Will the Wests Tigers make the 2018 finals?

Wait a second Cleary wants Farah locked in for Penrith…???

Sharp Geo… Sharp

Unfortunately the Broncos win may have been the nail in the coffin regardless of the Dragons game

When both teams were running onto the field last night the Broncos looked much bigger and stronger on average and thought that the Bunny smallies would have a hard time controlling them.

Didn't the bunnies look disinterested for most of that game last night? Apart from 15 mins in the second half, their attack was woeful and in D they were spectators. How does that happen? Makes you wonder if they are just physically and mentally tired from the couple of big games prior. I wonder what the stats on Walker were - he didn't want to run at all.

To me, they looked like a team that didn't want to win.

No one in the top 8 wants to play the mighty :sign:
Roosters will try to throw the game next week too, only to be foiled by the broncos getting food poisoning from Unca Wayne's first attempt at throwing a BBQ.
On a serious note was anyone else disappointed in the refs yesterday, they only scored once or twice?!

Scored twice, allowed Sims to stay on after a professional foul. So they did well - consistent if nothing else.

I guess I've come to expect more.

:smiley: we all have but, with the refs it's an up hill battle.

Unless one team is significantly dominant, most outcomes are impacted by a refs call. Refs should be ruling by the rules. None of this interpretation or let the game flow business.

Yes it will be a wistleathon for a while but teams will adjust. Maybe I'm wrong but to me discretion is subjective and rules are objective. Can't have subjectivity in a game that is a measure of physical and mental ability.

They started and I don't believe they saw it through, will make it even harder next time as players and coaches will know thy aren't serious.

the nz loss gives us a slim hope

 

[Newtown]

The only chance is if either or both Warriors and Broncos lose their final two matches we win ours by good margins.

 

[hugh1954]

No chance all we can do now is hope for top recruits in our poor areas ie centre, wing, 2nd row

 

[diedpretty]

All we had to do was win yesterday in a must win game and we are one game behind 3 teams . Honestly this team just can't handle pressure - we win the pressure is on Saints, Broncos and Warriors - what do we do - fold - no heart in this team.

Cleary still thinks we can make it. :crazy God knows how! We can only draw even with either Brisbane or New Zealand and the F/A of both of them is far superior to ours. We'd have to rack up big scores over Manly and Souths to have any hope and we haven't racked up a big score all year! Our attack is deplorable. No, it's definitely over Ivan.

Nice thought but really …... We just don’t have the cattle this year.
And we don’t deserve to be there either.
