It may not literally be a win or lose situation for us on Friday but mentally for the players it is.... You dont want to be going into the finals against Manly/Melb on the back of 3 consective losses.
There is no point in saying its not do or die now we dont need to panic. Its not about panic, its about getting on the front foot and addressing the issues to ensure they dont happen again. If we lose on Friday but we go back to being the team we made ourselves up until 2 rounds ago, then thats good enough.
We dont have to win, its just about seeing that they are back to doing the basics and the attitude to play for each other is back.
It doesnt help that we have Klein, Cecchin and Clarke as refs. That just made our job even harder. But like we did earlier in the season we need to just accept the fact the refs give dumb decisions and back it up with a good defensive set. If we bring this attitude that we have had for the last 2 rounds and just whinge every time we get penalty, guaranteed we will get knocked in straight sets in the finals.
And then everyone will start panicking.
