I have no effing idea who finishes under 3rd tho
10 points left
most contenders play each other in these final 5 weeks so it could be anyone of the
Storm , Broncos , Parra, Roosters or Souths , but at the same time the hellish run in for a few of those sides could equally have them dumped out completely
Manly are a club divided , can't polish that turd . Its events off the field that have cruelled their season & this & their tough draw will see them miss out IMO.
The Raiders sitting pretty with a candy draw , but their rep for shitting the bed is legendary & only time will tell if Stick can get them to focus on the job at hand & take that spot .. 7th or 8th.
It’s all set for a thrilling end to the season that’s for sure… It looked like a 2 horse or even 1 horse race, but there’s a few massive changes;
Panthers - obviously the favourites, by a long way, but origin has shown the way to beat them, backed up by the Eels - the Panthers struggle when teams decide to dominate them physically. Nathan and Luai missing a few could help them, but could also derail them
Storm - Injuries appear to be cruelling them, but they’re the storm. They’re my 2nd favourites (after the Sharks of course)
Cowboys - kissed on the dick by a fairy with their draw, can beat anyone on their day; but don’t see them beating 4 good teams in a row as they’d have to in finals footy
Broncs - Not this year
Eels - Could do it, if they turn up, at their best, 4 weeks in a row, they get the biscuits… but much higher likelihood of beating someone like Storm in week 1 and getting knocked out by Broncs in week 2….
Roosters/Souths - both more than capable of going on a run to the big dance
Sharks - won’t lose again until 2023! (But equally may get beaten by both the Tigers and the Dogs in the last 5 rounds)
Time for people to predict their winners and why…..
