top 8?

[carcharias]

realistically will this be enough to get in the 8? I think a week after SOO we can take the panthers. With a couple of big teams at home for a win plus a couple of pay back games e.g dog's and drags plus two byes up our sleeves I think we'll be right.

broncos (a) loss
raiders (a)* loss
panthers (h) win
bye
knights (a) * loss
warriors (h) win
bulldogs(h) win ?
dragons (a) win
broncos (h) win ?
rorters (a) loss
eels (h) win
bye
storm (h) win
cowboys (a) win

Tough schedule. I think that by the time we get down to the crunch we'll need results to go our way for us to squeeze into the eight. Still, it's a tight competition and anything can happen. I'd like to imagine we'd still be able to grind our way into the top six come seasons end. Who knows....?

There is no use being in the top 8 if we can't beat those sort of sides at Shark Park, so yeah, why not.

 

[andrew flap]

Given we have no byes so far is a good thing too. That's four points we're owed

The Broncos will be a good test this weekend of how we will fare if we do make the 8 at finals time when it counts.

A bit of luck with injuries could see us through. Dropping that game against Souths (and a few others we should have won ) a while back may come back to bite us on the bum later. Hope not though.

Naah.....We always get flogged up here no matter how good we're travelling #-o

 

[andrew flap]

yeah, but they are carrying a few wounded at the moment and we are (just)starting to hit our straps a bit. OK, not that hard but, it's improving.

My head says no, my heart says yes but, my point remains that it will be a good test. The Boncos are pretty sure to make the finals and one way or another we gotta beat them or someone who has beaten them to go ahead.

 

[Rieck_Fan]

Don't totally agree with all those predicted results but I think we'll just make it into the top 8.

I think we'll need 12 wins to make the eight, so that's only six wins from our last 12. I reckon we're every chance if we keep on improving and don't get many injuries.

 

[andrew flap]

No responsibility taken for the accuracy. Subject to injuries and suspensions (Chris Beattie and Phil Bailey, I'm looking at you )

broncos (a) win (50/50 bet given their injuries)
raiders (a) win
panthers (h) win
bye
knights (a) win ( yes I think so, too)
warriors (h) win
bulldogs(h) loss (goal kicking will catch us out, Kimmorley V EL Masri)
dragons (a) win ( WIN stadium is just a piece of grass like all others)
broncos (h) win
Rat rooters (a) loss ( no chance anywhere, God I hate them so much)
eels (h) win
bye
storm (h) win
cowboys (a) win ( they'll fold like always )

Are you guys sure we play the Drag Queens at WIN? I have a feeling we meet them at Okely Dokely Stadium.

 

[coolumsharkie]

From nrl.com draw:

Dragons v Sharks
Round 20
23, 24, 25 July
Oki Jubilee Stadium

I think the last time we played the gooners there was 1999, we BELTED them, and the ferals booed their players off, spitting, pouring beer and god-only-knows what else on them as they went down the tunnel...it was really poor.

Bring it on in 2004!

bring 'em on I say :twisted: :evil: :x

Actually the last time we played them there was last year. Let's move on...

Was there in 99 it was about 300C in the little cauldron. What a fine day, a fine day. I am sure if they had locked the gates at the end the St Putrid's would have eaten each other and we would not have to worry about their stench.

The 8.
For and against will have to adressed or were no hope. Its so even from 3-13 that it could be the decider. What a shocker if we beat sides above us, have a real shot but can't get in or play in Brisbane because of for and against.

Drop your heads and get belted is worth 1 1/2 losses.

 

[Craigshark]

I am pretty sure we should get in to the Top 8, the only thing that could stop us is our For and Against..
