I'm worried

I'm more worried about us having won 4 in a row. Usually that means we are due to drop either this week or next week. Although last year proved that anything is possible.

Sydney, even in the middle of a good streak, very rarely wins more than 4 in a row. We certainly didn't do so last year (R19-22 being the only time we touched 4 in a row). On my count we won 8 in a row in 1996, and doubtless you'd need to go back generations to top that. Since then, so far as I can see we've won 5 in a row twice in 1998 and once in 2001, and that's about it. Not that we want to use either of those years as a template, as our form pattern was simply bizarre: the two sets of 5 wins in 1998 sandwiched a run of losses that included back-to-back 100 point and 10 goal humiliations; and 2001 also featured Sydney's first run of 5 losses in a row since the bad old days.

So despite what everyone's saying, the pressure is actually on this weekend.
