This thread isn’t needed.

We have the all time great Grand Final thread from 2016 stickied.

How good was 2016 just quietly.

Totally agree...twice

I think we have definitely ended up on the "harder" side of the draw.

If we get close, we've done well.

Im not so sure. If roosters & Storm are 1 & 2 I don't think there is a way where we play both before the grand final.

If souths knock off Roosters we do, and that's assuming storm beat canberra

Im probably a little senile so I like detailed explanations . Pictures and diagrams help as well. "When you put it like "heart says" one it does sound possible... but then again we have to get over the seeegulls first ..some say you come6,7 or 8th you dont deserve it But if the team that came first can't beat the team that came 6,7 or eighth at the business end of the season, they dont deserve it. Id be ecstatically happy if we were to knock em off

 

[bubs]

Nah, we need Canberra to beat Melbourne, so we dont play in Melbourne in round 3.
We'll play Canberra in Sydney (ANZ /SCG will be their home ground for that match).
We should have beaten Canberra twice this year.

 

[ghoti]

Wild that there's a semi-realistic path to the grand final for us. Manly should be a win, if we can't beat them we didn't deserve to be in the 8 (hint: we don't deserve to be there we've been shit since Origin). We can beat Melbourne, should have beat Canberra twice, can knock of South's...Roosters are the only one I'm not sure we know how to beat.

 

[carinashark]

Canberra can beat Melbourne but they would have to be at full strength. I actually think we can beat Melbourne with what we have minus Woods and Moylan. The last two have way to many missed tackles and dropped ball between them. Playing in the grand final with Moylan would make me very nervous.

Hang on, do melbourne get a home prelim semi if they lose?

 

[coolumsharkie]

Yeah I think they do

 

[glenmoresharkie]

Yep our road if we beat Manly will be probably the harder one. If we’re gonna get to the GF we’ll have definitely earned it.

I am pretty sure the game would be in Canberra. Regional and interstate teams got the benefit to host.
Hence, we played Melbourne in Melbourne last year.

 

[Defer to the coifed]

The perfect draw to glory for us is ;

Week 1
St V Ra = RA @melbourne
Ro V Bun = Ro @Sydney Knight
Sh V Eag = Sh @Broook
Eel V Bro = Eel @Sydney

Week 2
St V Eel = St @melbourne
Sh V Bun = Sh @ Syd

Week 3
Sh V Ra = Sh @ Canberra
St V Ro = Ro @ Melbourne

GF = Sharks V Roosters

We had that last year too & we finished top 4.

Just missed beating the roosters - would’ve levelled up if Lewis didn’t drop the ball over the line.

We need massive improvement if we are to win past this week & next + take our f**king chances!

In this situation, I don't believe Canberra is classified as an interstate team for this round of the finals.
Gold Coast, Brisbane, Townsville, Auckland and Melbourne are. Canberra is not.

If Canberra lose then they will play in Canberra week 2, but I dont think they play there in Round 3 if they win in Melbourne.
