Looking back at the bottom 8

[Rhino_NQ]

With Hunt & Graham next year I'd expect us to.

keep dufty firing at the back, swap dugan for a centre that can pass, tie mcrone to a rocket and shoot him at the moon, what could go wrong?

Oh yeah mary

 

[King hit]

The Titans deserve the spoon a lot more than Newcastle at least the Knights showed improvement and put in a top effort every week. You can't say that about the Gold Coast.

 

[Vee]

Did you like the bit about Gagai having to play well for the Knights next year

Broncos fans seem to know less about other Rugby League clubs then any other fanbase.

I saw it. A small error in an otherwise good summary.

They deserve many spoons


Even more of the bares take over

I think IBM's tribute to the bottom half is about spot on At least someone has thought about the peasants.

Yes I actually enjoyed it!
And LOL@Tigers finishing 6th, no.
Oh Tedescos a 'hog' now...but wait...isnt he going to retire the best fullback ever?

I think Newcastle will improve immensely and MAYBE Canberra if the attitude changes.

I thought it was a pretty good summary.

Careful, you're not allowed to think for yourself on here.

I don't see Newie vastly improved, they've bought a mixed bag and still lack leaders.

Lol@Wests Tigers...........

Lol@Wests Tigers...........

Mate, Souths won 2 more games than wests this year. It's hardly something you should gloat over considering how little you rate them.

How do you think they'll fare next season? TKe off the tiger dislike glasses and give me an honest assessment

 

[Vic Mackey]

The Tigers had the season from hell this year. Everything that could go wrong did plus more.

They played round 26 missing 12, yes 12, of their best side from the start of the year.

They played the second most top 8 sides out of anyone this year and had over $1mil of their cap playing elsewhere.

Every player improved under Cleary and now he'll have a full off season with a team he wants.

In the last 8 rounds they played 6 top 8 sides yet from those 8 weeks have a positive points differential.

There are only positives looking to season 2018 for tigers fans. I really struggle to see how anyone thinks we won't be better then this year. I can't wait.

 

[WaznTheGreat]

Top 8 means nothing,only top 4 finish is an achievement,other 12 teams are losers.

 

[hellteam]

I don't think the Gold Coast are in a worse situation than the Knights end of 2016.

They have a decent squad. Newcastle probably had 15+ out of their 25 man squad that shouldn't have been anywhere near NRL at the time.

Gold Coast have a lot to sort out, but they were competitive a lot of the time this year. They beat the Storm from memory. They were good before Hayne last year with a similar squad. Cut Hayne and I think they'll be back on track.

I actually think they have the most improvement in them next year from the bottom 6 or so teams.

8th shouldn't play in a grand final

Peter Sterling has long complained about top 8, and wants to go back to top 5.

 

[Das Gupta]

surely warriors have to put something together soon?

Peter Sterling also said that Kieran Foran will forever be an eels icon, nobody would remember his time at manly

He is the most important buy in the history of Parramatta

I don't remember anyone having a problem with the eels making the Grand final in 2009. It was a exciting Cinderella story with Jarryd Hayne carrying the Eels on his back. Never has came close to that form again, although teams defenses probably have concentrated more on him after that season.

Imo dragons tanked to drop manly out because they couldn't run with us, but Bennett forget how to start the engine again

 

[macavity]

joel Edwards will lead you to greatness

They have Robbie Rochow to ably assist him now too

 

[Willie Ray]

We don't care what he does now he's going to Souffs

Souffs have been looking for a tackle shy winger since Merritt retired,Gags will fill that spot easy.
