After the last two weeks I think we'll get our third in a row. A bit of belief is coming back for the boys, if only they had've played like this all year. Old boys day, Kurt's 250th and Aku's 150th, as well as a big crowd I think we'll spoil the Bulldogs party.

Gids last ever home game in Newcastle we cannot ****ing lose it for him.
 
At this stage they are a chance of winning their last 4 games to go with winning their first 4 games, normally a side like that would make the finals easily. Last season they only ended up missing out on the finals by 4 competition points and when you consider what a terrible season they had it wouldn't have been too difficult to snare an extra couple of wins with all those tight losses. This year has been a bit different with lots of heavy defeats but it really wouldn't have taken much for them to still have an outside chance of making it.

We're going to win this, and win it well, just to make us question why the hell we aren't playing finals footy.

Lmao what's wrong with you people. We have one great win and suddenly everyone thinks we're unbeatable

The dog's had an equally impressive win last round also

They have a heap to play for and are a better team than the Storm imo. If we win this game I will be surprised.
 
After seeing how disappointed & battered Gids has looked every press conference this year, I really feared he would leave on such a bad note. Those couple of wins would've been great for him & the boys in the sheds after the games & if we can keep playing well to finish off it'll be so good to see him finish up a happy man.

Wasn't it just last year we beat the Storm, then got abused 50-6 by the Broncos the week after?
