Two things can be true at the same time.
We have a history as a club of not winning the so called "banana skin" games.
But we also need to recognize that we have turned the corner as a club. Under Webby, we are winning the banana skins this year: other than the Penrith game, we've won all the games that the tab had us favorites for. Even in Australia, we've won 6 of 8 games this year, at tough parochial grounds like Wollongong, Shark Park, Campbelltown that we've traditionally struggled at.
PTSD is difficult to overcome. But based on evidence during the Webby era, this game is a game we should and I believe we will win well. I'm certainly not expecting anything like 50-12 like others are suggesting. It'll probably be like the tigers game where it is 12-4 or 16-8 at half time before we wear them down towards the end to finish something like 32-16.
But for all practical purposes, a 2pt win vs 20 pt win is irrelevant. We just need to come away with the pts and keep the buffer on the broncos and keep track with Melbourne and Dogs.
