Team Selection, Player Form, Playoff Implications
Re Boyd, I just believe he will crumble in the big games. He always has. We will not win pressure footy with him leading us around. So may as well gamble on someone else is my feeling. However I get how he is in for this week.On Tanah, I've been critical of his performance and truthfully I'm not expecting anything different from him.
However, I'm stoked he has been recalled immediately, keen to see how he responds to the dropping - could be the making of him
I suppose you are rightThey way I see it Webby was using the opportunity to point out subtlety, so as to avoid a fine, that the ref’s have been crap.
A win tonight would give them confidence to stay in the hunt.Yea to me this is a pretty simple game.
Win and you solidify your finals chances (not to mention a place back in the top 4 would be possible if Panthers lose to Storm).
Lose and not only do you not deserve top 4 but chances of dropping out of the 8 begin to increase dramatically.
I'm now in the camp that if we were to lose this week it's a major possibility we don't win again all season.
I wouldn't like to meet him in a dark alleywayI feel like hurting feelings today
So, Here we go....The fish glaze is too much. He's a grizzly looking panda.
A win tonight puts us back into top 4. A loss could drop us down to 7th (if both Broncos and Sharks win). They are nipping at our heels!Penrith have put our destiny into our own hands.
Will we blow it? Of course, but maybe not this week.
Win and back in the 4, then work out how the efffff we can stay there again.
Lose and was a pipedream anyway.
