Well, we'll see.
I don't think a loss here is an indicator to end the season.
I would imagine it would just mean that we would be leaning more towards Metcalf in the 7 role for finals.

I never understood what defined Benjiball either. Why hasn't anyone called our success 'Webby ball'?
Depends how big the loss is. We don't want to be smoked. But even if we win, it will be discounted as an origin impacted victory. Aussie media are already disseminating the line that this game doesn't really matter for the panthers.
Some people have called it Webby ball.
I assume it's just colloquial for describing a system.
Yeah, I see they're leaning into the origin impacted. Honestly, it's just media spin.
Yeah, a small loss is acceptable. A big loss will mean reevaluating some factors.
I was more interested as to what Foz has actually done to get the players going, aka Fozball.
I'm not saying he's coasting or whatever.
Like, what would any new coach do that instantly turns around a clubs season? Surely the potential was always there and this is more about Seibold losing the locker room, right?
I think it is 12 minus either way. The sides are too evenly matched. Top 2 sides in both attack and defense. We actually lead the possession, set completion stats with penrith in 3rd place for both.
It is like two identical twins preparing to fight each other for the nth time. At some pt the younger twin (us) will beat the abusive older one (penrith) who has been the bully for far too long.
Don't know why but I think we can win. Imo we have the stronger forward pack on form. If Fish > Moses and Erin> Yeo, we should have enough pts in us out wide to scrape home.
Maybe he is just the hype man. I get the feeling that his assistants are the ones with the tactical nouse. Foran is just enabling them to do what they think is right whereas Seibold was overruling them and forcing them to enact his failed plans.
The players is the first thing you look at in these revivals and we see it time and again. Occam and his ubiquitous bloody Razor.
That said, losing the dressing room could be a communication issue, a personality issue, and or a wilful continuance of a plan that the group don't believe in - a change in the lead communicator and a tweak of the plan can reveal instant success.
One of the things that grated my gears in Warriors games over the years was the constant rumour mongering about the Coach having lost the dressing room, and when the team won games, some would claim the players changed the game plan in the tunnel.
My first thought is that in such cases (using Foran's lads as an example) that someone like Foran would be smartest to set about weeding those types out as fast as is possible.
Don't care about the dogs game. But hopefully one of parra/storm can do us a solid tonight.
Geez Kerry is a sight for sore ears. Haven't really been watching much footy except us.
He can actually string a sentence together compared to Cronk-bot.

Be nice if the scores stay low like this.
Pretty even contest, the Eels thankfully look up for this.
Come on Para, win the Dylan Brown cup.

Eels when they play their structure look deadly with Walker volkman and Kelly they can score its just the basics letting them down.
Knights are just continually forcing things. Hold the ball and they'll blow the Eels away in thr second half.
Also need to set the mower a bit lower

I sometimes wonder what we would look like if Walker had of played the season out.
Pity he isn't an eighty minute player anymore. Thrilled for Ronnie boy this season eh.
