Message: [QUOTE="Locky’s Left Boot, post: 3058386, member: 9358"] I have felt all along that the 2 games we pretty much threw away against the Dragons and Tigers at home in the first month of the season would be very costly. The good thing though is fate is in our own hands and if we are good enough and fire at the right end of the season we will get in. Despite everything that has occurred this season, one thing that hasn’t helped our cause is our fucking ridiculous draw. We by far had the hardest opening 3 months of the season where we played the Storm in Melbourne, Roosters twice, Souths and Raiders away who are all the current top 4 and will be the top 4 at season end. Then during Origin we faced a lot of teams with either zero or one Origin representatives (Titans, Eels, Cronulla, Warriors) And even though we ended up beating Cronulla, we had 5 Origin players out to their 1 which we were always going to be bloody hard to get the 2 points which we somehow miraculously pulled off. Then when we finally seem to get to the easier run, we seem to play teams when they are in form. Knights were during their purple patch when we played them down there, Bulldogs were on a 2 game winning streak, we have Panthers coming up in the next couple of weeks who just came off a 7 game winning run. Eels are on a decent run again. Storm are coming off a loss coincidentally the week before we play them. Cowboys have looked marginally better now that they have Drinkwater at the back and now Morgan is back just in time to play us next week. If we make the 8 despite everything that has happened at the club if you include our draw PLUS the injury crisis during various crucial stages of our season (Bird, Gillett, all our Halves, Glenn, Macca, Ofahengaue, etc) PLUS players leaving mid season (Roberts, Sua and Nikorima) PLUS players leaving pre season (McGuire and Kahu) PLUS our disciplinary record (TPJ x 2, Lodge, Haas, Flegler and Segeyaro all been suspended either by club or MRC) It will be our best and most satisfying season we’ve had since 2015 IMO.
