How do we flip the script?

[zac]

There is no flipping the script. The mountain is now insurmountable. Form slump at the worst possible time.

we'll have a better picture after friday but bit early to be pushing the eject button.

we can't be precious and think we've failed cos we've lost 2 games in a row. the easts boys of the 80s and early 90s would love to be still playing in the finals under these circumstances.

Sitilli looks busted and spent, I’d bring Pooasa in, we only need a good 15/20 mins max from a big bopper, his hit ups, second phase offloads and defence will be a huge advantage against the Raiders, butcher can tackle but his hit ups are ineffective

Ppl keep bagging Flanno for lacking a running game. Cronk rarely took the line on. It is not the problem.

We scored 28 points on the weekend. Enough points to win any game if our defence was like it has been for last 2.5yrs.

Fair dinkum, the negative nellies throwing in the towel here should fark off instead of sprouting their dribble on here. If you think we are stuffed and have no chance why don't you just piss off. Whats your point? Trying to make yourselves look smart if we lose? and then coming back and wanting to share the glory if we win. Bunch of wankers.

I don't think most of us have given up mate.

We just want Robbo to see our recommendations and take them on board if he knows whats good for him. Im waiting for a personal message from him the slacko.

Truly, I can't stomach a Raiders win over us so we need to find a way. Whinging entitled cryface sooks. Lets give em a nice present...a Mad Monday free of charge.

Hope our Pigs can match your agro on Friday night.

Love you work!

hit the nail on the head there mate, in my opinion.
Look at Liverpool getting walloped by Aston villa this morning, I know folks here hate soccer but forget that I'm talking about mentality , the champions just rocked up expecting another cruisey win. We're not that bad, but mentality does come into it, and i can barely mention the penrith game its still sickening , but i believe that's what got them over the line in 80.

I think light week too yes, intense analysis or meetings and putting that into practice on the SCG pitch training wise, rather than the usual routine. I dunno.

All I do know is Ricky the braniac will be thinking Flano for his game plan. Predictable.

I saw the Liverpool result and was like who, I follow city , we're not great this this year either, and yes my father is an actual citizen . not some fly by nighter. but roosters are my first love then nz cricket, then city, then the warriors probably .

mate, that's a damn good point, we scored 28, our attack hasn't stalled with flanno, we're scoring points it's our d that's a concern. but great observation none the less.

Yawn. Go Easts.

Totally agree with this.
It pisses me off no end when people have opinions especially when they are different to mine. Fark off the lot of you.

I am positive we can beat Canberra. The storm however will be much harder. What worked against the storm was rattling them early. Against parra in the first half they were making so many uncharacteristic errors because of the way parra approached the game. It was parra’s defence and discipline which ultimately let them down and allowed the storm to win.

I'm guessing I'm a negative nelly . I'll take no glory from a loss, but I'm not expecting 3 more w's this year.

Flanno is a speed bump but will start

[roostermcgregor]

Stop worrying about what needs to be done and leave it to Robbo - he and Fitzy have their plan.
If we get past the Raiders, which I expect will happen, anything is possible.
There is not one team in this competition which cannot be beaten. The Storm leaked four tries against a side which was badly out of form and had no attack. Bunnies were smashed by Dogs a couple of weeks back, Riff were ordinary against us ( and Robbo thought as much in the presser).
Sure, Storm will be tough, but we have beaten them in past when it counts, that's what the boys need to remember. They will be playing their second match in a month, so they could be clunky.
We are already written off by all the media ( and some of our own fans on this forum) , so there's nothing to lose - only upside.
This side is capable of anything and one things for certain, if we managed to get to the GF, we will not be beat.
If we don't win the competition, we have probably the most outstanding young footballer in the game, coming back from injury in 2021, with a host of outstanding young players, who are always improving.
Just enjoy the ride this year - whatever happens.
Go Easts !!!!

Cummins, Sutton, Klein. There is nothing that can be done because it’s all doom & gloom. There out to get us.
