Who can we rule out for good?

[Rammo]

I think the only teams currently outside the 8 that could sneak in are Canberra and the Dogs, the rest of the sides are gone for 2005, what do you guys think?

 

[Eels Dude]

I agree, though I don't think Canberra can make it unless they start a huge form turnaround soon. Otherwise 9 will become 8.

 

[ParraDude_Jay]

Raiders are gone, Bulldogs have a slight chance (but no El Masri = no hope) but I think the 8 has been decided, just what position they finish in is all that will change

 

[Hurriflatch]

Considering Storm have 24 pts and a +160

and Canberra have 22 pts but -69 I'd say Canberra are basically gone aswell

The Warriors with 20 pts +9 and a bye in hand are in a better position then Canberra.

Raiders will need a miracle to make the finals. Bulldogs are in the same position but they only have to win their 4 games. The raiders need big scores in their last 4

 

[scottyeel]

Canberra are gone if Smith and Adamson miss any games. If Bulldogs lose next week they will have very little hope either.

 

[A_J_Gray]

Roosters and Warriors Could win all their games (which they wont) and still miss out I feel.
Raiders are in trouble, Dogs will need to win 3\4 I believe. 29 would get you in.

 

[Raider_69]

Canberra are at very long odds
need to win every game from here in and at least 1 by a decent margin

Dogs are just about done and dusted aswell
Roosters and Warriors = GOOOOOOOOOORN

 

[Phillips]

Bulldogs are gone

 

[Rammo]

Bulldogs are gone

hopefully you eat words

 

[Raider Ultra]

Can't see the Raiders making it now, start looking forward to next season

 

[Sun_Down]

Raiders gone, Bulldogs have hope. 8 looks set imo though.

 

[BuffaloRules]

You must admit that its not looking good for the Dogs...

They will have to win at least 3 of the last 4, and when you consider they have been beaten pretty handily by two of the lowest teams in the comp over the last 2 weeks...

Geez...the Roosters will be fired up to beat them in the last round if it comes down to that...

I'm not saying they can't do it, but I don't think I'd be putting any money on them either to make the 8...

 

[Rammo]

that's true, but more than any club ours thrives on adversity, so you cannot rule us out just yet, I must admit it is looking rather grim though.

Cut the siege mentality bullsh*t....yous are gorn.

 

[Saint Doc]

Bulldogs will make the 8...in fact i think they'll come 7th.

 

[innsaneink]

Amazing to think at round 22 a Roosters/Panthers game had virtually no interest and no bearing on the finals, when last year they finshed 1st & 4th in minor prem.

 

[lockyno1]

Here are the run home for teams placed 6-10

EAGLES 26pts (-24pd)

Knights (Away)
Sharks (Away)
Warriors (home)
Raiders (Away)

SHARKS 26pts (-36pd)

Roosters (Away)
Eagles (home)
Knights (Away)
Rabbitohs (Home)

STORM 24pts (160 pd)

Warriors (home)
Bye
Tigers (home)
Cowboys (Away)

BULLDOGS 23pts (-52 pd)

Eels (Away)
Tigers (Away)
Panthers (Home)
Roosters (Away)

Raiders 22pts (-69pd)

Rabbitohs (Home)
Cowboys (Away)
Eels (Away)
Sea Eagles (Home)

I just can't see either of the Dogs/Raiders breaking the 8. They would have to win every game. The Dogs MAY be able to drop 1, but the Raiders can't!

 

[Raider_69]

Pretty well summed up, although i dont like our chances im clinging to the small ray of hope that might see us jag a spot

 

[lotti]

Knights but you wouldn't know it by the way they've been playing.
