Next 7 Matches

[Guest]

And if we lose all 7, what then?

Sack the coach?
Sack the players?
Self immolate?

Robbo has been hired for 3 years, in that context the next 7 weeks are irrelevant.

Chook.

exactly. commitment along with the ability to genuinely compete with all teams in the second half of the season is absolutely a pass mark for this year.

I think the Drongos and the Bros will be easy pickings.

Im more worried about Panthers/Dogs/Eels. Their rosters are average but they all have fantastic coaches who will fire them up.

I thought we would definitely beat parra but after last night I reckon we will have to be really firing to get them. The bullcheats had great defence to win last night. We need to smash the cuzzy bros this weekend to some confidence.

I don't we can afford to just win 3 out of 7, we need to win the majority of these games as they are home games as well for most of them.

Don't want to drop anymore games and would like to walk out of our home game in a good mood as most of us haen't been able to for the past two years.

Good point about the home games.

If we are to be a serious challenger we need to get very precious about our home record...and make teams play exceptional to beat us.

Are you serious? ... I thought after the eels attack for the last 60mins was boring, a 2 man team could've defended against them.

Reminded me of us 2012.

Well RC, historically Brisbane has been packed with Origin Stars to the brim and had the luxury of being coached by Smiley.

Now, they have some decent young talents but no superstars apart from Hodges who falls apart most seasons. Apart from him I fail to see where their points will come from.

Their biggest weakness however is their halves. Wallace is pretty average and Prince is over the hill barring one or two moments. I know you rag on Pearce but at least the bloke can lay on a try. The only time Brisbane has looked likely this season is when they go to Hodges and Gillet on that fringe.

The era of the all powerful Brisbane is fading. The best example of this is being open to Dugan. The old Broncos would of never bothered because they had plenty of stock. However, now they are forced to look for band-aid solutions. Look no further than Prince for that.

good point

I reckon Dugan will kill it if he goes there though

[Guest]

Genuinely think we can be 6W and 2L after 8 rounds.

Most likely is 4W and 4L imo.

Mate I really can't see how Dugan will fit in anywhere, not with his current attitude. He needs to have some time away, a la the Carney Atherton Roosters experience. He needs to learn some humility & come back ready to be part of a team, he almost needs to experience rock bottom to make himself realise what is at stake or he will end up like so many wasted talents we've seen in the past.

maybe so, but a new environment and a new start might make the difference. I reckon if he has the choice of Penrith, St George or the Broncos, he'd be mad not to choose the Broncos

i think we will beat the drongos. as they have wallace and we dont and like last nights game they tried to hard in the first half and had nothing left for the second half.

If we can beat the Broncos by 1 point I'll be happy.

The thing is if we don't bring our A game we may not win one of those matches. If we play like we did against souffs we certainly won't be winning anytime soon.
