Premiership Points Table

[Card Shark]

Tigers will be gone by then without Tedesco.

Eels won't beat them, they're too fragile atm...been a long year.

 

[Arnold]

That's my point.

We are only 11 in front on FA aswell so we need to win 2 not just one.

 

[Card Shark]

Yes, we need to win 2 looking at that draw.

 

[roboshark]

Said for weeks that top 2 is no guarantee for us

 

[roboshark]

Looks almost certain that we will be playing canberra now i reckon in 1st week

Up here at least ?

Translation:

'Under the radar' stuff... Why? We are a 'legit' chance! [We] need to get used to being one of the teams that can win it! Being favourite is not an issue...

{Stake Removed/Messiah: "Thanks, bluefox68."}

Can you follow the Messiah around and do this for each post?

 

[Stake Removed]

I feel no one wants to talk the team up, instead being over concerned that this and that could happen, where is belief in your team, believe they will win it

 

[Card Shark]

Agree Messiah.

After winning 15 straight, some from seemingly impossible situations, they have earned more belief than they are getting.

May have been better to be struggling to make the 8 & playing to survive each week, chewing up plenty of juice. Then we'd be playing better footy 3 weeks out from the finals....

As it is now, we might not hit the finals in great form but we will be refreshed. Once there, it's all about attitude & enthusiasm, which we can rediscover if we are mentally rested.

 

[Card Shark]

Up here at least ?

Probably not if we don't win 2 of last 3.

If we win the next 2 we will play Melbourne down there and the loser will play Canberra the winner probably Cowboys I'd imagine. Hmmmmm. Bulldogs have been fairly ordinary all year. Hope we get to play them in the Q Semi.

Yeah that's a possibility.

Although I think manly can beat Melbourne.

That damn dragons effort and the field goal v Titans that hit the post killing me.

I tipped the Eagles to beat the storm.

 

[SharkShocked]

Sorry in what scenario do you have us playing the storm?

Not talking about week 1 are you ?

 

[legend]

The only way the Sharks can play the Storm in week one is if the Sharks finish fourth (or melb finish second and sharks third) and I think that's a mathematical impossibility now isn't it? I think the lowest you can finish is third and considering you play the Storm in the last round, you would have to lose the next two, beat Melbourne and Melbourne lose their remaining games and the Raiders to win out for the Sharks and Storm to meet in the first round of the finals. You would have to be team tree and Melbourne team two to meet in the first round of the finals. Virtually impossible IMO.

 

[SharkShocked]

Sharks can no longer finish anything lower than 3rd after last nights result for the Doggies.

Realistically we are probably looking at 2nd or 3rd in my mind anyway. Purely because i think we are capable of dropping games against the Bunnies or Roosters.

Every possibility we may end up finishing 1st - Storm has a tough ish draw on the way home. Raiders have a weaker draw - but have been up for a few weeks and may also have a let down.

I think the most likely scenario is us facing Canberra week 1 at Allianz.

 

[myrrh ken]

I think he was talking about the final round us v storm.

 

[Stake Removed]

I would not be surprised to see the Eels roll Raiders this weekend, Raiders have just come of there biggest 2 wins of season against the 2 top teams Parra have the side to roll them.

Parra may just lift to beat Ricky

 

[Surely]

No way parra beats raiders

 

[Griffoshark66]

Raiders will carve the Eels up. Supercoach Captain Rapana to score 11 tries.
