Ambush coming

[2ndphase]

Is this the end of our run or are we setting up an ambush?
Surely we can’t play 3 shit games in a row.

Nah we're done we look tired and teams a working us out going through the middle.

 

[L.B]

Looking like the game is at Accor. Guess we’ll find out in 20 mins. But from what’s being reported it looks like turbo will be playing next week and Saab is still out. So I don’t know. We will be almost at full strength so let’s see if we can manage to pull this off

Manly are getting there arse fucked and we beat that sharks team.

I still think they will be way to strong for us, can't see us turning things around from two floggings. Were done.

 

[bulldogsmyte]

Go sharpies. Up by 14 with 20 min to go

 

[2ndphase]

I’m watching it now bro fuck all sharks supporters The Kennel would have it a sea of blue and white would be epic

The sea of blue n white did fark all the last 2 games the worst 2 games of the season.
The boys are tired and done!

 

[_G-Dog_]

We are specials next week.. we get fully fit cavalry they get a busted Turbo..

 

[maroondog72]

Manly played their GF against us.

 

[Timbo_Dogs]

We can beat the Eagles now is the time to back the boys

 

[bulldogsmyte]

Good on you sharkies. 8 min to go and up by 26. We get a home final against the most hated team in the comp.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Can we just beat Moanly for once, honestly cannot remember the last time we beat them.

Seems like every time we play them they turn it into a training session.

 

[Cappuccino]

What game do we play? 4pm saturday??

 

[HD and Ink]

We are specials next week.. we get fully fit cavalry they get a busted Turbo..

Agree. If all your blokes are available and reckon you can take them.
Drop the errors and you'll be in Week 2.

so what youre saying is, after 25rds it took manly in rnd26 to figure out that (running through the middle of a small pack would work) and not one other team with big forwards thought to try that at all other than manly and cowboys a team we lost to previously by only 2pts? and with the help of sutton by the wat

your call about the warriors showing how to beat us makes no sense as we beat them twice and the most recent game was 34-18. so im not sure what youre getting at there

Warriors were dominating us in the first half. Making good yards with strong runs from their middles. Cirro in the manly post game presser said “we left some cues last week against the warriors”. Yes we’ve played big packs before and held them out but the last 2 games our defence has been picked apart. I’m not a coach but I don’t understand how our defence can go back to what it was in 2023 so quickly.

What game do we play? 4pm saturday??

Saturday night 7.45 pm

 

[Shire Dog]

What game do we play? 4pm saturday??

I think it could be the later game at 8.00

 

[Stinger]

Plus they're a lazy defence team who didn't have to absorb anything and when they should have been making tackles and marking up were sitting in the line getting lucky with intercepts.

It won't cut it against the best teams.

I don’t think think they got lucky with intercepts. Their outside backs came up and in fast forcing our halves to throw lofty passes which they were waiting to pluck out of the air.

thats true and also do not forget Cowboys are the inform team in the comp who has not only beaten us but also Storm, Panthers and Sharks in the last few weeks.

For me Cowboys can go all the way and win this .

Cowboys were up there a couple of years ago. They have more or less the same side. I think perhaps the best in the bottom 4. But Sharks have shown in the last couple of weeks they are up there as well and I think could beat the Cows.

Whoever plays them in Townsville is going to find it hard. Though if anyside can it may be the Phins being also from Qld and with that crafty old fox Bennett. But then Knights are also coming good. But I think it will be too hard for them up in north Qld.

I don’t think think they got lucky with intercepts. Their outside backs came up and in fast forcing our halves to throw lofty passes which they were waiting to pluck out of the air.

A team with a much better attack would have seen this, made some tweaks and exploited them. Cowboys don't get into grinds.

 

[Fruitty Pebbles]

Kurt Mann is a huge loss for us. The result will be different though.

it has been glaringly obvious that we have been off the mark. I’m not saying it intentional but the intensity has not been there.

Come Saturday I genuinely feel that steel defence will be back.

Prediction:

We beat Manly next week
Beat Penrith week after.
Put on a clinic against Storm
And beat the RORTERS IN THE GF

 

[Utility]

how could we have stepped up with two debutants and hutch in the middle?

humor me.

It’s not like our debutants were the problem. Our defence was shoddy all over the park and our forwards got pantsed again.

Not writing us off against Manly, but it will take a huge turnaround in effort to get to week two.

Happy to be playing finals, though. Overall you’ve got to class the year as a success.
