but i am am worried about the raiders game spoiling our top 4 chances if tom is not playing.I get it @Mark from Brisbane BUT we will have Turbo back soon enough. I think the question is actually moot.
No way will we finish 6th, Canberra game is a danger, but our last two game are against the Dogs and Cowboys, two of the worst teams in the past ten years, and no way will Parra win all of their remaining games.If sh!t happens and we finish 6th so be it. Where did we really expect to be 8 weeks ago. A rested Turbo and we will roll into week 2 of the semis.
I am keen to see how the team goes over the next 3 weeks. The halves and the edges are going well. The middles need to stand up which they did against the Eels. We probably need our props back and healthy,
We might struggle to beat the Raiders this weekend without him, let alone win the comp.
I think the beating we took at Brooky against the Raiders will be motivation enough to get us over the line, there's a lot of Manly players who would have been more than a little embarrassed by that p!ss poor effort, I don't think any of the boys want the team to be seen as a one man band, I reckon they'll be fired upThis is a joke right?? We can't even defend for 10 f$&king minutes when tom gets rested early..
Last week... 40-10 with a 13 on 12 advantage... Tom takes a break with 13 to play and it ends up 40-22
Last night...
Eels never once looked capable of holding the ball for 3 tackles in a row let alone score a try, tom takes an early shower and eels go straight in to score...
Tom is our only hope of a title... He's in absolutely everything we do, and we look very average when he isn't involved
Edit.. didn't realise he was injured .... If he misses the regular season we should still beat cowboys and doggies, but Raiders are gonna be a worry
There's always a bit of that Kevin, wouldn't be Silvertails without it🙂Melodramatic? Alarmism? Reactioniary?
It was actually against the Raiders that Tom's hammy went and we did go on to beat them that daylast year when tom got injured. we played a very gutsy win against canberra either that week or the next before we were on the nose. canberra were high flying then.
this season we have flogged the cows without tom
Trent Barrett
these are the last remaining obstacles to a finals campaign
we should send tom on holidays for a few weeks to freshen up

Don't forget the time we went without the ball in that raiders game, they had enough ball to win by sixty, a decent ref and a 50/50 share of the ball and we'll be too good for themAgree. Hopefully we'll fire up and beat the Raiders but none of us would be super confident. If the Raiders complete a high number of sets and kick and pin us in the corners or in goal like last time and we have no fullback to defuse, we will struggle. Exactly like a few weeks ago.
This week should tell us how much we have improved.
