Ladder Watch

Not 1 of the worst, it was THE worst.

Proof if there ever was any that the Broncos are favoured.

I have seen most teams get screwed throughout the years, but i cannot think of any time a Bennett coached Broncos team, were penalised off the map or all close calls go against them

I only rate our chances very slim to make the top 4 now due to our f/a and soft runs home for teams like the Dragons etc.

Our only hope is taking Souffs place in the top 4. They have the worst run home out of anyone and are in a form slump. (Shame they didn’t drop the match against the Eels).

We don’t have a bad run home now and we do give the Storm a lot of trouble in recent years. Still think the top 4 will go down to the wire.

Probably no coincidence at all but it won't be because of any conspiracy type reasons. It's because the coach has a brain and has worked it to his advantage. Creeping will do the same and i'd say Cleary might as well. Flange?.......mmmmmm

Kent said the same thing on 360. Melbourne are 8 - 0 since the "nitpicking" stopped. Great pickup.

I’m happy that the nit picking stopped.

Not only did that change benefit the Sharks which no one has admitted yet but it was painful Rugby League to watch.

Oh and the nit picking favoured the shit teams and the ladder was quite embarrassing early on. The ladder makes more sense now. The best squads are in the top 8 and the shit is where it should be.

The "shit teams" were actually the ones actually playing attractive football. Now they get smothered which is to the detriment of the sport.

Can’t agree.

They were getting free leg ups with nit picking penalties. Now that they have to actually have a decent forward pack to go forward. Guess what they don’t have the forwards to play footy now.

If you don’t think the likes of Melbourne, Roosters and Souths aren’t playing more attractive footy compared to what the shit teams were producing early on with their leg up gift penalties then I’m sorry we’ll have to beg to differ.

I think Melbourne are the ugliest team that have ever existed. Apart from a bit of exciting play from some wingers and Billy.

Even winning 4 out of the last 5, 5th or 6th is most likely. Plenty of teams could finish on 34 points, and our best chance is to get to 34 on the back of some flogging and have our differential catch up 100+ points.

I don't think this is likely, but is probably our best chance (or win 5 from 5, seems about as likely).

If we win 2 or 3 we will probably get a Sydney final anyway, so not many bad scenarios for us in the finals.

Come.
On.
Doggies.

I think the best we can hope for in this game is that the Dogs don’t get flogged and improve the Donkies F/A by a huge margin.

Hopefully this weekend one or more of the following can happen,

Souths lose to Storm

St.Merge lose to Warriors

Panthers get beat by Raiders.
