Just who has another gear???

Will your thoughts change after this weekends results?
You seem to base your opinion on the games played on the weekend.

My thoughts may change after this weekend....
That is normal is isnt it?????
Though I think you may be inferring that i have changed my mind on who will win the competition.

If you actually read what I have written, I tipped Brisbane or the Dogs to win the comp at the start of the season.
So that part has not changed..........yet.

It may,

and i know this is rather frightening for you.
That is why you may need to get laid sometime.

100% correct!!

WITH SKD all the WOTIF's go out the window

Without SKD. bye bye Premiership

...can SKD defy the anti depressants get of out bed & fight for us??

I hope that no SKD doesn't mean no premiership as you suggest...and even though I would rather he was in I think we can still overcome this.

I also hope this post doesn't suffer the same fate as my last three...and get expunged.

I'm a bad egg.

I get your drift JFC

as a disclaimer it was a selfish demand from me & a snide remark to boot.....

surely our moderators know we love this guy & underscores how much we miss him

[player 1]

We won in 75 after suffering the massive loss of Mark Harris and Russell Fairfax during the season, both to broken legs.

Now we have lost our best player for 2015 with a broken spirit. As a result of the vengeful actions of a spurned, venomous pit viper.

[Kingbilly]

I worry about the loss that SKD is on the field. But call me pathetic but I would choose SKD getting better over a premiership.

This +1.

If Pearce can find his form of late last year, we'll win this...

Maloney is in great form (kicking is off a little) & I hope we can send him off with another premiership...

Elliot hasn't really put a foot wrong in defence or attack...
I think he was rested last week rather than have him confront Radradra...

Sheck has made 4 errors in the last 2 weeks & they may be his last for the year...

Aubbs has looked a little lost the last 2 weeks but played out of position last week...
Normally reliable as...

Jaryd is in a great head space at the moment & a real strike weapon...
As are all of our forwards & bench if they can keep their tempers in check...
Kane, Napa & co are killing them...
No rest for the opposition when we interchange players...

Toops has re-found his confidence & is playing out of his skin at the moment...

Friendy has been a little quiet but knows how to play what's in front of him...
Has a great football brain & will not let anyone down...

Intensity has been waning lately but we're still finding ways to win...

Boys always lift when it's on the line...

We're in a good spot to win this...

[trewhella]

Cookies your insight appears spot on.
Perhaps it's the scars of making three and winning one not so long ago that has made me slightly pessimistic regarding our chances.
I feel in 2014 when we won Sonny Bill was a huge contributing factor. Much like Sam Burgess last year.
I know there has been emerging talent in the current squad but when it counts I fear they won't have the contribution of Sonny when it matters most.
I hope i am wrong.

From my casual observation they looked sober in 2014 and looked half pissed most of the time last year.
If they off the grog I would give them more of a chance

Good post Cookies.

I'm a fan of Pearcey however i'm a little worried though.

He was one of a few players that wasn't effected by fatigue late last season and was in career best form.

Mitch is well known for not taking too much time off during the off-season and has often started sprint training and hit he gym just weeks after a season ends.

He looks very flat to me! I hope it's just a temporary thing and not the result of overtraining.

My regards to cream.

Win it for Skiddsy I say.

This strikes me as contradictary (or however the hell you spell it)
Robinson can't be selecting along these lines, surely?
Either a player is up to first grade or he ain't.

I don't think Elliott could have done any worse, in hindsight.

You'd hope not.
I just can't get my head around Robbo saying to Elliot, "Good effort these past few games son, but Parra have a big scarey winger so perhaps you should hide in Wyong till the men deal with him".

[2026]

I don't think Elliot deserved to be dropped.

Do you think it may effect his confidence knowing that he couldn't be trusted to mark the Semi Trailer?

[JAF]

Pure speculation - Robbo was just experimenting because he was confident that we would get the 2 points. As we know, this nearly backfired!
At least we now know NOT to use the Fergo/Maubs combo in the future!!!
