Will we win another game in 2021?

Post by LastRaider »

I’m looking at the draw for the remainder of the season and I honestly can’t see many wins coming our way. Our remaining games are:

Sea Eagles - currently inform, unlikely
Sharks - depends who plays better this week. A maybe
Eels - Not a chance
Knights - Ponga is hitting form, spine is back. Unlikely
Dragons - all suspensions will be served, playing better than us… depends how the respond to the “under the bed” saga
Storm - Not a chance
Sea Eagles - full squad, not a chance
Warriors - probably playing for a top 8 spot, will be motivated. Not likely
Roosters - Will be in top 8, perhaps a chance if they rest players for finals.

The Sharks is our best chance and maybe the Roosters in the last round if they rest players.

1-2 maximum. We are VERY lucky there are rabbles like the Broncos and Bulldogs around

Probably not, but it will be a peak Raiders thing to spud up most of the season then go on a 5 game winning streak to finish 9th

I think 1-2 is exactly right
I'd be stunned if we won more than 2 games the rest of the way

Wouldn’t shock me if we knocked off a top team like the storm in an emphatic way just to really make everyone ponder what should have been. But 1-2 in total seems about right

Out of all our remaining the games, the one I would safely bet my life on not winning, would be the Storm game. We have literally 0% chance.

On paper we should have won plenty of games this year though. Unfortunately our team list tends to be written on 1/2 ply toilet paper already used.

In response to some optimistic soul maintaining that we were a shot at finals even up until 5 days ago, I said looking at the draw we would be winning no more than 3 games for the rest of the year. And that factored in a win against the Titans.

We will struggle to win even 2 more games I'd say, considering Knights have Ponga back.

Perhaps we can scrounge a win against the Sharks and/or Dragons. But you'd be crazy to bet your hard earned on us.

Not sure what the point of this thread is?

Think of all the bad losses we have had so far this year. I can think of 7 off the top of my head that we would /should have won with even league-average coaching/fitness/skill levels.

Who gives a fudge whether we win any token games from here? The focus should be on exactly why we are so far off being competitive this season, and how we go about getting back to the level we want to be at.

We will win them all, get into the 8, rickys going to bask in it, claiming it was his plan all along, then the boys will read their own press and then get smashed the first week of the finals, its how the old furner raiders would do it.

Without commenting on a matter that may go to the courts, from a Raiders perspective you don’t often get second chances like this. I won’t be stunned but maybe bemused if the gift isn’t accepted
