[Nangsy]

Glad we let Maumalo go, uninspiring, Lazy as.

Broncos to bounce back after they're demolishing at our hands?

Anything's possible, broncs have a higher ceiling than their ladder position, I'm fukn nervous about tomorrow.

Yeah same....

Tigers offloads are just ruining themselves... all game

So has the Sharks win made our run even harder.. They've got the Broncos next week.

Yeah harder , means we can't drop a game given Melbourne have to win against them in round 25

Stays the same. Storm will crush them last round (even resting players) so we need to win all 3

A positive sign for us is they may wanna extend their record of consecutive wins so should be pumped for the sharks game.

Storm still mastering post-Cam Smith craft across 18 straight wins.

Does the finals run count in this record or only regular season?

Just witnessed one of the worst calls I’ve ever seen against the Tigers.

Must have been bad. the NRL have 'forgotten' to put it on the highlights.

For some reason I thought sharks winning next week would put them equal to our points if we win all 3.
At least with their win tonight we're under no illusions that we can make it by winning 2 of 3 games.
I'm most worried about the broncos game due to their recent form and them being the under dogs which is never a good sign.
We win tommorow and us making the 8 is looking a lot more possible.

According to Bruce’s point differential theory dogs will come back in the second half and boil
Over here

Ladder predictors usually get blown out of the water by shock results, but each game seems to come out as expected this year.

I have just flicked through each game of the season and I can count 2 shock, non-origin affected upsets this ENTIRE year.

Rnd 2 Eels over the Storm and
Rnd 11 Broncos over the Roosters in ground zero of the crackdown with Radley being sin binned 15 times.

The Panthers lost twice when Origin depleted.

There has been minor upsets with the Dragons, Knights, Eels and Tigers having had some hot and cold results, and Manly sucking at the start of the year sans Turbo, but it has been a pretty uninspiring season for fans.

Madge is not doing great with the tigers

Too hard core

I’m shocked and upset every time the Warriors lose. And we’ve lost more than twice 🤣

Too hard core

Seems to focus on motivating his team as the solution rather than trying to build a roster

Dogs score

They look super frustrated and like they're not enjoying things

Anyone’s game

I'd sign Lachlan Lewis as a depth half
