Very short odds that one more win gets it. Probably more likely to impact the battle for 4th but the Phins and Sharks are so far ahead on that front that we’re very unlikely to catch them.

Winter was exceptional today and I believe put those doubts about his defence to bed, it was a bit of a joke of a game, I’ll take the win but we will be making up numbers with that putrid defence but all in all it’s been a great season and a massive turnaround
I noticed on that Fox momentum tracker thingee ... which actually seems very accurate whenever I notice it, I have to say ... our first two tries in the second half were during periods of heavy Titans dominance/momentum.
That will be the thing that really worries other sides in the finals. They can control possession, territory, errors and all that, and we can still score points.
I don't think anyone will be wanting to play us.

Would've liked us to win more convincingly, but I think we have an edge heading into the finals by having players who can make things happen at crucial moments. We don't win that match if Fletcher and KP aren't in the side.
All in all though it was a pretty fun one, we had stiffys, dry humping and loads of points. What's not to love?

What is the format again? Does the winner of 5v8 vs loser if 1v4 or 2v3?
If you come 4th and lose week 1 you get a home semi week 2 anyway dont you?

I think the late tries matter big time. It’s about consistency and discipline. Setting standards for next year when we could arguably and rightly be favourites for top 4. Start setting these standards now and don’t give away **** tries versus a **** team. Particularly when it could be out of us and Souths for 6th place. Don’t leave it to chance. But anyway, no injuries (Dane not too serious hopefully) and the 2 points is big.

And we can score points from anywhere on the field.

I’m of the firm belief that whatever happens happens and there’s always a reason things happen the way they do. Remember 2023 season when a bashed and bloodied Knights showed up there for the semis and got destroyed? Well I can tell you right now so do Newcastle and they won’t roll over like they did last time. Hopefully NZ continue to see us as a walk over side just making up the numbers.
Now, that had a lot to be excited about today’s game. Yes they went to sleep for a few periods but I don’t think they do that against teams they respect. They need to change that mindset though if they want to be taken seriously.
The Fletchers today were amazing.
I like that we’ve gone from a one to two man strike team to anyone on the park can be dangerous. Makes us a real threat and all the pundits are talking about it now while somehow still flying under the average punters radar.
Well done to Holbrook and company!
