Hoping for the best, expecting another 1 point loss and Brown to have done nothing to coach closing out games this week.
Warriors will be missing Chad and or CHT. am expecting the usual with SOS and Kodi, Kodi to ball hog and decide to change the play and run away from the overlap. Just hoping these 2 can some how get their s... together and if so I have gone Warriors 13+.
Sharks have lost too many quality players vs what we have on paper, yet again, the halves connection is the most critical in any team and this is where the Sharks have us 10 fold. Cant wait for SJ next year.
Still think having the best defensive FB in the world sitting on the wing, instead of Walsh playing where he is most dangerous and that is 5/8th. But not doubting Walsh will join in on any carniage that occurs off the back of our behemouth yet mobile forward pack who played first 2/3 of the season fairly injury prone but still able to chew up 70m at will.
Can Egan create havoc by commiting to the dummy half run and or can he provide his typically reliable yet not always quick service to the half. From there the ball is in our weakest link.
RTS to 1 Walsh to 6, SOS to 7, Kodi benched and Taniela to 9 (but has been dropped via reserves). In fact Taniela to replace Egan at starting and Kodi to reserve grade.
That would make room with the RTS play to where he belongs at FB, for Pompey to play because we are desperately missing quality defensive centres with Aitken out.
If we can hold onto the ball, if the halves can make the right calls and be in the right positions, the centres and wings dont come jumping out of defensive line for the miracle intercept and or make a better impresssion defensively, then Im going the way I said above with the score.
Lodge is going to be great to see how serious he takes this oppurtunity to remain in the NRL and how keyed he is and how intensely he plays, without being a Jazz ;-p
Realistically this is our last chance this year, its must wins from here on in imo, slight chance it will be 11/13 that makes the 8, but unlikely.
Either way if we cannot win from here, we have no chance in the finals anyway, despite how good the majority of the team is.
8 games lost by 6 or less, 3 of those losses via a drop goal and all 3 of those we had a chance to win it first. Im pretty much looking forward to cricket season already. Warriors, more so Brown and his clear lack of systematically coaching what needs doing first has me bugged out and if SK broke some hearts, Im not expecting Brown to improve anything. I do however think next years team has a realistic chance without a coach with so much X factor across the park, from halves to props to centres to a quicker winger. And there will be plenty enough experience in the team.
