There's also that game in 2016 when cappy sacked an entire first grade team and somehow we beat the dragons who were going well at the time. We've had many memorable wins. I just think this thread should be postponed till the end of the season. The 2024 highlight reel hasn't been finished yet.
so by the end of this round we will only be 1 pt outside the 8 and 3 pts outside the 4. If we perform like we should during this origin period, Top 4 + Top 8 are both back on like donkey kong.
For me, the nrl ladder means nothing until after origin III ends (round 18-19ish I think). There's just too much fluidity and disruption caused by injuries and origin to make predictions before then. If our A players come back determined to build on what our depth have achived over the last 2...
If Dolphins slip up, we are 1 pt outside the 8 and 3 pts outside 4 by the end of this week. Anything remains possible, even another top 4 finish, if we get our shit together during the coming origin period.
Truth is nothing is off the table for us. If we go on a sustained run during origin, we will set ourselves up for a potential run at the top 4 like we did last year. Conversely if we go off the boil again and lose the next couple of games, we'll be battling souths and wests for the spoon. Of...
I don't see the win as that much of an upset tbh. Despite many outs, we still fielded the stronger forward pack yesterday. If we controlled position, as we did after the first 20 mins, we were always in with a shot of winning. I also don't think the phins are as good as their ladder position...
I reserve the right to change this next week. Also going on RTS being out till round 17 according to nrl.com. This is the team I think webby will go for, not necessarily the one I want:
1. Taine
2. DWZ
3. CNK
4. Pompey
5. Montoya
6. TMM
7. SJ
8. AFB
9. Egan
10. Barney
11. Capewell
12. Ford
13...
The last two weeks shows webby's versatility as a coach. He's been criticised alot the last few weeks for the gameplan and bench selection when the results weren't forthcoming. He has clearly taken the criticism on board and addressed the shortcomings. The last two games we've seen so much added...
Feel like people are overreacting a bit. Taine is another big loss no doubt, but I still think we can win this. The pack on paper is our relative strength in this game. I don't rate the Phins pack- they are experienced but clearly lack the size of the top sides. So long as we do a good job at...
