Battle for the Wooden Spoon

Were the broncos outside the 8 in 2006 then had a late run into the finals?

Nah just in the traditional origin slump

 

[I bleed Maroon]

The difference between us and those other teams is ours is on average way younger, and the only senior players we have are well past it. Not a great mixture for a mid season surge.

Additionally, how far were they outside the 8 points wise?

In Round 16 2005, Wests Tigers were on 16 points with a Points Differential -40.

Sydney Roosters were 8th on 18 points with a Points Differential of +21.

Melbourne were also on 18 points and were 6th on the ladder.

Wait till late August . Then if you are right you are a genius . ATM you sound like a spoilt brat .



Treat winning the same as losing ...
Sports psychology has come a long way since the Colosseum .

Mmmm, Kipling's 'If'. Love it.

We won't go anywhere near the spoon, we'll make the eight and be a real threat again.

Ok, so bottom 4 but only 1.5 wins outside the 8. Not too adrift.

Go cowboys!

Heads up: Bulldogs just put 12 points on the Cowboys. That means if we lose by a margin of more than 2 points more than the Knights this weekend, we go straight to the bottom of the table.

Don't have to worry about that, we'll win 13+. The beginning of the resurgence and happily for Boydy, Seibold, Knik and Macca a week free of shit talk. Nothing will change for Milford though, he'll still tackle like it's under sevens.

Hopefully the eels will do a number on the knights too

Now I know you're trolling...

Well, if we do get to hold the spoon this weekend, I think the coach should take all the credit. Where it's due.

Yep, because he is missing one on one tackles and dropping the ball.

Fair dinkum, some people...

Like the jockey said to the trainer - I can’t pick him up and carry him out of the gate.

Nope, because his team has been consistently losing every game. And that's at least partly because of our impotent attack that doesn't know what to do on the 5th tackle. And which he says "isn't a problem" and refuses to change.

Every expert commentator is saying he needs to change the spine, but he says he knows better. Well he's the coach; it's his choice. But he's also responsible for the outcome.

The longer he continues this losing streak the less convinced I am he knows what he's doing.

our attack isn't the problem ...

we have created plenty of opportunities this season ... but dropping the ball repeatedly over the line (or throughout the match really) doesn't help us score points.

in fact we just scored 22 points against the best defensive team in the league (who before they played us were averaging around 8.8 points per game)
