blogging it real

Further to Friday's blog on the Warriors getting into the top eight this appeared in the Sunday Star-Times over the weekend:

Warriors coach Tony Kemp has set his team a target of six wins from their last 10 games of the season to keep alive their finals chances despite a tough run home.
Kemp believes his side, lying 11th after yesterday's NRL fixtures, still have a "good shot" of finishing in the top eight, despite a four-week run ahead against teams which have all made recent finals appearances. Brisbane visit today, then the Warriors play the North Queensland Cowboys, Bulldogs and Sydney Roosters.
Kemp wants his side to double its tally of 14 points to make it through, and with a bye in the final competition round, that means six more victories.
"We would like to win the lot, but I think 28 points is a good cut-off," Kemp admitted. "We mapped out the final 13 rounds at our mid-season review and the players know the map and are well aware of the games we have targeted to win.
"The players know they are well in with a shot with 11 rounds to go. But it is going to go right down to the wire - and it may come down to points difference. We just have to make sure we continue competing for the eight."

Lets not wait till the last few rounds to get the other five ey boys.
