The big chatter this round is Ivan Cleary and the Panthers.

It's unbelievable that Penrith have made a play for him with four rounds to go in the regular season. The Tigers are still in the hunt for a finals spot too. It's fascinating to see how both the Panthers and Tigers go this weekend, considering all the talk around their head coaches.

Tonight's game is usually sensational, Cowboys v Broncos. It could still be a thriller, but with less riding on the result as compared to recent years. It looks a bit like JT's last hurrah, the last big game he'll play at top level.

Bunnies v Chooks tomorrow night at the Olympic Stadium is another GF preview. Two sides coming home strong, and two genuinely big forward packs going at each other. Although, Souths would have the edge in that area.

Storm v Sharks, it's always good.

Sea Eagles at home to the Dogs. Two sides playing for pride, and also the Spoon. It's a knife-edge in that regard, still four sides with a chance of 'winning' it. At the start of the season, would we have predicted the Eels, Cows, Dogs and Eagles to be the 'little four'?

I hope the Knights don't think they're still in with a finals chance, or Ponga wants to impress his relatives in NZ too much.

Usually it's us who cops the sacked coach or similarly motivated outfit...the most notable being the dirty f**king Storm in 2010 belting us with an illegal squad and a BS siege mentality. I seem to recall a few others, but not the details. A lot of word out of Sydney says the Titans will get belted by a Panthers side now allowed off the chain.

Raiders to win on Sunday and lock in the 8 truly and squarely, after we beat the Knights (by a very small margin).

Eels to not win another game and get the spoon.

This decoy runner has just got stupid again.
Rule change mid season.
JT2 clearly would have had more of a chance to get there if Sims hadn't hit his outside shoulder.
Can't trust the bunker.

55m kick was impressive by Feldt, but there was a Pom that did it over in the super league last week and might have been slightly longer?

Another great result for the Warriors with the Cowboys getting up. If we win, we'll go ahead of the Broncos and probably get over them in F/A too. Hopefully the Storm get over the Sharks (and you'd think they would) and we could end up on 6th at the end of this round.

Has Hurrell improved any since leaving the Warriors? Seems to swing wildly between better than average and bewilderingly crap
