I would like to turn your attention to what you probably already know. Unless the eels slip up somewhere along the line leading up to the finals, this year is going to be rather interesting and go down in history as one of the biggest comebacks in modern rugby league history.
I would also like to turn your attention to another fact. No this is not mere speculation my friends, this is potent stone cold fact which may be hard for many of you to swallow. I don't want to count the Eels before they hatch, but since the Rooster has stopped laying eggs, it is time to get on your hands and knees and cower before the blue and gold army.
Let us run you through why this is the case.
Dragons - The most lethal team in the competition. This is not debatable and they are the benchmark of this year.
Bulldogs - We absolutely dominated them a few weeks ago. They could not penetrate our solid wall of defense, and we repelled numerous sets of six in a row on our own goal line. We held them to single digits and played a decent attacking game of our own. Bulldogs are fading and one of the biggest myths in the competition right now. Whilst I'm sure they can beat many of the hapless teams this year and should not be taken lightly, the Eels are another class above.
Titans - Were lucky to beat us and we sorely missed the Hayne factor. They won only on conversions and this was only just when we started clicking. By no means an easy team to beat, but the Eels are still that one notch ahead of you.
Storm - Do not impress me. We beat you a few weeks ago. Enough said.
Panthers - I don't know what to think of you, but I'm sure we will beat you next week.
Cowboys - Proved their top eight position is a myth last night.
Tigers - Definitely not better.
Sea Eagles - Do not impress. Would be happy to play them tomorrow.
Knights - LOL
Broncos - LOL
Rabbitohs - Better than some of the teams already in the top eight, but honestly... just no.
You can clearly see that the Eels are the form team of the competition alongside the front runners. We may have left is a bit late but it is better late than never.
