Well I think the Eels could be the team to beat.
Storm have peaked & wont do anything different or better.

They don't need to do anything different or better, they are heaps better than others atm.

They will be in the GF for sure, unless they happen to meet us 1 week early.

 

[Card Shark]

Eels are this years raiders of last year

They won't win shit.

Hope we play them week 1 of finals.

But not good enough for a team that comes out blazing in the finals. & that is why they have such a poor record in finals. They dont get any better.

The last few years have been decided by who wants it most within the top 4. Souffs hadn't won for ages, Nth Qld a maiden, Sharks a maiden.

The Storm and Eels 'should' have the most hunger. Storm with being bridesmaid last year, coops leaving, cam and billy getting to the end. And eels on the back of last year and the longest drought.

Agree. Storm are Stinging but their game is all about the wrestle. 1 referee can lengthen their pain.

And also the menace kicks for our many trys

So do l

Sharks would be my most comfortable team to play week one and it will be good helping send them out in straight sets

f**k off troll. We'll belt your useless mob, the slimy merkins are just cannon fodder come finals time.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

We are a good chance of playing Parra

 

[roboshark]

The eels have nothing. They have a draw where they play teams that aren't nrl standard

Undeserving finalists if they make it

They are just nrl standard themselves

They have horrible depth.

Light in the front row especially.

Happy to see them pushing for a top 4 spot rather than Manly.

I dont understand what you mean by their draw? HAve you analysed it seen a weakness in it somehow? i.e.. The teams they palce twice are all week?

Sharks are premiers & know how to win finals.

You keep dreamin' though.

They only play Storm, Roosters and Sharks once and they played the Storm with all their rep players out.

As opposed to say us who play the Storm, Roosters and Broncos twice.

Doesn't take rocket science to work out who got the dream draw.

The NRL have always tried to give parramatta a premiership. Even the salary cap fine was too lenient.

Isn't it the same draw we had last year?

You have a great memory Carch.

Yes we had a great draw last year.

 

[roboshark]

They have played dogs twice recently plus south's tigers dragons warriors and storm with no origin players. 2 byes in quick succession

They have knights south's and titans to finish.

The only tome other than Brisbane where they have played the heavyweights in past 6 -8 weeks was roosters and cows and they got pumped

One would say playing the Dogs is not an easy game, even this year. Dragons were coming 2nd, & storm is storm whoever turns up to wrestle.
byes in quick succession is a bad thing IMO
Theyve belted & beaten every team in the top 8 except us.
I cant see the difference in the draw to be honest.
