The Finals

[Poss]

Dudes. Shit. We have a massive game against cows first. Most on fb are acting like we're already in the GF. Calm your farm.... Cows are a thought team!

What we're not allowed to speculate on who we play "IF WE MAKE IT" ? Seeing it comes down to 2 games to decide it I'm talking about it.

 

[Card Shark]

We are poor favourites - don't need to think we've won by any means.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Cows are favourites with the bookies, 1.75 to our 2.05

 

[Card Shark]

Having said that, we will win easily....well easier than most wins.

 

[bad boy bubby]

We have something else in our favour, Joey picked the Cows.
He is easily the worst tipper going around.

 

[Card Shark]

Conversely to Sterlo.

The reason Joey tips losers is he is a bad gambler...

Joey tips favourites every week.

We will be underdogs next week against the cows and underdogs the following week if we win regardless of who we will play - just the way we like it

I remember that but the one thing I'll say for Joey is he's not like the rest of the commentators who sit on the fence and have two bob each way in a 2 horse race.
Very rare I listen to nines commentary and the main reason is one commentator in particular likes to go on about I said This and I said this would happen.

Think they call it blowing your on trumpet.
Dead set he should be a politician not a commentator.

The media talked up the Panthers all week, also how crap were the bulldogs last week.

 

[Card Shark]

They'll be talking the Cowboys up this week.

The more it goes, the more Cowboys will become unbeatable.

Good for us!

If we want to be realistic there should only be minimum 6 teams fighting out the finals. The rest are just NRL money making games.

if youse come 7th or 8th you don't deserve a chop at winning a comp.

Top 5 for me where the minor premiers get 2 bites to go to GF without prior games is where it's at.

With the Eels salary cap fiasco, didnt 9th best team make the final this year?

Bulldogs are shyte. They didn't deserve to go past week 1. Pretty cool how only the top 4 teams from the table are remaining.

 

[Card Shark]

& that's the way the system should work...best teams all year go further...

 

[eddiesmith]

I would be happy playing the Storm, despite the amount of shit I would cop if we lose, but I reckon unless you are a team who is head and shoulders above everyone else, to me it is often better to play a team you lost to last meeting.

Canberra might be shit but we only just beat them and they would have learnt from that game, we might go in thinking we beat them already, this will be easy. Storm on the other hand we can learn from our mistakes and there definitely wont be any illusions of a win heading in.

Its better that way imo

 

[Don Tweddle]

Taga confirmed back for next week, big in given our lack of prop depth.
