No just think top 4 will be nigh impossible as cclubs will be 3 wins ahead of us and we have a very hard run next 7 weeks .
knights at leich = should win - we're better than newcastle
warriors in nz = will be tough
storm at leich = should win on a sunday arvo at leich
dogs at campb = should win at campb, dogs arent as good as ppl think
bye
parra at parra = should win, parra r a mess
cowboys at dfs = will be tough
i dont think the next 7 weeks is that tough
warriors in nz = will be tough

Yeah we should of beaten Souths , we should of beaten Bulldogs It depends whether Jeckyl or Hyde shows up Steve O . I think we will win this week . we seem to have it over the Knights the last few years , much like Raiders . Point I was trying to make with all of this Top 8 (8th)isn't likely to win the premiership in my eyes No one has done it yet anyway . Our bare minimum acceptance should be top 6

yeah since the nrl started in '98 no one has won out of the top 4 so realistically if we want to win the comp we've gotta be up there. but the last 2 yrs 6th and 8th have both made it to the gf so as long as we make it into the finals i think we can do some damage

2005 2011, 2005 people picked us for the spoon, 2011 we are picked to win the comp by many people. do you see the difference?? we have a home game against the knights who are average, if we can't win this game we might as well forget about winning this thing, we already could not beat souths or the roosters
I remmeber this time in 05 all we wanted to do was make the bloody 8 for once, and that was it! none of is expected us to win the comp at all.

When we lost Ellis, Tuqiri and Lawrence, i said all we need to do is hang in there and win 50% of our games. When we win on Monday we will be on track to do this. If we can sneak it above 50% by the time Lawrence comes back then its game on. Season is nowhere near over, its round twelve and we've had so many things go wrong and we are hanging in there. We may even end up a better side for it.
I understand some peoples views about "do or die", and i dont disagree, but at the same time, it really is only do or die if a loss means mathamatically we cant make it. As long as we can still make it every single one of us will be tuning in each week hoping for the best.

I said the same thing, if we were in the 8, or had a record close to 50/50 when we started getting our full squad back, we'd be in a good position to make a charge for a finals spot. Well we're in the 8 and have a 5-6 record, win tomorrow it's 6-6, half the required wins to make the finals it would seem. If we have a decent run with injuries for the second half of the season, we'll be a better side than we were through the first half, and the origin period is going to be a strong period for us (and a few other clubs who have minimal representation-Manly, Warriors). We string a few wins together over the next few weeks, we're right back in top 4 calculations, but it has to start with Newcastle on Monday.

Correct KS!!!
Those who get their rocks off by death-riding, embracing conspiracies & apocalyptic predictions clearly know very little about the game!!!!

No i dont think we are out of form because of our injuries. I believe we could have done much better than what we have. But because we are a mentally weak side, its likely that a return of some players will give us the mental boost we need. Its a sad reflection of out mental toughness, but in reality, this is just how we are.

Ask yourself whats more relevant…..round one (3 months ago) or last week?
It will be good to sort out player's futures as well.
The speculation about the playing futures of the popular Gibbs, Fulton and Moltzen must be having some impact on moral in the club.
I think we can make the 8 but need to turn our season around starting with Newcastle.
Best side on paper to take on Newcastle.

Iagree with everett that the speculation of gibbs,fulton, & moltzen, as to where they will be playing next year is having a big effect on the way our team is going.
I wouldn't say it's do or die yet.. but if they don't pull their finger out the season will slip away very quickly.
A return from injury from players will give us a mini mid season boost that we need but most importantly A serious attitude adjustment is needed from some of the players.
The Question is what is happening to help get these players focused on the task at hand?
in years gone by sheens hasn't had any qualms with rushing the team off into a camp, maybe it's not in the budget this year..

We were 12th going into round 15, but only 2 points outside the 8.
2005 was more congested than this season. The top have skipped away by 3 wins to 8th position when the gap is usually more like 2 wins. Not to say it won't even up by season's end, but Dragons, Brisbane, Cowgirls and Manly have really set a pace.
