans game as a win and possible the Warriors or Penrith. Just can not see us beating the Cows or Canberra.

Although I think we have done a good job this season and with some luck could have been top four. All the Taylor bashing I just do not understand 😛ray:

While we have improved this year under JT my major problem with him is his team selections and lack of accountability when making team selections.

Manly showing how you improve your F/A against newcastle, we should have done this the last 2 weeks.
We lost to the knights in rd1 and nearly lost again in rd2, the knights only win was against us.
We have had some very poor weeks we had the chance to atone the F/A the last 2 weeks and failed, this will bite us later on.

They're going to be only one win behind us with a better f/a after this game.
What a finish its going to be to the season

It might be a bridge too far but they're playing good footy. They'll upset a few
