The way we're performing especially, the last couple of weeks, doesn't entice any Broncos diehards for sure. It's utter disappointment for 2 weeks in a row for mine. We are very capable of bagging 4 points in the last 2 games but, alas. Tonight's game made sure we will not be in top 4 for sure.
If the analogy continues, we might win the next 2 (impossible at this stage) & lose to Manly in our last round but if it doesn't happen, we still be in 8. Let's say we finish on 8.
Mel (1) vs Dragons (4) - Mel to win to secure a home preliminary final
Souths(2) vs Roosters (3) - don't care who wins here
Panthers (5) vs Broncos (8)
Sharks (6) vs Warriors (7).
Can we fancy winning against Panthers at their home ground? With the loud noise being made around that club off lately & the speculation that Wayne could be their next coach, I suspect NRL would churn up this to happen.
If we do manage to win against Panthers (I doubt this as Refs will come to their rescue again) then, I very much fancy our chances against Dragons. That match should be the nail in the coffin for them Dragons for mine. If we managed to get till here, anything can happen.
As long as we don't get to play Melbourne in Melbourne in finals series, I fancy our chances.
I know it's all my enthusiasm, hope & speculation but, this is of no use. The only thing that matters is, team performance, their attitude & I can only WISH all the above said happens. We need to build that winning culture, putting the teams out of games. We're not doing either sadly.
