Ok other than the two games (Warriors and Dragons) we have been really competitive this season and played exceptionally well against the ladder toppers Storm and Rabbitohs.

The cut off is 13 wins to make the 8 going by last few seasons results.

We have 2 wins after the 7 games so far into the season.

In these remaining 17 games we play Rooster twice, Storm and Rabbitohs one more time. We most likely will lose all these 4 games so we would have to win 11 games from the remaining 13.

With Nappa and Foran coming back and young guns firing , I am still a firm believer that we have the squad to win 11 of the remaining 17 games and make the 8.

What do you think?

Mathematically we still have a chance. Lots of teams sitting around the 8. It is up to the team. If they want to achieve it then it is there to be achieved. But, if they continue this hot and cold business then forget it.

Did you mean bottom 8 or top 8?

Top 8 is a no from me. And if we do we'll get destroyed.

Bro I love your optimism but we're a long way off those top teams sadly.

The reason why we competed against Storm and Souths was they turned up expecting to win. In a finals match against a fully focussed team we wouldn't be in the contest.

But anything is possible and I will always be cheering for the team.

keep in mind we competed without our two main players in Nappa and Foran.

I can only imagine the result have we had both of them fit and playing.

It'll be near impossible with the very young side we have. We'll need Napa and Foran out there leading this team to have any real shot.

I live in hope. But we probably needed to start better. Given that we have a young side if they can have enough faith in themselves it's possible. Will need to have a strong run to even get to the middle of the ladder right now. I won't give up hope until the fat lady sings.

It’s not impossible, but we will find it hard from here!! I’m not ruling it out just yet.. but realistically as long as we avoid the spoon then that’s the main thing!!..Anything else will be a bonus.

Win/loss/draw I will be cheering the boys on!!

Look anything can happen and the fact that 7 teams or so are equal on points on the bottom of the ladder would help our cause IF we got a roll on. Confidence is a funny thing, add no injuries to that and you never know. The biggest hurdle would be the refs IMO.
