I would call our wins against Manly, the Chooks, Parramatta and the Cows as significant. All those teams were expected to be contenders this year.Bit of a worrying trend developing.
We are 0-4 Vs Teams in the top 8.
We are 7-0 Vs Teams out of the top 8.
We haven’t landed a blow against anyone in the top 8 yet and when it comes to the finals that’s who we play.
Just to refresh our 4 losses are;
Souths (H)18-27
Dolphins (Magic Round)(H) 16-36
Warriors (H) 30-32
Raiders (A) 20-24
All those teams are currently in the top 8.
Our 7 wins are;
Manly (A) 20-14
Roosters (H) 22-12
Newcastle (H) Coffs Harbour) 26-6
Parramatta (A) 30-26
North Queensland (H) 44-6
Bulldogs (A) 33-20
Dragons (A) 40-8
All those teams are currently in the bottom 8.
If we lose to Manly and Roosters, they are actually in the 8….Bit of a worrying trend developing.

So true. Even the Tigers could make the 8, they held their own against Souffs last week and are starting to look like a decent team.If we lose to Manly and Roosters, they are actually in the 8….
If we beat Warriors and Raiders they are outside the 8.
It’s so close it’s ridiculous

In general I hate the byes. They give off an illusion.If the warriors beat the broncos today the top 8 would all be on 16pts. Pending bye additions. Wild.
In general I hate the byes. They give off an illusion.
but in saying that, the flipside to where another side has the bye is: if you win your for and against goes up.
And that will be very important in the final say.
Watch the more attacking plays that come about in the last 5 rounds.
We are. Easy to get a false sense of security. Next bye in Round 17It’s silly some have had 2 before others have had 1. I’m pretty sure we are first to 3.
That’s a brutal run home not only for the travelling and no bye in between those games but only 4 games at home in the last 10.I had a quick look. Pretty sure we are the first team to finish all 3 byes, round 17.
Meaning we finish with 10 straight games.
4 at home
1 in NZ
1 in Perth
1 in Nth QLD
1 in Newcastle
2 in Sydney away
