Next 5 games (17 - 21)

[bluefox68]

I will wait til this block of 5 is complete before I do a complete “Run Home” thread but for the sake of the exercise I did the ladder predictor.

I completed this with honest opinions on who I think will win and by how many for each of the remaining games.

Here is how it finished up…

Panthers play:
Raiders
Storm
Rabbitohs
Cowboys

Without Clearasil and The Cat, I can see them losing some games…

I had Cowboys winning one more than you which kept us 3rd

But it’s not impossible, Panthers at home without Cleary they’d probably start favourites. The hope is Roosters and South’s away can get the points and maybe the Pennies pull off an upset. Or we beat Manly and really keep the pressure on.

But it’s going to come down to them finishing 2nd entirely because of the Clowns blatant match fixing.

 

[shaggs]

I ended up with this top 8

 

[Tiger Shark]

Roosters missing out would be amazing

This time last year we were doing this to make the 8, prior years too.

Now we’re doing it to see if we come 2nd!

Much more enjoyable

And looking at our squad next year and the other “top” squads most of them get weaker particularly Penrith, Eels and Storm. So hopefully we can stick around for a bit

 

[Ozzi_78]

Yeah I was a bit generous to the panthers. Probably wanted them to beat some teams we need to lose.

Nah no way the Cowboys win their next 5 matches with the schedule they have and their current form.

 

[bad boy bubby]

My top 8 ended up being an NRL dream weekend for the first week of the finals.
5 x Sydney teams, 3 x Qld teams*
A few derby's

*Melbourne, that's in Qld.

If we jag 2nd would we get it at Shark park or would it be the SFS? Big if...

It’d have to be SFS - Shark Park capacity of 11,000 is too few people…

Probably. Both Penrith and cows look shakey at the moment

 

[Big Bloke]

I think if we do finish top 2, Fitzy would have to be in serious consideration as Coach of the Year wouldn't he?

If they take Cleary out of the equation i daresay that its between Fitz and Payten right now, with Payten in front.
Likening to 2016, even though Storm were MP's, Canberra finished the regular season in 2nd, us 3rd. They gave it to Sticky.

 

[Ozzi_78]

Rookie year I reckon it’s Fitz prize if he was to finish Infront of Angry Toddy.

 

[Mr Angry]

Payten, his team ran no where last year.

Kevin may get a mention, Fitz has done great.

Payten for mine.

 

[Tiger Shark]

If we jag 2nd would we get it at Shark park or would it be the SFS? Big if...

It would be the SFS - no way the NRL would let us have it at home. Then again it would mean basically no away supporters would be able to get tickets.

Depends what they value most

The performance of a coach in his first year but factoring in how that team did the year before

Or the improvement a team makes between season.

Can go both ways imo but for mine if we come 2nd it's has to be Fitzy, that's not only a big improvement but also his first year of coaching.

Cowboys were only 3 wins behind us last year, so they weren't that far behind us.

Youse did real good the other night, loved the grind against those arrogant pricks.
As much as it pains the crap out of me to say it, I'd back you to win in 23 or 24 based on the way you are building...

Wow you must really hate Souffs to pay us any dues.

Mitchell going off like they'd gone through to the GF after the try off the grubber just cemented it further. Walker is one of the most detestable players in the game on top of that...

Have to agree with you on all accounts.
