Will we make the 8?

[Tommy Smith]

I'm not confident.

I've predicted losses the past two weeks. We have no attacking confidence and little desire.

With 3 games during Origin without key players and a tougher comp I think we'll struggle.

top 8 not top 4?

The Roosters, Rabbitohs, Sea Eagles and Bulldogs will all make the eight, and i wouldnt be surprised if they made the top 4.

Over the next 5 weeks we have the Eels, Sharks, Dragons, Tigers and Cowboys. All of whom are bottom eight teams.

We will come good. I would rathe lose games now than at the end of the season.

I think with maloney and jwh being terrible, and most of the team below par, i cant see us as a top 4 side, but if we cant make the 8 with this team something is going on....

[Tommy Smith]

The Eels will be very tough next week.

We've been arguably one of the two worst teams in the comp over the last 3 weeks.

Utter shite where as Parra are playing great at home.

I think we'll head into Origin under .500 which will make it very tough.

7th-10th I reckon.

Bit early for for this mate Deep breath.

Everyone has been below par this year, but those two have been disgraceful and lacking in desire.

of course we will !!! geez amazing how some people have such little faith and quick to stick the knife in. Then again where are we again ????

[Roostarz]

Of course we will. How many times did Robinson say we won't be firing until mid-way through the year and the aim was to get us firing at the right time. We have too good a team not to make the top 8 and we are hardly losing to the bottom teams! (although technically Souffs are down there)

[witty92]

Our defence is too good for bottom eight, our attack isn't good enough for top 4 (right now).

[Tommy Smith]

We've scored a combined 14 points in 3 games vs Souffs, Manly and the Dogs. And one of those tries was virtually an intercept vs Souffs.

Utter, utter dogshit.

You can't win the comp outside the top 4 and that's a pipe dream given our form.

[Spanner in the works]

Not that confident. Many bring up the penalties but I think we can rule them out as an issue - last year we were ranked near the bottom, but the difference was we had players in great form all year. Our defence was unbelievable too - when they talk great defensive sides, the 2013 side will be at or near the top. It's not that ours is bad at the moment, but we were winning games from our defence last year.

Right now we are Roosters of old, but with a bit more quality. One major thing that is killing us in my view (apart from the lack of the above) is our 4th and 5th tackle options. We bomb. That's it. Bomb for Tupou, another bomb for Tupou, maybe a bomb for SKD or RTS occasionally, but let's go back to bombing for Tupou quickly. Is it really so hard to grubber occasionally, maybe even get the odd repeat set?

Yep, we are gone. Season over, may as well pack our bags after Round 5.
