So they'll just beat us 20 instead of 40 then.

The Storm will beat us by 20 while playing the Broncos?

Can't rule it out, I suppose.

Lol! But if it's us, I believe we can.

Canberra beating panthers gets us one step closer to 13th!

Let’s go titans!

 

[Woody90]

We’re still breathing….just lol

 

[perverse]

All we need now is the winner of the Broncos/Dolphins game next week to lose their last game, and the Dragons to drop 1 more. And, obviously, win our remaining 2.

So 2 more results to sweat on and the rest is irrelevant from what I can see.

If Dolphins beat broncos next week, we could be playing for 8th vs Dolphins in final round.

 

[Apey]

Probably need Dragons to lose to Raiders. Eels are awful.

We probably want Dolphins to beat Broncos because that way we can knock both of them out of contention by just winning our two games.

 

[Nuke]

That suits me just fine. I can never bring myself to go for Brisbane, no matter the circumstances.

 

[Yosh]

Do we want to make the 8? Limp in and get smashed by 40. AOB celebrates making the 8 and gets another 8 year extension.

+ a $$$ up-grade

he probably already gets bonus for not making bottom 4

I'm assuming the Storm will have the minor premiership comfortably wrapped up by the last round and will rest a bunch.

Interesting development here. Turns out the Storm are resting a bunch of guys this week instead, presumably bringing them back next week before the finals. Suddenly the Broncos path is a lot harder again.

I think Bellyache said in his presser he might rest them both weeks.

Interesting, would be quite a risk to go into the finals having not played for 3 weeks, but I guess we'll see.

 

[Apey]

He will probably alternate resting players. Not convinced Broncos could beat them even if Bellamy rested his spine. Broncos struggled against Parra. Unfortunately Dolphins look like they've given up plus picked up a few injuries so Broncos should win that game. I will laugh if Dolphins can snag that one.

Doesn't make sense to fly their guns to Townsville and back for a meaningless game

 

[Zoidberg]

It’s all coming together nicely.

 

[Haffa]

I don’t see the Dolphins beating anyone on current form. Their depth is being tested to the point that their Q Cup feeders are getting flogged a week before the finals.

 

[Knight Tales]

Parra are actually going to give us a massive swing at the 8 barring a second half self destruct. Dragons are being monstered.

 

[Woody90]

We’ve basically been handed 8th on a platter…so will 100% stuff it up.

If the Dragons and Broncos capitulated as badly as they did I’m horrified to see what we’ll do.
