Top 8 already decided

[Patsy]

you can already discount the following sides - they are no chance of making the 8

storm - for obvious reasons
sharks
knights
brisbane
canberra
cowboys

Add to that the Warriors who are too hot & cold and already down to 9 teams left to make the 8.

And i think the Roosters are over achieving at the moment and won't be there by September.

Then you are aptly named, Patsy. We havent even started to play yet. We've still got half our forward pack out, and two wont be back. Watchout for JWH ... he's a beast.

[stimpy u idiot]

I don't really think that any prediction -- apart from melbourne to get zero points -- is Srsly worth anything. Roosters will struggle for consistent form but will make the bottom half of the eight. Maybe.

 

[Didgi]

Exactly. The Roosters are playing much better football than Souths, the Eels, the Tigers and Penrith.
I hold faith in y boys, but we need to hit form now and keep it for a very long time.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

I'd hardly say the Roosters are playing better footy than us. We're in the middle of our usual injury crisis and our coach is shuffling and changing players at will. Once we have some stability, we'll be back contesting for a top 4 spot probably....maybe.....hopefully.

 

[Didgi]

You do have a few injuries, and that is why I think if you were to play next week as is that the Roosters would win. Once some players come back you could really become a force.

IF we were to play next week? We do play next week. But i wish i was as confident as you that the Roosters will pull out a win.

 

[Selachimorpha]

A massive two points currently separates 7th and 15th, i'd think it's a little early to be guaranteeing anybody the lower spots in the 8.

 

[Shorty]

Um...yeah because there's a HUGE number of points seperating each spot.
/Fail!

 

[Scarves]

This has turned into arguably the weakest competition in the NRL's short existence and the standard and the depth already didn't look as good as previous years.

 

[Big Pete]

2007 and 2009 were worse quality wise.

 

[mickdo]

It's round 7 ffs

 

[Dazraider]

well bet you get it wrong by the end of the season, changes are always made to the eight later in the season

lolwut? Penrith are arguably the form team of the comp.
We'll beat Tigers imo.

Yeah the Goosters really gave Penrith a lesson in rugby league a fortnight ago you absolute goose.

Aren't the Tigers expecting Lui and a forward back? That means Haynetrain's best mate Lazarus might not play. I think you're a huge chance but something went very wrong against the Panthers. Whatever it was, attitude, needs to be fixed up.

 

[Rovelli]

Gross over-statement by the OP...it's far too early to suggest this.

 

[pantherz9103]

It should be easier to make the 8 with Storm out of the running. Penrith are top 4 currently and they should be aiming for that even moreso with Storm gone.

Penrith into $8 to win the Premiership this morning.
