Race for top 2

[Ozzi_78]

Wanted this a seperate thread because I noticed next weeks draw is in our favour.

Obviously Cowboys have a tough ask because South Sydney in Sydney but the timing is perfect. Sharks play dogs at 5:30 followed by the cowboys game. Pressure on them straight after our win (probable).

The following week we play after they play Penrith so we will know what we need to do.

Last night set us up big time.

Really want 2nd. Smash the cowboys down here in sydney for a week off.

agree. Huge difference between playing them here or up there.

South’s will be up for this too because the Roosters play the Storm before hand. They’ll want to win because they play the Roosters last round and potentially week 1 of finals.

So they’ll want to win to get them home ground advantage I’d imagine. As little as it is

I’m here for this kind of info! Nice TS

Around the time of posting the last "Next 5 Games" thread I had last night pencilled in as a loss (as I'm sure most of us did).

The win puts us in the box seat now.
I think the Rabbitohs will handle the Cows comfortably next week, so all we need to do is retain our composure. Something which seems less foreign under the Fitz regime.

Very interesting 2 rounds coming with most top teams against each other.

Intriguing

Cowboys, Rabbits, Eels, Storm and Roosters all get bashed 2 weeks in a row going into the semis

 

[DJDL]

Yes I've been quietly thinking the same to myself for a couple of weeks now.
It's going to be on pharquing tough month of footy for some of them.

Hoping they start to run out of juice before we meet whoever we meet come week 2 and 3 of the semis.

I'm glad we play the Dogs, they are starting to become a good side and will test us which is what we will need coming into a semi final. Not sure what Fitz will do against Newy, interesting scenario we have. It's been a great year for us so far, whatever happens from here on in.

Doubt he's sure yet. Still water to go under the bridge. He will take it seriously though, no matter who is named to play. He's going to have respect for their Old Boys Day.

It's all rigged. The NRL want the GF to be the Batlle of '67!

Dogs got better this year BUT it’s obvious the teams playing for nothing lack motivation to stick the body on the line in defence. Talakai back hopefully will score a double. Big boopers up front continue the red hot form hopefully and we roll through them. Don’t need to rack up a score, just another cruisey win with no injuries or suspensions

I had us in for a win so you can all thank me now

I didn't.

Here's my losing bet from the game

 

[spirit of league]

Cows v Bunnies will be instructive; who’s the real deal? I don’t really rate either but I’d have my money on Souths. Interested to see how this one pans out.

Whoever wins, I’ll be cheering for the physios & MRC

U watch Souths roll over

Shit club

Lots to be played out but
If the Storm beat the Roosters and the Cowboys were to beat the Bunnies, one (Roosters or Bunnies) will likely miss the finals.
Both will be on 28 points going into the last round and they play each other. Canberra are very poor, but I do expect they will win their final two games and finish on 30. I am no fan of Canberra but wouldn't mind seeing either Roosters or Souths miss out.
Whereas want the Cowboys to lose at least one, but if the Bunnies do beat them next week, they will receive all the favours against a Panthers team resting lots of players.

 

[Ozzi_78]

It likely won’t matter, if cows lose to south’s it’s out of their hands.

 

[2012....Sharks Year]

I doubt the cows get past the bunnies next week in Sydney. Much better option if we get to play them in Sydney.
