It is gunna come down to the last weekend. Those writing off the Tiges might look a bit glum by season end. I have written them off all year. Hence my low standing in my picking comp. They seem to perform each week. Benji is in good form. His type of player still has their detractors (see above).
Para, has the "Hayne Train" left its trip too late? Maybe. But they are a chance. Gold Coast seem to be floundering now. The Bunnies? Late loss to St George, but they are going OK. I tip them to beat the Warriors at home next week, but my form is ordinary.
Much to my delight, I reckon the Warriors might be doing a Para in 2009. With their run home and form, together with players coming back from injury, they should, I repeat should get in the 8 at least from here at least. They need only 3 wins from 7 and one game against Cronulla.
With 7 rounds to play and a maximum of 14 points, 30 points is the general indicator for getting into the 8.
Bulldogs, are on 16, so need 7 from 7? Its a bridge too far isn't it. Canberra on 18, they need 6 from 7.
My pick for the premiership a few weeks back was Penrith. They now look about as sick as my challenge to win my footy picking comp..........
Only cert is St George and the Tiges. Probably Penrith. Broncos form is pretty good. Manly should make it.
