Race for the top 8

Apparently SST won’t play this week as well as Collins and E Butcher, will be a tough one against the Broncos!

I couldn't see how he would have recovered in 3 weeks - those injuries are 4 to 6 weeks or more depending on the severity of the fracture- he had several fractures

[King Salvo]

That table makes the Broncos season seem even more impressive.

Yes and the Titans dreadful as they had only 10 games against 2021 top 8 sides

Thank you. Someone has finally prevailed with common sense.

For those who are having a crack at LM for not doing the hard yards are the same people who argued back this exact same point when others questioned his work ethic when he was here.

LM will never be that type of player, In fact he openly talks about it - he is not a small agile nippy sort of player like Ted, KP, Walsh etc. Latrell is a powerhouse who reserves himself for the bigger moments in attack. You give him the ball in the oppositions half 9/10 times he will create you points.

Centre is his best position IMO but the slack he is copping on here for that reason is ridiculous.

You saved me from typing it.
Thank you.

Gives May some more game time and we likely see Baker back, or Atoni have a crack.

If we get a win over Bronx, the top teams look vulnerable atm it could be a good time to find that next gear for us!

Unlikely to see Atoni.

Wishful thinking on my part, just wanted to see the big fella have a run!

[Bruce 38-0]

Big one this week for the swing especially if we win and Faiders loose. We move ahead and Faiders stay on current points.

Damn it, our forward stocks are copping a big hit also when you throw in Toupanoua's ACL. Any more forwards go down & we are stuffed.

The Lodge signing was badly needed & lucky it popped up when it did. I think he's been very good in his short time here.

Lodge has been a beast since putting on the RWB, you can just see him warming to the the task..

If we can get JWH,Collins,SST and Lodge all fit and firing heading into the finals then look out!

The suspension of Cleary and the injury to Luau, certainly hasn't helped our chances to make the 8. Now Souths and the Raiders have a much better chance of winning their games against Penrith, which would have probably been losses if Cleary and Luau were playing. Since both Souths and Canberra are competing with us for a spot in the 8 this hurts us.
Also the injury to Moses from Parra gives Souths a bbetter chance for a win, and also helps the Broncos.
So Souths get an improved chance of winning 2 games I reckon they would have lost. Brisbane and Canberra get one.
Makes our task harder, plus the injuries to Collins and TKO....... so many variables beyond our control.
I guess we just have to keep winning.
I reckon we will beat the Drongos this week at the SCG
Then we have the Cows at the SCG,
Then the Tigers at the SCG
Those 3 games at home should help us.
then Melbourne in Melbourne
and Souths at the new stadium.
I reckon we can win them all, but we certainly aren't getting it easy.

Who cares about the other teams you have mentioned if the Roosters beat the Broncos then they live for another week. The Roosters destiny is in their hands, if they continue to win then the Roosters will be in the 8.

[Pablo Escobar]

Should win next 3

no excuses

You are a deadset goose. Souths and canberra are our main rivals for a finals spot, their draws just got easier because of what happened with Cleary, Luau and Moses. That ,makes it harder for us, but as I said... I think we can win them all.... pull your head in goose, or try to read the whole post before your mouth gets ahead of your brain.

Win all our remaining games and we are in thanks to our superior points diff. Lose one then rads can show smithy around the eastern suburbs on mad Monday, what could possibly go wrong? if it does turn out this way it will be a complete waste of a season and the great experiment has turned out to be a great failure imo. Keary should have been playing 5/8 from game one a few of us on here said it months ago, look how well were going now backline is sharp were winning games with keary playing in his proper position.
