Have we....?

Post by SuffolkTiger » 30 May 2019, 23:03

Got it in us to make the top 5 at the end of term - and then peak in order to rattle cages in the play offs and cause an upset (based on form of all teams do far)?

Just asking....

Absolutely.
I reckon we will finish 3rd. From that point, it’s about putting in our best performances of the year.

think any body apart from London can put a good run in and make top five, even leeds only six points off top five second from bottom at the minute , but we could easily go the other way down the table with a bad run. On are side is winner able games in are fixture run in. Think the hudds game coming up is massive for confidents off the players and fans to get back on board for rest off season a big loss to them think would be hard to turn season round for points and attendances for rest off season. So my answer to you can we make top five as good chance as any body else ,can we win grand final on present form I would say we are three our four decent players off that standard but get in top five on top form miracles sometimes happen.

Wigan won the grand final under Wane and they looked also awful at this stage in the season apart from saints the standard is poor Warrington I'm not over impressed with tho they have two top players in Daz and Austin
It would take a massive change in attitude were sitting back in defence waiting for teams to come at us and are attack looks mostly clueless to make the grand final
The measure of who we are is what we do with what we have

We haven't the intensity,skill in attack to fool the top teams and our defense doesn't seem to be a solid wall moving up compared to a few years ago.
5th is possible,but as the points above,realistically I cant see us doing anything if we make it........we desperately have missed Gale and it has shown this season I'm afraid.

I think we may sneak in. We have a run of games now where we could win a lot of games. Still not sure we can beat the top teams though once the play offs start.

On our game, with troops back there is only one top team I fear.

May sneak in the 5 just because so many sides have been so inconsistent but would go out with a whimper if we did. We have no cohesion in attack and a paper thin defence and I can't see us troubling the likes of Saints , Wire, Hull or Wakey in one off games.

We’ve certainly got it in us to make the top 5. We can beat anyone in a one-off game apart from Saints.
We desperately need to improve though. We look brittle in defense and toothless in attack. Missing Gale badly, along with a full back who joins the attacking line effectively. I love Pete but we’ve looked more threatening going forward when Turner has played full back. I’d move Pete to centre and put Minikin on the wing.
Obviously injuries have taken their toll. Our bench has been pathetic for most of the season. If we get some bodies back we’ll ruffle a few feathers.
I’d take 5th place now if it was offered.

That would work better for me cause minikin is no good at centre where would Clare go though :-k

Pete, is as safe as houses under the high ball, but its the first time i have posted that it may be a good idea to try him in the centre Minikin for me as not got the size for a super league centre but the lad can more than hold his own on the wing,Turner as been kicking his heals over recent weeks and must be fir and ready to have a go

Good scenario it would be definitely worth a go ive said before that minikin is far too small for centre gets banged about everytime too easily

Yes. It is a poor league so we have every chance of finishing 5th. Maybe 4th depending on what happens elsewhere.

Loads still to play for Wire v Catalans next week so if we beat Huddersfield we could be 2 points off 3rd

Can’t see it.
No doubt the effort and belief is pure, but to me, we’re subconsciously building for next year in ways.
