Almost halfway mark in the Comp and some interesting insights of how the draw really favoured us this season.

I think at this point of the season we now know the teams who are going to be battling it out for the top 4 ,who is shyte and occupying the bottom and who cares about the middle of the ladder.

The top 7 on the ladder and most likely the teams who have a chance of competing for a top 4 spot are Penrith, Melbourne, Cowboys, Cronulla, Parramatta, Broncos and Roosters.

The Roosters and Storm play 5 of the top teams twice. (Got totally screwed)

The Panthers, Broncos, and Eels play 4 of the top teams twice.

The Cowboys play 3 of the top teams twice.

The Sharks unbelievably play 1 of the top teams twice.

The clear bottom 5 of the ladder is Warriors, Tigers, Titans, Bulldogs and knights.

Sharks are the only ones to play them all twice!

Cowboys play 4 out of the 5 twice.

The Broncos, Parramatta and Penrith play 3 out of the 5 twice.

The Roosters and Storm only play 1 of the bottom 5 teams twice. (Again totally screwed)

So if we don’t make the top 4 this season with that sort of draw then there’s seriously something wrong. We got kissed on the ass twice at both ends of the draw.

Also the last round of the season Roosters Vs South’s traditionally very physical brutal clash for both sides. Parramatta Vs Storm and Cowboys Vs Penrith. Semi Finals come early for those teams whilst we play Newcastle who by that round will be preparing their end of season trip.

Never seen a draw favour us so much. So happy that it looks like it really screws the Storm and Roosters.

hmm have to disagree here.. I just think it's unfair that Storm and Penrith got to play everyone below them on the ladder all year round. Tough draw on the dogs too, no wonder Baz left early
