Ye Gads! The Bulldogs steamrolled their way through the 1995 playoffs from *checks 1995 table* 6th place.Could this season do a 1995? Two very dominant teams that year in Manly and Canberra. I think both teams only lost 2 games all season. Bulldogs went on a run and pulled their pants down in the finals.
Manly could easily do it. They might have to beat Parra or Souffs in week 2 but that's far from out of the question.I dare say it's hard to see anyone outside those 5 breaking into THAT weekend
I'm not sure they can threaten Melbourne or Penrith, and Souths might have their measure too with their attack, but they are next after that.Manly can and will break into the top 5, likely at the expense of the Roosters. I reckon they’re the only side who can realistically threaten Melbourne and Penriff

This. The only thing that will scare Penrith and Melbourne is Tommy Turbo in full flight. Think Hayne in 2009 but much much better.Penrith v Melbourne grand final only upset if Turbo or Latrell go absolutely mental in the whole finals series. Parra are 2 classes below Penrith and Melbourne and do not have a player like the two mentioned above who can win by themselves. The roosters have lost too many. Everyone else is ordinary to terrible.
