Re: Are we premiership contenders?
Souths are looking pretty ordinary at the moment.
This comp is wide open. Pressure is on for a decent performance tonight to take 2nd spot on the table.

I'd love to hit Rabbits in the semis, they're a bit hit and miss aren't they ?

Yep. Going on current form if we came up against Souths, and perhaps Easts in the finals, I would be quietly confident of winning whereas against Storm I would only be hopeful of getting them on a bad day.

Not even close, south's have lost 4 in a row and are still above us.

Re: Are we premiership contenders?
Not at this stage clearly - off nights are one thing, but there is too much rubbish in our game. The first 30 mins of the Eels match shows what we can get to, but we aren't consistent

The club has 2 days to get Williams from the UK if we want to be a premiership contender.

Just because we are 4th doesn't mean we are premiership contenders. But things can change, if we can get the rubbish out of our game

Re: Are we premiership contenders?
No. It doesnt, but i DOES mean we should **** panic. This team is good, and better than most. We're playing a game in the middle of canberra winter... which for those who dont know, it quite ****... up in humidity we aint really about
That loss was very infuriating and yes, we arent on the same level consistently as the VERY top teams...but we'll push Parra's **** in come finals time if we have too

Re: Are we premiership contenders?
This team has all the talent to be premiership contenders, just like the last two seasons to be brutally honest. At this stage we are just too dumb to make the most of it though.

Re: Are we premiership contenders?
We're a half away from being genuine premiership contenders imo. The talent is all there but we need somebody with a cool head in the dying minutes when we're 1 or 2 up or down to hold things together... we still tend to go in to a panic at times and I suspect it's because we're missing that calming influence. I think it's fair that most NRL pundits don't rate us as a serious premiership threat this year. Anything could happen as far as injuries/suspensions etc. go but I can't see us taking it out unless all the luck is on our side. It is our best shot in a long while though and it would be good to see us make a push in to the grand final.

Re: Are we premiership contenders?
I mean, if we are ruling ourselves out as premiership contenders after that weekend then it's just a two horse race between last year's finalists given other results over the weekend.

Re: Are we premiership contenders?
....it probably is anyway.
In reality its too early to tell. Form at this time of year is important for ladder position but has little relevance when we get to the finals. How teams are performing through August gives much better insight into who the contenders are.

Agreed, in fact this is probably the worst time of the year to assess who is a contender based on form!Northern Raider wrote: ↑July 1, 2019, 1:45 pm....it probably is anyway.

Re: Are we premiership contenders?
September seems the best month to assess who's going to win it, if you ask me.
First weekend of October has some bearing too.
