Api cops the RTS sin bin

It's raining again too and a miserable night for Tigers fans, they're yet to score.

26-0...

...LOL, now they'r down to 11 players! Api and Doueihi in the bin. 32-0. Actually, it's not really funny, we like the Tigers.

They score a late one. 40-6, Roosters. Final.

Chooks getting it done comfortably but the cows contributed to the mid table logjam with their win

 

[Beavers Headgear]

The table has probably sorted itself out to where it should be. The top 4 are the top 4, albeit with the Sharks having a slight question mark, and below them it is week in week out a tough game with a bit of luck and injuries here and there deciding the results

Have been watching since 1991, and I’m sure I can’t recall seasons as wet as this one and last year, just seems to be relentless rain on the weekend, go back 30 years and they would have been playing in mudpits every week

I've just noticed that the last four games from this round had the losing side all scoring six points. Freaky!

Rd 17 Ladder:

It's disappointing from our point of view and we just can't lose from here on in! Wests have slipped back to last and Melbourne look the goods.

The amount of water around is too much, although, as others have mentioned, we do have dry spells.

1991, as we've discussed, was perhaps league's greatest season. From memory, TV2 did the Friday night slot? And it was Channel 10 giving the feed.

I see plenty of change between spots 5 and 14 by the end of the season though. Two wins separate those sides and there’s 10 rounds to go. Any one of those sides could go on a streak and lock in 5th or 6th, conversely none of them are safe.

We probably need 5 more wins to make the 8 I reckon. Possibly 4, but that’d really be scraping it. One thing in our favour is we still have two byes in hand, including in the final round, so that’s 4 points automatically in that period.
the fact that there’s no easy beats this year is pulling the cutoff for the 8 down a bit because there’s more points going to the bottom sides- but that’s being countered somewhat by the top sides regularly dropping games to mid table teams too.

It's a pretty decent run home, if you're intending on making a run to the finals.

5th, 12th, 17th, 16th, 6th, 9th, 5th, 3rd plus a couple of byes. Only thing is, that only 3 of the 8 are at home (not that we've been that sparkling at home, but still).

Huge game into the bye this week, as it was against the Panthers and Dolphins last time out.

Is it weird to feel quietly confident in our team?
Yes, it's now or never against the Doggies.
Besides a victory I would love it if someone dispensable would uppercut Mahoney for all fans of the NRL.
He gets the "Tough Competitor" tag instead of "Cheap Grub"

It's weird when we got belted 66-6 9 days ago, yes

Can't believe what I heard on NRL tonight!
FMD, they aren't even hiding their bias against us now!

It isn’t a bias against the Warriors, it’s more that the token diversity card in Badger has to be backed

13 wins will guarantees you a top 8 spot (32 points) according to the "experts"
We need 6 wins from 8 (33points)
The draw we had may allow us to have 5 wins (31points) depending on Manly for and against.

31 could do it anyway. It really depends on what the teams at the very top and bottom of the table do, the more games they win the more points it sucks away from the mid table and brings the entry threshold down.

Yea spot on. The NRL would rather be accused of incompetency or even favouritism than sexism. Its a minefield of their own making but the teams on the end of her decisions are the ones suffering for it.
