Personally I'm happy with any top four finish given the expectations earlier in the year.

I came up with:

Dragons: 38 points
Titans: 38 points
Storm: 37 points
Dogs: 36 points
Sea Eagles: 34 points
Cowboys: 30 points
Knights: 30 points
Broncos: 30 points

Panthers: 28 points
Warriors: 25 points

*has anyone noticed on NRL ladder predictor, they have given Dragons and Knights 3 byes each.

Has a team ever won more games in a season and lost the minor premiership (excluding the Dogs salary cap issue)?

if tigers can beat nth qld today than we are in with a shot esp with Galloway and heighnington due back soon and the easy run we have coming up

IMO

The only teams who can fight their way into the 8, that are outside the top 8 as of now are souths and brisbane.

Souths have - Roosters, Bulldogs, Manly, Titans, Panthers, Dragons, Sharks. Won't make it.

I'd actually go so far to say that realistically Brisbane are the only side who can force their way in, and on current form it won't happen. However they will return to some type of form and qualify.

Brisbane have - Titans, Raiders, Sharks, Panthers, Dragons, Cowboys, Raiders.

I revisited the ladder predictor and came up with

Dragons
Bulldogs
Storm
Knights
Titans
Manly
Broncos
Cowboys

Illawarra 44
Canterbury-Bankstown 36
Newcastle 36
Gold Coast 36
Melbourne 35
North Queensland 30
Manly-Warringah 26
Cronulla-Sutherland 26

Gold Coast v Melbourne - Gold Coast
Newcastle v Nth Qld - Newcastle
Canterbury-Bankstown v Manly-Warringah - Manly
Illawarra v Cronulla-Sutherland - Illawarra

Manly-Warringah v Melbourne - Melbourne
Gold Coast v Canterbury-Bankstown - Gold Coast

Newcastle v Gold Coast - Gold Coast
Illawarra v Melbourne - Illawarra

Illawarra v Gold Coast - Gold Coast

 

[Timmah]

Illawarra :lol:

F**k me Sharks fans are pathetic...

 

[_Johnsy]

Illawarra :lol:

F**k me Sharks fans are pathetic...

Strangely enough that attitude mirrors everything their club has given the NRL this year. Sweet FA

Updated (and slighty more realistic) predictions:

Dragons 42
Bulldogs 40
Storm 35
Sea Eagles 34

Titans 34
Cowboys 30
Panthers 29
Eels 29

Knights 28
Rabbitohs 25
Raiders 24
Tigers 22
Broncos 22
Warriors 20
Sharks 16
Roosters 16

Edit: Just realised the bottom 4 positions on this ladder are all teams that competed in the 2008 finals :crazy:

I revisited the ladder predictor, again, and came up with.

Dragons
Bulldogs
Sea Eagles
Titans
Storm
Knights
Cowboys
Panthers

I think those teams are set in stone, just the order/finishes may change.

had the exact same top 8 ecept titans and eagles switched and knights and cowboys switched.
had eels win 7 in a row and still not make the 8. they need to win 8 games in a row which means beat the titans in last round

 

[Apey]

what games are you nutters tipping Knights to win :lol:

keep playing like we have been and we'll be lucky to score tries..

[petetheileet]

I notice a lot of ppl have the dogs winning every game for the rest of the season, yet 90% of you think the dragons will loose one or even two of their final matches...

thought it was a lil strange we play panthers, then every other team is outa the top 8

any reasons for this?

are we gna throw a game??
