Just looked at the draw and what looked like a pretty good run is a lot harder now with matches against the two sides on the march (panthers and knights) who we play away in the next couple of weeks-not stadiums where we win regularly.Throw in a desperate tigers at Gosford with players back and these 3 away games will probably decide our finishing position.The broncos have a great draw and should come home with a wet sail.I can see R26 against them being VIP.
I can see us winning all those away games above if we play well as they are Sunday arvo affairs as opposed to cold saturday nights in ****holes like penrith and newcastle.Having said that we need to have a great run home as 4th or 5th is usually a deathknell as we have found out a few times,particularly now there is no home ground advantage for Sydney sides in the first week unless the club plays out of ANZ or SFS.
Saints and Broncos have great draws and probably run one and two while the other 3 contenders have a lot tougher runs.It is essential we lift and rune 1/2 or no worse than 3rd IMO.
