      Yes or no answer
      Do you think we will win 8 games in a row & win the comp?
      Yes - why not?

        I think he will. I believe Dad Flanagan has said that Kyle was signed as a utility.
        EASTS TO WIN!

          Short Summary is he called out Flanno for his coaching in 2016 saying he didn't learn a thing and he basically left it to the senior players to coach the team.

            Exactly. Tigers showed that out muscling their forwards helps a heap.

            We need to play the hard arse game against the pups like we did against the Dolphins. Think our forwards can out muscle them but Crighton, Kiraz and Burton could trouble us. Not worried about Galvin cause he can have errors in him if pressured.

              Kiraz at fullback interesting.

              Hugo should test him.

                  Big game for us obviously 1st we need the win but with Sharks weakened by the loss of Nikora and Ramien and also the Broncs Reynolds Mamm and Cobbo all gone for the rest of the regular season it helps us get the other results we need to sneak into the 8 as long as we can keep winning 3/4 I think we will make it.

                  Also with Broncs v Phinns we are guaranteed of one of those above us losing which is very fortunate.

                    Hard to know which result suits us in the long run.

                    Dolphins win and we have two teams that we can overtake but might need to win all four games.
                    Broncos win and we can probably afford one loss.
                    Both teams have all winnable games after that with Storm and Raiders likely to rest a few in the last round.

                      True but one out of the two definitely losing is better than both having a win.

                        • too many variables to know what's best but if the broncs beat the dolphins we are guaranteed of making the semis if we win 4 from 4 but if the dolphins win their next 4 we could miss out even if we win all four too. unlikely but mathematically possible. if we win all 4 we'll probably make the semis and we're a chance if we win 3 from 4

                            Are you going to go & put $1000 on it?
                            you'll get back around $26000 if you believe we can do it.

                              • Sitting here in hospital thinking what a great season this has turned out. From our first game loss against the Broncs, to the massive improvement of the squad over 23 weeks to be so competitive in what everyone thought was a rebuild year has made the season one to remember. If we could jag a semi final spot making the next 4 weeks 'live' will make the seasons success complete enough....but hope for more...
