How were we saved by the buzzer? They dropped the ball from a forced error with a good tackle by Opacic.

Yeah all that improvement materialised into being saved by the buzzer against the dragons.
You with 1000 internets.
Wayne giving the boys the handshakes - happy coach. Happy fan here. Haven't enjoyed a grinding win like that for...months.
So you'll wait 4 more rounds to make the call. Very patient of you. Me on the other hand I like to think a little bit more ahead and gauge our performances vs those of the front runners. For me being pushed to the buzzer by one of the worst sides in the Comp (who were missing their best player) to competing against the top 3 in as little as 4 weeks is a bit of a long shot.
The team has potential, we saw it last year and for the first 10 rounds of this year but for any number of reasons it took a turn for the worst starting at the Cronulla game but most would agree things weren't right from round 1 even with the wins.
By all means continue to have hope but the divide between us and the top 3 is too steep a hill to climb this close to the finals.
My mates Croatian and it's not chick according to him.If it's the Slavic pronunciation. then it's Oh Pa Chick.

Im Australian so I just call him tommy
Nah mate, way ahead of you, I made the call after the loss to the Tigers, so probably a fair bit ahead of you.
But I have been playing, coaching and watching football for too long to not realize that sometimes all it can take is one good win to flick the switch and get a team on a roll.
Do I expect it to happen and they return to top form and trouble the top 3, probably not, am I hopeful that this will occur, very much so. Either way, I will enjoy the ride and hope for the best result for my team.
Thommo!
Happy with the renewed attitude but disappointed with Milf and Hunt to a lesser extent. A lot of Hunts work was great but I am perplexed as to why the kick into the I goal wasn't pursued more often. Both our halves seemed to miss chances to put pressure on the defenders with repeats.
Really does make you wonder what's going through the head of these two (Hunt & Milford). More so, it makes we wonder why the likes of Langer & Lockyer are getting into the heads of these guys off and on the field. Locky would have been driving the ball in behind the line all game .....squeezing the life out of the Dragons. Building pressure....working on momentum. We're probably suited to wet weather footy more than most teams with the basic structure we play.......yet the **** poor 4th and 5th tackle options were killing us. Did Hunt actually try a grubber on the line on the 2nd tackle. WTF??
Why wouldn't Wayne be emphasising that the game called for field position and patience.
