Which teams can we put a line through for 09 realistically?

[murraymob]

With our injury list. You can put a red line through us. Apparently Petero out for 7 weeks. A disaster on top of no Lewis for so long too.

Who the f**k are they kidding. Something must be wrong with the ways things are being run with so many injuries.

And also, Piss off Elliot, we'll never be a success with you as coach. Why did we resign him? 3 seasons of failure coming up I bet and yet he stays on?

to be fair to penrith training staff 3 off our major injuries came when players where on state of origin duty nothing to do with our training staff petro,jennings,lewis

So what if the Dogs or Titans came first and the Knights 8th...would you hate to be them also? As the Knights have beaten them also.

Well yes I guess I would ;-) I just said the Dragons because I am assuming they're going to be no.1 ... as shown in my picks

Moanly's slide starts this weekend - Dogs are the first decent team that they have played for ages. Get on the Dogs - they are specials! Moanly wont make the 8.

I think anyone below canberra are out, Canberra are on the cusp of being out, had they lost to the storm they would be, same again this week against the titans, we need to go on abit of a streak, win 3-4 in a row and get ourselves back in the hunt, any lose over the next few weeks will see the hill get to steep to climb imo

Canberra need to win their next 3 games imo. If we do we're back in the hunt. If we lose one, we'll be 6 points out the 8, to much to do with our run home. Titans (H), Knights (A, but origin week), Panthers (A, good record and panthers sliding)
We're a chance but its slim

Injuries are about the only thing that I won't blame on how our club is being run. It's nothing more then badluck. Michael Jennings and Petero Civoniceva were both injured during State of Origin. Nothing our club can do about that.
.

As was pointed out above, Carl Jennings teams are notorious for having horrendous injury tolls.

It very well may be bad luck, but it gets to a point where co-incidence becomes a bit too frequent.

I think unless the Eels, Tigers & Rabbits all snatch a victory in the last 3 games of this round, the top 8 will remain unchanged. Positions in the 8 will change no doubt.
I have my doubts about the Bunnies given their run home, if the Tigers lose tomorrow they will be 4 points out of the 8 still with 5 games to go....basically gone.

Brisbane are gone.
Canberra, Warriors can't make it,

 

[maple_69]

What's with Penrith picking up Canberra's proven poor performers...Elliott, Jennings, Smith...

I agree we had terrible luck with Origin injuries this year (trend?) but we've had injury tolls of 10+ at one point in the last 3/4 seasons and there is something in that. I think its one thing which is really holding us back from making the leap to the next level because we were certainly building in the first 10 rounds until injuries started hitting.

On topic, things will be a lot clearer after these 3 games this weekend.

This is what I've been saying. Welcome to the light macavity.

 

[Tigers_are_Pro]

Parra and the Tigers can make it.

Come their match in rd 24 I think, the winner of that will make the 8.

 

[BIKER_DRAGON]

Every team except for the Dragons

 

[thommo4pm]

The Bunnies played with a fair bit of courage today....if they can play like that for the remainder of the season they are some hope, as they play a few sides above them on the table.

 

[Timmah]

This is what I've been saying. Welcome to the light macavity.

They'll still finish above your rabble :lol:

 

[caspersparks]

Every team except for the Dragons

your setting yourself up for a big fail...

 

[_Johnsy]

GOOOOONE

Rabbitohs, Tigers, Raiders, Warriors, Sharks, Broncos, Roosters cannot make it IMO.

 

[thommo4pm]

If the Tigers knock off Manly tonight, I'd say they have a very good chance of making it....they have a reasonably good run home compared to some sides above them.

 

[_Johnsy]

They won't beat manly.

 

[Mr Saab]

I think the Broncos still have a chance.....if it was April 1st

you have been saying it since you first became aware of football.... or were dropped on your head... or whatever it was that happened to make you hate us so much.
