The Table

[shaggs]

Should be some movement in the top 8 this weekend with....
Eels vs Broncos
Roosters vs Cowboys
Storm vs Sea Eagles

At worst the top three could put a gap on the table.

Assume the home teams and us win,
The top 4 is

Storm 34
Roosters 32
Sharks 30
Brisbane 28

Then
Cows 28
Eels 28
Manly 26
Drags on something

 

[txta2]

Our run is hard but the teams below us are stumbling. Im confident of top 4 as long as cows lose a few

 

[Dragon Slayer]

As the cliche goes 1 week at a time.

If we win 4 out of 6 I think we make it in the top 4.

 

[Tiger Shark]

I think 3 out of 6 might do it with so many other Top 4 hopefuls playing each other over the coming weeks.

 

[Inferno]

We play better away.

 

[Card Shark]

& against better teams,

& we in more meaningful games.

 

[King Ben]

Still wouldn't want to face Melbourne in Melbourne first week of the finals.. or any week for that matter.

 

[Card Shark]

Yep

Got to be aiming for 2nd.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

Next two weeks without Jimmy are crucial.....if we can somehow jag two wins while the top 6 sides play each other over the next fortnight well be in a very healthy spot heading into last 4 rounds.

Melbourne and Cronulla are the only 2 teams in it. They're so far ahead of the rest of the competition it's not funny.. Manly are dark horses but there's no way the rest of the teams can compete with those 2 sides. B2B is definitely achievable!

 

[Card Shark]

Had to laugh watching NRL 360....I know, stupid thing to do.

Anyway, they still had all but 3 teams in the race for the 8.

Teams on 18 (Raiders,Titans, Warriors & Bulldogs) are still in it.

There is no way any of those teams are winning 6 from 6.

Agree, Cowboys looking good without Thurston but it will be a lot harder in the semis.

 

[Quigs]

Still a long way to go till the big dance showdowns start.

Key players are falling like flies.

Anything can and will happen

 

[Stake Removed]

Lets go there and beat them week 1, they then have to win week 3 away, all pressure on the world will be on them, and they know we can beat them

well, until they don't, then they are still in it.

Faarrken gooses......effectively 4 games out of the 8 (including for and against) and playing like busteds.....I'll personally lick Kenty's nuts if any one of those 4 makes the 8.

For mine there are 4 contenders.

Storm
Sharks
Broncos
Roosters

Injuries can and will play a part.

We want them in the GF again! Don't want to beat them week 1 and then meet them in the GF, we will lose

Roosters and broncos are good sides but they only really perform against sides low on the ladder. I haven't really seen the roosters step up to a good team this year. They only just beat the Melbourne reserve grade side!

Broncos won't win it because of all the chopping and changing of their spine.

I still reckon they're levels below sharks and Melbourne

I reckon manly is in with a decent shot if they get their shit together and koroisau returns. They can be deadly on their day.

Cant see the Roosters in there now without Micky G, he was playing great for the poultry. Big loss imo.
