2019 Rd 24: Non Parra games

[Gronk]

Is there any rule stopping teams from not trying to win ans settling foe a scoreless draw?

Cos if Tigers win today and Broncos lose to Dogs ... Sharks and Tigers can then happily get a draw and both go past brisbane on points diff

I like the cut of your jib.

Yes Dogs beating Broncos would be sweet.

We’d play the Tigers at home in the Semi.

 

[strider]

Sharks and Tigers should do whats in their best interests ... guaranteed finals and no injuries .... makes sense

 

[strider]

Someone forgot to inform the Dragons of my excellent idea

 

[TheParraboy]

I would suspect making 7th or 8th you wouldn't be wanting to play us in the first week of the finals, they would prefer to be taking on Manly?

Well we will see at about 7:40 Friday who looks the better option

 

[TheParraboy]

If we finish 5th - then Saturday 14/9 semi final
Finish 6th then Friday 13th semi final

Would that be right?

Need to sort out my accomodation , guess have to wait till this Friday around 8pm ish

might book the two nights

Scrum won against the feed, Roach and the other ninkumpoop partying like its 1999...

If we are planning to win week 1 of the semis (assuming that Storm and Roosters win) we’ll want to play the bunnies at ANZ rather than Raiders in Canberra. Can you work on that too mate ?

LOL Fifita looks like doing a shoulder carrying Gal

Assume Raiders are gonna beat warriors, then they finish 3rd.

Second week of the finals, loser of 2nd v 3rd plays winner of 5th v 8th ... so we dont wanna be 5th if we wanna avoid playing in canberra ... so we need to throw the game against manly

Doesnt the highest ranked loser (from the top 4) ie Canberra
play the lowest ranked winner from the bottom 4 ? So if we finish 5th and win, we dont play canberra but Souths?

 

[TheParraboy]

or is it the other way around

 

[TheParraboy]

Tigers on a roll here

show down with Gals sharks at Leichhardt oval next week for the 8th spot

Not according to this ... the games are now set, not to do with highest/lowest winner/loser
