Another reason the loss to Canberra hurts

[Fairfax]

Because we would have leapfrogged the Vermin into third place!

If GI joe gets injured then souffs are well and truly farked. Last year was a rare season where he played consistently well for the whole season without injury of form troubles. Post origin this year may be had for him.

I agree it's this afternoon that the Canberra loss continues to hurt.
Lets hope we aren't talking about it in four months.

Patience guys, the canberra loss was a great leveller, the boys needed that, it will be a marker when ever they get too much ahead of themselves.

we will leapfrog them don't worry about that.

Corretamundo!
I think they believed their own hype and that Canberra being a weak side, all they had to do was turn up for the points. I hope TR shows them the video of that 2nd half to them before every game.

Yes it was a bad loss especially considering we had such a good lead. Take nothing away from Canberra though, they aren't a bad side particularly at home.

The most pleasing aspect for mine was the Roosters responded with an emphatic win. Admittedly the Bulldogs aren't going that well and have/had some injuries but regardless, 38 - 0 against last years runners up is still a good effort.

An interesting 5 games coming up. Penrith is one I would pencil in but Dragons, Manly, NQ and Storm, I'll be happy with two, preferably three wins out of that lot.
