just did the preddictor and we pretty much need to win 6 out of our last 9 or we will miss the finals . I know people will say 28 points gets you there but this year seems to be more points , try it for yourselves and let me know what you ended up with . We play Bulldogs x2, Melbourne at Leichardt, Cowboys away, we have some very tough footy coming up . We might even miss out altogether. I think loosing to Roosters and the Knights recently is gonna come back and bite us . Fasten those seatbelts could be a very bumby ride.

Can't worry about the past, can't change it so it's now irrelevant. Focus on what you can have an effect on. We only need to to make the 8 in an injury free state, and the rest will take care of its self. I reckon we can beat any team in this comp with a healthy squad

I am really worried about where we are in the table at this moment and the games we have coming up, because I think we have some basic problems.
1\. We lack pace in the forwards and the backs compared with other teams.
2\. The lack of pace counts against us in defence, because we don't have the ability to scramble well in defence, which saved us in past years.
3\. Our forward defence lacks punch, so we cannot build pressure by keeping the opposition pinned in their half.
4\. Our attack is often poor.
We should have won the last two games and this would have stood us in good stead with the hard run home we have. With the new finals system, it would appear it will be harder to win from finishing in 5th to 8th positions.

I've got different worries, mighty maggy. For one I'm worried how the politicians in Australia will survive in this new overnight economy called the carbon tax with their $100,000 pay rise every year. They've got it tough and my heart goes out to them. I don't worry about Wests Tigers or football anymore I just try to enjoy. Sometimes I feel as though I was a bulldog supporter,Melbourne, Brisbane or manly supporter where the coaches have the ability to keep their supporters happy mostly every weekend. But I have to accept my destiny because of my black, white & gold blood. Nothing can ever change that.

The problem is we had genuine reasons to have slumps during '10 snd '11… Huge injury tolls. This season is different, players just look flat and poor offseason purchases.

We definately made it hard for ourselves getting smashed by two bottom 8 sides .
leading 14 zip and having 38 unanswered points put on you dosent add up to a side who will give this premiership a shake.
Will we beat the dogs this week ? I suppose it depends on which Wests sides turns up.

@foreveratiger said:
The predictor has a strong bias towards higher points, simply cause when we do them, we assume the top team will win, in reality the likes of Penrith, Parra, Titans and the raiders will win a couple against the sides in and around the 8\. That is why we all tip at 4-6 a week
If we get 28 points we will be in the 8.
