Look, I may be jumping the gun a little & the semi's is a different ball game but what the hell. The blokes on the footy show gave a prediction on who will play in the GF this year. I'll start by saying it will be a Parra v broncs or Parra v Cowboys GF

anythings possible.

i'm with u stiff, they're definitely a front runner im my rose coloured eyes. what i think is the best facet of the eels game atm is their patience and composure, especially in games against the top teams. That has to be an essential quality come finals time. they havent looked pressured at all, or and even appeard to be pushing to hard in recent weeks.

noone can doubt their try scoring ability, and lately their defence has been fantastic. combine all that with the ability to control a game that they'd have to be a shot against any team.

most weeks there's a period in the second half where they dont try anything spectacular. simple one out hitups, even an average kick down the throat of the winger/fullback but they still maintain the dominance with great kick chase and solid defence. dictating terms to the opposion without trying to hard.

its just great to watch.
and what makes it even all the more sweeter is having a few poor recent seasons. you definitely need the bad times to appreciate the good times.

I'm loving it that Gus is still writing us off (following Daley writing us off earlier in the week). He said we're not true premiership contenders but will beat a number of teams who think they are.

oh I don't know...We were talking about what position we would finish in back in February... and there has been heaps of talk about Smithy's head ....sooo this isn't too far from the mark Stiffy.
In my opinion the way the semis is set up it is unlikely that the two best teams will meet in the GF.It never seems to happen that way.

I still believe it will be a Brisbane vs North Queensland GF.. however if Parra do make it i believe we'll play the Saints or North Queensland

If we miss the GF stiffy I'm going to find you and beat you with your own arms..... after I've removed them from their sockets. ;-)

Premature though I think we will give the comp a fair shake. I'm not getting to far ahead of myself just yet though as there is a lot of time between now and the October long weekend.
