Business End Of The Season

[Card Shark]

Thankfully SOO is over & all teams have had their byes & are now on an even playing field heading into the finals.

Pick your top 8 from here...this is the table as it stands, 7 rounds to go:

34 Sharks
32 Melbourne
26 Cowboys & Bulldogs
25 Raiders
24 Broncos
20 Titans, Warriors, Panthers & Dragons
18 Tigers
16 Sea Eagles
14 Rabbitohs
12 Eels
10 Roosters
7 Knights

Without looking at the draw, going by who I think are the best 8 sides, I think:

1 Sharks
2 Storm
3 Bulldogs
4 Cowboys
5 Broncos
6 Raiders
7 Titans
8 Panthers
Just missing out - Warriors & Tigers

Yeah have to feel for Peats. Must of been tough taking brown paper bags in Top Ryde only to have to suffer the consequences a few months later.

What!!!!

NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS

Run home: Bulldogs (H), Storm (H), Wests Tigers (A), Roosters (A), Warriors (H), Bulldogs (A), Titans (H).

 

[bad boy bubby]

At start of the new comp I want two things:
1) that we finish 1 or 2- very likely
2) that we don't play the dogs in our first final- that's a lottery.

NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS

Run home: Bulldogs (H), Storm (H), Wests Tigers (A), Roosters (A), Warriors (H), Bulldogs (A), Titans (H).

Sorry mate I was referring to the fact that you picked the Dragons to make the 8. They won't make it in a month of Sundays!

Watch out for the dogs....

I agree Cowboys draw is horrible and their form is patchy.
No guarantees for a top 4 spot but I feel they''ll scrape in.

For me

Sharks 1st
Storm 2nd
Bulldogs 3rd
Cowboys 4th
Raiders 5th
Broncos 6th
Titans 7th
Tigers 8th

I have a feeling Tigers are going to Storm home.

Panthers and Warriors form is way to up and down to back them in.

Titans are in good form but an average run home.

Bulldogs could really make a run in if they get the better of the Cowboys this Thursday.

That match is a real crunch match for both those sides and I expect a very physical encounter.

 

[shaggs]

Sharks 44
Storm 40
Dogs 38
Raiders 33
Cows 32
Broncsos 30
Warriors 30
Dragons 28

I concur

I agree. Winners of that game will go on to make the top 4.

Titans and Tigers to just miss out, the rest are shite

 

[Card Shark]

NORTH QUEENSLAND COWBOYS

Run home: Bulldogs (H), Storm (H), Wests Tigers (A), Roosters (A), Warriors (H), Bulldogs (A), Titans (H).

Tough draw alright but they do play most of the tougher games at home

 

[roboshark]

IF we lose to the storm in the last round do u think that will start to cast some doubts come semis. Add that to our well known semi blowouts it could hurt
