Biggest game of the year (again)

[clontaago]

This week certainly is a crunch round. With us facing the Knights, the Cowboys and Panthers playing each other, and the Broncos against the Titans.

This is a must win game for us (again).  🙂

Under the rader.

Knights without Mullen, plus Smith deserting them, plus good preperation for our boys sans SOO, a win!

I just hope Rodney is back....geez he was well trained as a junior!!

It could also mean they are going to band together and his us hard. If we play like we did on Saturday it's going to be a hard game to watch

 

[Fluffy]

It will be a valuable win if we can grab it.

A turn out like against the dogs is what is needed

 

[Matabele]

What a bloody shame we surrendered home ground advantage.  Having it at Bluetongue is virtually a home game for Drugcastle. 

 

[DSM5]

Maybe not.  Smith has ensured a hostile reception for him at least.  Bluetongue on a Friday night?  Very hard for Sydney based fans to get to.  Hope it's worth the 100 grand.  I'll be a Currawong, so near and yet so far.

 

[Matabele]

Given the Knights fan base are mainly dole bludgers I would imagine they'll be taking the Friday game in force, unlike the taxpayers from Manly who write their cheques.   

 

[Kiwi Eagle]

Hopefully they run the same revenge line that seemed to work and have them fired up against the Dogs

Shame we don't have Matai back yet. I would also like to see our centres swap sides, so we get the Stewart/Lyon/Williams combo that works so well back together

 

[Crusher_Cleal]

We simply MUST win this game. We need to finish 5th for the following reasons:
1. There's a good chance we'd play the Titans. I fancy us up there against them. It's certainly a better proposition to playing away against the Dragons / Storm. A win will give us good momentum going into the 2nd week, which is key.
2. Little chance of being eliminated first w/e from 5th.

 

[Fluffy]

we should finish 4th, much better than 5th as you get the home ground advantage and even less chance of being eliminated

 

[SeaEagleRock8]

I will be in the minority but I feel this could be one of the smallest games of the year.

 

[The Gronk]

5th is exactly the same chance of being eliminated as 4th, because if you lose it is to the 5th placed team and you effectively take their place. 

 

[DVS Matt]

we won't lose - doesn't matter

Hasn't seemed to worry us in the past.

      Spot on I hope at the end of the season we don't regret giving up home ground advantage for this game,at Brookie we are almost certainties where as now it's 50/50 at best.Who can we blame for giving this game up Mayer (penn) or Delmege?

 

[Downie]

Haven't our last few home games against the Knights been at Gosford? And we've beaten them each time up there as well, I think.
