Apart from the Brissy games, and maybe WSW, every game feels winnable right about now if we can continue playing like we did against the Scum.

Two away games at the end of the season is crap!
Just play home & away each week.
It`s bad enough when the Mariner`s are away from home for just one week.

I think 20 points from the 33 will see us secure 2nd and that should be the target now. However, if I was Mossy I'd be looking at these particular games in another way. These are the games that we have to get up for precisely because no-one expects us to win them at this stage. If we win twice against Brisbane then we are neck and neck with the Roar and a very unlikely premiership becomes a possibility.

. note for any members still holding free passes:

• take a very close look at that list and the conditions of 'bring a friend' tickets
• i believe your only two options are now the next two games (melbourne and wellington)
• i don't think they are meant to process them the day of the game (do it beforehand)
• don't let your tickets go to waste

 

[eenfish]

Aye, must get your tickets before 2pm on day of the game.

. thanks for the clarification ... mine are gone so i can't check the fine print

premiership becomes a possibility.

Has there ever been a poll or debate on this forum on what is considered the biggest achievement, winning the premiership or winning the grand final/championship?
If so, what was the majority view?

Premiership. To be top after 27 weeks beats two wins in a row.

Two wins in a row for me - The pressure when it's all or nothing against a team supposably equal in quality under the watching eyes of a roaring crowd out ways week in week out success for excitment & reward.

I take nothing away from premiers it's a great achievement. But in Australia only GF's matter.

Ask the wonderers who thought jumping up & down in Newcastle was fun until they went to Allianz.

Ask all the CC fans wether they remember the GF defeats & the highest high or the nights we won the premiership.

WE ARE THE PREMIERS - Nope
WE ARE THE CHAMPIONS - YEP

I'd pick premiership. To win the prem means you gotta be the best team over the whole year. Championship is pretty good to have, especially after being so close so many times… but it takes more to win over 27 games than to just win 2/3 in a row.

It has to be the Championship.
Never mind what has happened along the way. When the music stops the winner will always the last man standing.
Remember Stephen Bradbury ?

Honestly, purists will see the premiership as more important (and I tend to agree with them...)

But just how f**king good was that feeling on 21/4/13. Pure ecstasy.
