Top 8 already decided

Yes the warriors form - without their arguably top 5 players for most of the season so far in Price, Mannering, Seymour, Luck and Vatuvei - is definitely grounds to disregard their chances of making the top 8.

Good one you f**king muppet.

Penrith into $8 to win the Premiership this morning.

Long way to go, not getting carried away at all after the last 2 seasons where we've started well and faded. This is the best we've started under Elliot but its important to keep the momentum going and beat the Titans without a couple of their stars next week up at Skilled Park, then a bye and hopefully its a positive not a negative.

I'm happy to see Canterbury slowly sneaking up the table, 7th or 8th I think at the moment, can only get better...

Way too early to say anything for certain. I'm loving the Panther's form at the moment but I've known them too long say anything is a certainty.

I hope Titans get a good run this year. Love Meyers' big red beard.

Aside the Dragons and the Titans I don't think any team has really been convincing this year.

Penrith and Manly have shown some good things but still have huge question marks. Tigers are still inconsistent as hell. Roosters are hot one week, ice cold and useless the next.

Parramatta haven't fired at all. The Dogs look completely inept and a shell of the side they were last year.

After that the mix of teams only gets worse.

Who'd have thought parramatta were going to make the 8 at this time last year.

On current form and taking injuries into account, you would have to say that the top 2 sides are going to be the Dragons and the Titans, both whom are winning without some serious personnel. Souths are not far behind them, considering that they've got the likes of Asotasi, Crocker, Ross and a few others to come back...some of their lesser lights look like twice the players they were last year, and Issac Luke is the current form player of the competition with no compare.... Penrith are now back at full strength really, and are playing good football, but they were doing the same last year, until injuries killed them. But they're a good side...Moltzen's injury is immeasurably damaging to the tigers, although Lui's return can ease that somewhat. Manly won't get Brett Stewart back, although I do think it's only a matter of time before we see Hoppa jr get a run.

The roosters real star this year has been Jr Jr, and he's now out for six weeks. Tigers should really do a number on them this week I think.

The raiders are the team that interest me though......They have a few players to come back who will make a remarkable difference. Joel Monaghan is one. Travis Waddell the other. With Monaghan back, the raiders can move Joel Thompson back into the back row. Waddell and Buttriss should really be the hookers for that team. Tongues a good lock.....Terrible dummy half......

Exactly. The Roosters are playing much better football than Penrith.

I'm sorry...but you are a moron.

Who is sitting 2nd on the ladder...and who just monstered the Roosters 2 games ago?

How are they playing much better than a team that smashed them and also is coming 2nd?

I would've been upset if the Panthers lost to a depleted Tigers outfit at home who we have a good record against, and with a few more things going against us, we could've. So not getting carried away.

you can already discount the following sides - they are no chance of making the 8

storm - for obvious reasons
sharks
knights
brisbane
canberra
cowboys

Stupidest post ever.

Based on their rosters, the Sharks are unlikely but still possible. Everybody else has a close to 50-50 chance of making the 8. Except the Storm, obviously, but you never know what legal shenanigans might eventuate between now and the end of the season.

All posts here are.

But some opinions are right and others are wrong. Some opinions are stupid while others are less so.

Just because it's all opinion doesn't mean it's all worth the same.

Anyway, opinions are like arseholes - I'm interested in everybody's.

I hold faith in y boys, but we need to hit form now and keep it for a very long time.

How are the roosters playing better than penrith when they just got smashed by them

Wrong...

Also, I should note that no Roosters fan thinks we're in better form than Penrith. Didgi is insane.

Everyone is entitled to an opinion. An opinion is what they think. Now 2 plus 7 equals 23 is wrong, but in my opinion the Eels should have won the comp in 2005. Thats my point of view, and everyone has their own brains and eyes.
