There is only one team left who can beat easts

The Roosters would belt the Dogs by no less than 20. The only teams that can beat the Roosters are the other 3 teams who finished in the top 4.

Roosters will be sitting back relaxing and nursing their bruises for the next fortnight....not worrying about the next Dogs clash...which will be 2014.

If Knights don't stop Dogs, Storm most surely will.

I don't think Manly losing by 4 disqualifies them from being able to beat the Roosters. That game could have gone either way with one piece of luck or freak skill.

I think the Sharks are the worry tbh. They looked horrible against the Cowboys but they're the side outside the top 4 that have the most wins over teams inside the top 4.

Manly are hard to judge, they've dominated possession and field position over the other top 3 in recent games. But they've also looked panicky and desperate in attack. Manly look like a side who could win it all (which makes sense as they did just two years ago) but have no idea how to go about doing so. Without Stewart or not, being kept to nil is embarrassing for any team.

I worry about Sharks too. They have the forwards to overcome the rest of the teams up the middle, and Carney to direct them. His injury will dictate how far they go. They play a good grinding style of football that could take them all the way

Manly tried but have an impotent attack ruined by nongs such as Watmong and Stewart

Souffs got big game jitters and were rolled

Melbourne don't have the forwards to match them

Knights...well their year is about to finish

Sharks don't have the creative players to crack easts

That only leaves one team. I'm not going to state the obvious and say who...but both times when we lost to them we were not playing near a full team

It will be third time lucky as we extract revenge on SBW

Cheers,

You won't be good enough to get a chance to play easts genius.
