[Chimp]

We play the Roosters in the GF on my NRL Ladder predictor (granted filled in with rose tinted glasses).

Lose to Roosters week 1
Beat Dragons week 2
Beat Storm week 3
Roosters V Sharks GF

Im tinking it all depends on Injuries ,Judiciary Cancelling !,referees and bunker calls ( not suggesting any bias - heaven forbid !)Strom, Chooks and Panties Biggest threats. Chooks Full strength But surely Fitz Knows some of their secrets-- ? Panters? I think they are beatable ,even full strength. Strom ... Would be one hell of a game . Fitz V best coach of modern era . But also Most scrutinized team of Modern era .

 

[dinghydi]

Oh Yeah .. I almost forgot Gus Goulds under the radar Canterburry Bull frogs. They apparently got a good Wraslin g Coach and now they win the contact and the ruck . meh ! Smash the feckers and see how well they wrastle . Interesting U tube on Mr Perfect V Stefen Segal . Mr P saw him at airport and stuck hand out in respect for his movies etc . Segal attempted to squeeze kurt hennigs hand Hennig Squeezed Harder .. Segal tried to turn his hand for an Aikido grip .. Hennig turned his hand back and brought him to his knees . We mightened have Mr Perfect But we do have some tough MFs

Ha ha - yes, I realised that you may have been asking for feedback on the composition of the 8, rather than the results of the games!

Not sure, but I just want us to be Top 4…

 

[Ozzi_78]

Looking close to what I predicted but knights to take the last spot?

on a side note… who else thinks the sharks are absolutely shitting themselves, in particular Nicho?

I have no confidence we win a semi final this year either. Unless Fitz has been foxing big time I see bang bang.

There's no expectation on them, so they shouldn't shit themselves

 

[R-15-3]

We haven’t fielded our top 17 all year, barring any injuries tomorrow we will have our top 20 guys available.
We have shown we can lift and go to another level at times.
If we can do that for 80min each week and with so many top teams now struggling with injuries we could really make a big dent in the finals.
Few moths ago I had us out in straight sets but we have a bunch of guys that are playing their best footy of the year right now. Iro, Ramien, Braily, Rudolph, Kafusi, Nikora if the rest can play to their potential we have a chance.

 

[Craigshark]

If nicho can find his early season form and we stay injury free, we will do well. It needs to start with a win tomorrow to head in with some confidence.

 

[Frenzy.]

With a few games to go in the final round, here's a mind bender

Titans beat Panthers
Sharks beat Beagles

equals

Storms vs Panther
Rooster vs Shark

Panther and Storms bashing the shit out of each other is very appealing

We f**ked it last week otherwise this was a chance. Titans won’t beat Penrith

Yep. That's what makes it so frustrating. Flufsters will tell you it didn't matter as we'll get fourth regardless. I think it's the difference between having a realistic run at a GF and going out in straight sets. Melbourne will carve up whoever finishes 4th.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Off to Melbourne. f**k.

 

[Eion]

That’s ok. Rank outsiders. It suits us

 

[Craigshark]

Off to Melbourne. f**k.

it is what it is.. had we won last week and then again tomorrow, it would have been Penrith at home. Going off the last couple of years, that would have been almost as bad

 

[Ozzi_78]

That’s fair. But ideally I would have wanted roosters

 

[Poss]

So who do we play week two?

 

[Ozzi_78]

Winner of Dogs and Knight or Dolphins

So dogs likely. Packed Accor probably. Whole nrl behind dogs. Yep
