Interesting round next week

[Gaba]

If the bulldogs beat the panthers next week, that means the dragons ,dogs and titans could get a 3 point break from the 4th team

22, dragons,titans if bulldogs win 22, with the dragons in the box seat with a bye in hand

19 storm


Without thurston i think the roosters will beat the cowboys,

Broncos against the sharks you have to favour sharks,
the tigers should beat the storm

 

[kia ora storm]

The Tigers should beat the Storm...at Olympic Park ??.

 

[Gaba]

Yep since the storm will be depleted, if the tigers cant win that game then LOL

 

[Ausguy]

are you that certain the tigers wont win kia?

you do know none of your origin players will be playing dont you.

What, all 4 of them. :roll:

 

[markieboy]

What, all 4 of them. :roll:

hehe - it's funny cause it's true!

 

[Danish]

What, all 4 of them. :roll:

Kind of an important 4, wouldn't you say?

 

[nathanbrown'sghost]

Kind of an important 4, wouldn't you say?

Agreed, take the best four out of any team and the outcome is hard to predict. Origin time throws up some upsets.

Tigers will be without Farah. Storm by a million.

 

[Evenflow]

Tigers will be without Farah. Storm by a million.

I'm surprised it took so long for someone to mention that. The 4 drizzle players will be offset by the loss of Farah for the Tiges. Yes, it's 4 players to 1 but being at OP and the massive difference Farah make to his team it evens it right up IMO.

Brisbane will most likely beat the Sharks, can't see them playing so poorly 3 weeks in a row.
Yes I know they will be without quite a few players, but they should have enough to over come the Sharks if they are going to be serious threats in this comp.
They will move to 20.

The Top 3 sides though will have a 6 point break on the teams at the bottom of the 8.
I can't see Penrith beating the Dogs, so they will remain on 16.

The Dragons, Titans and Dogs will all be on 22 next week, and realistically will only be 6 points away from a top 8 spot guaranteed. I think 8th place will be on 28 points.

 

[kia ora storm]

The Storm game will be close but they can still win this..they really only lose Smith out of the forward pack.

 

[_Johnsy]

I am 90% sure Melbourne will end up in the top 4.

 

[Gaba]

Tigers will be without Farah. Storm by a million.

The tigers didnt play that badly against the broncos without farrar, and i think th storm will miss the skill of the players missing.
Plus they are team where the players are the ones to come up with the plans as they run onto the field, they dont have the coach or assistance coach to do plans

 

[Jobdog]

Next week:

IF:

* Roosters beat Cowboys without Thurston
* Bulldogs beat Panthers
* Sharks beat Broncos

The Knights will jump from 8th to 5th without playing a game :crazy:

If none of the above happen, I guess we just stay 8th

 

[Marshall_magic]

We good also be without Galloway in Melbourne (through injury), and you could argue he is of origin level. We've never won down there, and I can't see us doing so without Farah or Galloway.

 

[Ausguy]

What, all 4 of them. :roll:

Yes all 4 of them. You are kidding arent you? :roll:

 

[MsStorm]

Might be 5 if White gets picked for NSW

 

[GB!]

manly will be in the top 8 after this weeks rounds

 

[Butters]

Might be 5 if White gets picked for NSW

I hope for our sake he doesn't, he's been playing great guns this year.

We could even be without Hoffman who has really stepped up in the past few rounds.

If those 2 don't play that'd leave us with a pack of:

Lima
Hinchcliffe
Blair
Koopu
Cross
Manu

Which is still a pretty mean looking pack. So in saying all that Melbourne will beat the Tigpies by atleast 18.
