2018 Top 8

[Bring back John Fifita]

Why the f**k do people still think we're a hope of making the 8?

Our halves are f**king horrible, especially Austin who after Catwright is the worst defender in the comp.

Our props are either fat and ineffective or just ineffective.

Two out of three of our best players are our wingers, one of whom is out injured for 2 months.

Our other best player is coming back from an ACL injury.

The team has 3 brainncells between them.


And did I our mention our coach is a total f**king spanner?

@AlwaysGreen Question - were you a Dragons' fan in a former life? Just curious..

Of those outside the 8 currently I'd suggest Raiders and Tigers are the only shout here. Especially with Hodgson back, granted you've lost Rapana..

Of who would potentially drop out of the 8 from the current... would say none at the moment put Post-Origin/injuries etc to key playmakers etc ... you never know who might fall out of the tree..

Cartwright isn't in "the comp". He's in Qld Cup, so I guess Austin is the winner.

 

[TheFrog]

The only team I give any chance of making the 8 who are currently outside it are the Raiders now that Hodgson is back

He's coming back from an ACL at 28. It takes ages to regain confidence after a knee reconstruction. The Raiders have a very tough draw. I'm prepared to write them off.

David Brown

Two of the most boring names in the english language. What a boring post

Well Austin hasn't played this week so he isn't in the comp technically either.

 

[veggiepatch1959]

How's Manly going bruh

Odds on for the spoon I reckon!

Who rattled this merkin's chain?

Go back to practising self fellatio.

Big tough words from mr big bad David Brown

You wouldn’t intimidate a 10 year old

Your just and all round bad bloke...

 

[Exsilium]

Yeah nah looks shit

Agreed.

Who’d ever wants Farah back.

Didn’t Farah and Marshall have a falling out? This is going to be interesting.

He wants you to think that.

David Brown is a badass ma-f**ker...proceed with caution

 

[Cherry_poppins]

Agreed.

Clearly Cleary wants to be fired

 

[kneegrow]

Agreed.

Well considering we don’t have an 80 min dummy half...and haven’t for the entire season it makes sense

Played pretty good for Souths in his last 2 games for them

 

[Griffoshark66]

Great thread. Keyboard warriors at ten paces.

 

[Bronco18]

Agreed.

Who’d ever wants Farah back.

Hard to keep track with who Farah hasn't had a falling out with. He'd give DCE a run for his money.

Oh yeah baby - the Raiders are back!

By ages you mean about 3 minutes right?

Hodgson was a fans wet dream today
He was brilliant. Totally controlled the game

 

[footy75]

Down to 9 teams...

With one of Raiders, Broncos or Sharks just missing.

Its done. Ink this 8 in already. Raiders showed Tigers up today but their draw is too tough I cant see them doing it.

Raiders need to play the Tigers every week for the next 9 weeks to make it, unfortunately they don’t

Top 8 is set. Hard to believe so far out from the end of the year however it is

 

[Life's Good]

Other than who finishes where in the 8 the teams there now are set.
Too big a task for the Raiders with their draw & slow start whilst the Tigers lack the players to go on a run.

 

[typicalfan]

Raiders play Sharks and Broncos in their next 5 games so while it’s a tough draw they play the teams they need to displace that makes them effectively both 4 point games. If Raiders win both of those games then they will look a lot closer to taking a spot.
