Way to go Knights. Dragons shouldnt have lost that game. We leave this round equal with them. Never expected that. Now we just need to match them for wins and beat them when we play.

Thought the knights might be due for a win!

 

[umina panther]

They are awful. Its a MASSIVE choke that should end Griffin's time here if we dont make it now

 

[OldPanther]

The Knights just gave us a massive leg up.

 

[billypilgrimnz]

Ha, good on you Dragons. Always knew you had it in you.

After the Raiders game,the commentry were flapping about Canberra's chances...slim at that.Then I had a look at their next game....V Sharks away.

 

[herbert henry1908]

Roosters helped us too.

2/3 results going our way really. Even broncos losing isn't that bad given their run.

Hopefully storm can get up against Manly.

We could easily miss the finals... we could also reach the top 4. Only 2 wins behind Broncos and while our F/A is inferior, its not that far off.

I doubt we win enough to make the top 4. But its crazy that we can still do so.

I had to wash my mouth out after cheering on the Roosters to beat the Cowboys!!

Eels are safe now... this was their hardest game and they won it convincingly

Souths. Knights. Bulldogs... should be 3 easy wins. Titans and Broncos again also winnable. Eels win 3 or 4 more IMO. Might drop one easy win and grab a hard win instead.

I'm not convinced the Eels won't have trouble with the Dogs, and the Broncos in Brisbane will be a different proposition you'd have to think. The Titans also have to be beaten. Still, they'd have to have the king of all chokes to miss out now.

But its crazy that we can still do so

As it turned out, we got most of the good teams in a clump early in the season when we weren't yet settled. Easts, Storm, Sharks, Eels and Broncos from round 3 to 9, and lost them all. It made things look worse than they really were.

We are very fortunate not to be getting any of these sides again now although Eels or Broncos at home we'd be a show of winning.

We have had the kindest possible draw.

Is this like the third time we've rushed him back only for him to injure himself again almost right away?

They did it twice and the third time he came back through reserve grade.

 

[Tronald Crump]

Thanks Newcastle.

Hearing JFH is out with reoccurrence of his shoulder injury

Explains why he only played 28 minutes the other night. Too early for Carty to start we may see Leota back in the 13 next week.

They've got both last year's Grand Finalists away. They are gone. Doesn't mean they won't give us headaches though. Still I'd rather be playing them than the Storm or Sharks.

I wouldn't call it rushed back this time. You gotta feel sorry for the bloke.

With how the draw falls now we have it fully within our control to finish 6th by knocking off Manly, Cows and Drags. I struggle to see Brisbane/Eels dropping two games more than us though.
