No you didn’t.I stopped watching the game, couldn't push through it anymore

Ok yeah I see where I went wrong and wasn't counting all the byeswhere last year they had 3 so thats 6 points. So 12 wins to 3 byes gets you to 30 points. The problem is thats when a good for and against comes in.I would think you will need 30 points to make the top 8 this year especially if it is more even.
I think the standard is up, you can see it, but its just patchy and inconsistent. I think we will learn from the second half collapse against the Roosters while also recognising that we are capable of matching with most sides. Its just a case on belief and consistency. I think they have the ticker and commitment its just knowing how to overcome setbacks and control games more. Burton's kick os great and so is Mahony.I think we are going to struggle in the short term we have too many injuries. Losing the south’s game hurt us the most. I don’t know why our effort dropped in the second half against the roosters (possibly injuries). That said the roosters effort first half was horrendous.
Most importantly if we play with the effort that was shown in the first half against the roosters, first 60 minutes against sharks and full 80 minutes against
the bunnies for every minute of every game for the rest of the season regardless of who we play in what position we are semi finals bound.
Gut feel is it will go to shit at some point we are not quite there yet.
I was most impressed with Blake Taaffe this week he was a superstar, I hope the head knock has not sent him backwards with his confidence. He schooled Dominic Young with that sideline tackle. 2 weeks suspension for that head high shot is horrible, shame NRL.
Id like to see those called "loose carries".I dont think so... Could easily be considered a loose carry as Burton just removes his hand rather than racking or playing at the ball.
Its a flip of a coin really.
If NSW has half a brain, theyd pick Lomax on the right wing. Not sure Fox has played enough footy to stake his claim.Ok yeah I see where I went wrong and wasn't counting all the byeswhere last year they had 3 so thats 6 points.

But we have won two games so we need at least to win half our games till round 13. So thats 3 games. We have Storm next week so count that a loss. But then we have a bye and hopefully reenergise and get a full fit team. We play the Knights R& and Tigers R9 at home so hopefully we can win those two. Then we have Panthers R10 at Panthers so forget that one. Then Raiders in Camberrs and Dragons at home R12.
Then we play Knights again in Newcastle. But that is around SOO so maybe Ponga, Saifiti and Best out. Maybe the Fox and Critta out of Dogs. It would be good to jag another but 3 wins should keep us in the hunt. Even 2 if we have a strong finish.
First time ive seen the press conference.
My house erupted after that tackle. Changed the game I reckon. What I really liked was the way the boys congratulated him. The celebration after the tackle looked like a try celebration
Whether it’s Lomax or anyone else for that matter. Fox cannot be selected for NSW.If NSW has half a brain, theyd pick Lomax on the right wing. Not sure Fox has played enough footy to stake his claim.
Did we use our captains challenge?? Can’t remember, if not wonder if it was a ploy.
Ive long believed teams use their captains challenges too frivolously.Ploy to achieve what? Show we trust the refs and bunker? Lol
Oh it was a weird game so who knows lmao..Id like to see those called "loose carries".
But its that last twist of Burton's hand that makes it look suspicious. He did it in the Sharks game also and that time got pinged for it.
As you said, its a 50-50 call.
Im just glad Roosters had no challenge left. The way that 2nd half was going, we would have lost the challenge i reckon.
Yeah you’re right. Hadn’t seen that. Imo now, it is likely Kikau didn’t pass because Tracey was clobbered beforehand. Yes agree. Had kikau actually tried to pass it was penalty + 10 in bin for Roster professional foul.Did everyone miss the professional foul Joey Manu on Tracey when Kikau took out Tedesco? Manu tackled Tracey on the inside which should have been 10 in the bin.

Until it was bought to my attention, I had never thought about it. Yet makes 100% sense to me now as well.Ive long believed teams use their captains challenges too frivolously.
id rather finish having not used it, than lose it in the first 10mins it on a ruck interference call and lose the game in the last 10 on a Sutton type scam call.
good on him hopefully he gets away with itHUGHES IS FIGHTING THE CHARGE.
