Business End Of The Season

[Card Shark]

I said highest placed winners. If we lost then the team that did win won't play Melbourne as they both go through to prelim finals

Sorry, I missed that.

If the top 8 ends up as it is today, then:

Week 1:

GAME 1 - 1. Melbourne vs. 4. Bulldogs
GAME 2 - 2. Sharks vs. 3. Cowboys
GAME 3 - 5. Raiders vs. 8. Warriors
GAME 4 - 6. Broncos vs. 7. Titans

Week 2:

GAME 5 - Loser GAME 1 (Bulldogs?) vs. Winner GAME 3 (Raiders?)
GAME 6 - Loser GAME 2 (Cowboys?) vs. Winner GAME 4 (Broncos?)

Week 3:

GAME 7 - Winner GAME 1 (Melbourne?) vs. Winner GAME 6 (Cowboys?)
GAME 8 - Winner GAME 2 (Sharks?) vs. Winner GAME 5 (Bulldogs?)

Week 4:

GF - Winner GAME 7 (Melbourne?) vs. Winner GAME 8 (Sharks?)

That is how it would end up if all the higher-placed teams won...

Or, you can look at the FINALS PREDICTOR on nrl.com...

We have all these teams covered, this is our year.

Have a look at our players 1-7 each of them is dangerous ball in hand can score or set up tries, Barba has teams terrified.

Our Forwards each of them can hit in defence, all make yardage and each of them can bust the line and offload, you cannot go up one on one with them, we are looking to offload.

Bench, When they come on they slot in straight into position and do the same job.

From 1-17 we are dangerous across the board add to that Leutele/Brown fit into squad and are just as dangerous.

Our spine is the best in the comp, the self belief is there as well.

Storm are structured no add lib in them basically, Flanno has us with plan but also allows the players to play whats in front of them, thats how we will win the comp.

Finally we have players across the board that can score no weak links, all potent all matchwinners.

The biggest danger is round 26 against Storm i dont trust Bellamy we have to be careful with our players i would play the NSW cup team against Melbourne i fear injury in that match

Missed my point. Is it possible that we play neither Storm nor Cows until the GF should we get there. i.e Storm play Cows for a spot and we play say Bulldogs after facing Say Canberra in the QF?

I wasn't necessarily trying to answer the question... I just had some time, so just did the 'projection' on nrl.com.

I just don't want us to lose early in the finals, as I think this will spook us...

By the way, Raiders are in the top 4, displacing Bulldogs...

If Storm win week 1, and we lose to Cowboys, then:
We play Broncos (if they win week 1) and then:
Melbourne in Week 3.

I don't like the sound of that...

 

[Arnold]

Dont overthink it. Too much still to happen.

We know we need to win week 1 that's all we need to focus on at this point. Not even the rest of the rounds. We will be 1/2.

 

[southland]

Where the hell are the Raiders getting all of these quality forwards from? Priest and Bateman both looked good at the expense of Fensim and Vaughn.

Tomorrow's game deserved FTA.

Originally it was down for 3pm Saturday...so they "upgrade" it to Monday night.

 

[bluefox68]

Oh yeah, but Fatty & 'Chief' like watching Manly & Newcastle, and it was a GF back when they hated Super League (20 years ago), so that makes it 'compulsory viewing' for everybody, apparently...

 

[shadowboxer]

I heard yesterday on 2GB that the last 6 rounds TV were selected using yes 2015 as a guide, and that its channel 9 who do selection, this wont change till 2018 when NRL take control of the TV, even then i cant see us getting a fair go,

 

[Card Shark]

We finished 5th in 2015, yet got 0 Friday night games.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Happy Birfffday for yesterday comrade.

Cheers comrade
It was actually Thursday mate, but the too many beers occurred yesterday.

I am starting the think we can do it this year if we stay injury free. Watched a lot of games this season and can see how well rounded our squad is. My only wish that didn't come true this season is I would have loved to have the 2 Fafita's in the squad come finals time. I had hoped David would have been developed into a permanent bench forward for us by now . I probably like all of us would have loved to have literally a clone of Fafita coming on fresh of the bench and just just ripping in and carrying defenders with him.
