The Thunderbolts know they have what it takes to mix it with the best sides in the competition, it is just a matter of bringing their best for the full 80 minutes.
The Thunderbolts finished with a surge last week, scoring three tries in the final six minutes to fall just short against the Cowboys.
That strong finish has given them plenty to build ahead of this Sunday’s game against the fifth-placed Eels.
Be at AAMI Park when we take on the Panthers, Saturday 4 June, 7:30pm.
“To get so close and know that we didn’t play really well is a positive,” Thunderbolts coach Eric Smith said.
“We are also very disappointed knowing that if we had of played to our potential and played the way we did two weeks ago against the Titans we could have quite easily come away with a win there against quality opposition.”
The Thunderbolts currently sit in 12th spot with a 3-7 record.
They will take on an Eels side that is in fifth place and has won four of their past five games.
