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

[BIKER_DRAGON]

I hear the North Koreans would like to put a line thru this team

 

[_Johnsy]

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

You never know, the bounce back factor. Funnier things have happened.

 

[LESStar58]

What do you think?

Personally I don't think Parra can make the 8, I know if they beat Brisbane today they will move to 15 points, but they are not playing well enough and have had both byes.

Teams below that are basically gone.

Sharks, Tigers, Roosters all have another bye to come, but they are 6 points out of the 8 right now.
Raiders are also 6 points out of the 8, they get a chance to only be 4 points out of the 8 today...but they've had both byes.

I don't know what to make of the Warriors.
They are 3 points out of the 8, have had both of their byes....but the next month of footy for them is horrible. Brisbane, Dogs & Dragons in that month of footy.

They have too much talent to completely write them off I feel at this stage.

Storm

 

[sting]

rabbitohs, tigers and eels are all definitely still in it.

broncos are shot

Johnsy...no...no no no no no. They are gone and to be honest i am not that pissed off. I hope they lose to the sharks this monday at home...cause then it will be the absolute wake up call for all concerned and action can be taken. The club needs a Bulldogs broom thru the place.

In all honesty, IMO Bruno should be one of the first gone.

 

[Mr Saab]

Bruno is a goose. Fining Clinton 50k was laughable. Worst than when the Raiders fined Mullins 25k for pushing that wanker McLinden vs the Eels.

 

[_Johnsy]

He has sent mixed messages continually.

Look at Hunt, Thaiday, Boyd and the action the club took and compare that to Clinton. No wonder there are reports of player dissent.

 

[miccle]

I reckon the Broncos might struggle if we don't beat the Sharks this weekend. Could miss out on a top 6 finish.....

:lol::lol::lol: We've been worse than shot ducks for the past two months. Bring on the losses, I say. Might teach some fans (and players) a bit of humility. Anything to wipe that f**king smile of Hodges' face.

 

[typicalfan]

The Dragons aren't that far ahead of the rest. Parramatta beat Newcastle 40-0 weeks out from the finals in 2001, last year the Storm owned Manly twice, 2003 Roosters smashed the Panthers not far out from the semi finals.

All it takes is one bad day.

They went wrong the second they pumped all their money into a winger instead of their forward pack.

Yep. Dragons are rightful favorites. But any team sitting inside the top 8 at the end of the season has a chance. It's amazing how different teams can play when it's finals footy.

Although it would take a miracle for 8th place to top the Dragons. Wayne Bennett will make sure they don't choke.

I reckon out of those competing for that last spot the Eels would offer the biggest challenge because they wouldn't die wondering.

Tigers, Rabbitohs etc would be cannon fodder.

 

[Sleep]

Outside of Parramatta I don't think any other sides not currently in the top eight can do too much.

Souths have a tough run home and I think the Sea Eagles will almost effectively end the Tigers chances.

Any others are already done. Brisbane, Cronulla, Auckland and etc.

 

[_Johnsy]

They won't beat manly.

so, so, so wrong

 

[Mr Saab]

so, so, so wrong

Certainly not the first or last time that will happen

 

[thommo4pm]

Tigers v Parra in Round 24 is shaping as a make or break game for both clubs.
I have a feeling the loser of that match will be leaving us for the rest of the season, with the winner moving into the 8 and staying there.

 

[Joker's Wild]

Newcastle are gone.

won't win another game.

I hope you have hidden all the sharp objects in your house Macca.

Fire up Emo boy

 

[sando88]

with cowboys and penrith both losing 2nite the top 8 congests further.. should keep fans watching and nervous

 

[Pika]

Newcastle are gone.

won't win another game.

Always solid when the chips are down.

If we were side by side in the trenches with no chance of winning, I would shoot you myself so i could at least have some hope.
