Surely we can't win 14 games in a row

[Jacks Fur Coat]

I'm pretty sure this is the first and I'm damn sure this is the last time I quote you, but you are a farking retard. A lifeless, lonely, self loathing, pathetic idiot. Piss off.

Chook.

being as 'perfect' as you are, Chook, I still dragged you down to my 'lifeless, lonely, self loathing, pathetic' level.
how does it feel?

This one ...should go straight to the sig block.

Kegs?

im on it.

if anything, I think he posted it simply because he wanted to feature in my sig...

I want this team to win every single game played all the way through to the Grand Final ans Grand Final to be undisputed best of the best - Champions.

We haven't beaten Souths or Melbourne this season and we will have to beat both to take this thing out.

Losing is NOT an option.

Mate!....his last tough match was r20 against the Knaughts. First week semi will be close to state of origin intensity. 1 game in nearly 6 weeks and that one against Tigpies is hardly an ideal preparation. I don't care how hard he goes on the training paddock... he needs a tough games to be back at his best imo.

Mate..Robbo will make sure the rest of the pack is fit and battle hardened.. LOD used wisely in week 1 of finals will be of great benefit and ready for the next. Get a frankfurt intaya Mate.

The 1975 team done it, while this side is a good one, they would be spanked by the 75 team, I don't think we can win every game, from here on in, the last 3 games, have been abit dusty, a loss will do more harm then good along the way, but in saying that obviously, like you all, I am hoping they can do it, but too many soft tries are being scored against us, at the moment. I don't mind well constructed, and well played tries being scored against us, that's what the game is all about, but if you get a video of our last 3 games, and watch the ease of which the tries have happened, you will see what I mean.

[melon....]

You mean if we lose teh next game or two we cant win teh GF? Nah...it doesnt make sense. It would be nice to go through undefeated and looking at who we have to play...its highly possible if injuries dont stop us. Oh and the refs....

No they didnt!
Our 1975 team lost the major semi final to St George.

Yep. Correct.

To compare a team from that era to modern day athletes is unrealistic.
Today's players are paid professionals & as such would be much fitter compared to players of old.
Most players from that era were part time players (from memory Kerry Boustead started the ball rolling with the full time player business - around $20,000 pa??)
The game now has very extensive attacking & defensive strategies.

If it were possible to bring the Easts team of '75 into this year I think it would be embarrassing, tbo.

[Burnt Rooster]

That's right, so they did, was a shock loss, as I recall, but close enough, my comment doesn't alter. Also you cant compare others for different era's, but if the 75 team was around now as say Manly, they would, easily account for the 2013 side, and that's not a criticism of the current side, but they are no where near the side the 75 side was.

biggest win streak 19 matches in 1975.
tough task but we are more then capable , our run in to souths rnd 26 might be our biggest test so far this season

[Guest]

Win this week, then think about next week...
Should we lose this week, plan to get back on track next week...
As for needing to win 14 straight, we only have to win our last 3...

Take it one game at a time then prepare for the next...
Been working quite well so far this year...
