This is perfect. Exactly how I feel.Losing is not an option this week. For our season to be a success in the post season, we need to have won at least one finals game. We MUST win this game - no excuses.
If we get the job done, we earn the right to be 80 minutes away from a grand final and legitimately call ourselves a top 4 team.
If Melbourne beat the Chooks, then Penrith will beat them in the prelim. The Broncos CAN be beaten in a one off match. Winning this week (and winning well) gives us the confidence we need to take them on.
Beat the Broncos? Then a shot at redemption against the 'Up the Pahs' mob - third time is a charm, right?
Anyway. 1st job. We simply CANNOT lose at home. Start there. Let's knock out the Knights who have done well to make it this far. Time to extinguish their flame.
Sure, we should be proud of the boys making the Top 4 this year, after being written off before the season began.
But there’s a difference between making the Top 4, and being a Top 4 side.
This can’t just be a feel-good moment. This “Up the Wahs” movement can’t just be a faze.
This has to be something that is built upon long term.
We need to prove Top 4 this season wasn’t an anomaly. We need to prove we belong.
Like you said, we cannot lose at home.
