[Collingwood Storm]

i guess its a good thing finals are played on turf

 

[Raiders Plight]

not much in it... I'm not 100% sure of injury status,

but with e.g., Gidley, Mullen, Carney, Johns, Abraham, Simpson, Buderus, Perry shock, Smith etc Newcastle deserve a mention

as do
MacKinnon, Burt, Hayne, Smith (x2 or 3), Wagon, Morrison, Hindmarsh,Marsh, PIG, Cayless... (Tahu?)

I could mention Manly, but they are Manly so they can get f**ked

the only squad that doesn't impress me on paper is Canberra,

we do well for such a crap team on paper, imagine if we had a "good" team on paper, we wouldn't lose a game

Eels: Grothe, Hindmarsh, T. Smith, Widders and Riddell.

Lol you highlighted 3 that arent even rep standard. T Smith, Widders and Riddell are far from the better names on paper.

Id have Tahu, Cayless, PJ Marsh, before those guys..

I didn't say they were crap - but on paper, they are the least impressive of the top 8, and less impressive than several squads that missed the 8 - but paper doesn't count, except the results section on Mondays

I'll be amazed if they beat the dogs, even without Asotasi, Tonga and Maitua - but then I'm amazed they've made the 8... hopefully Elliott can instill their attitude in the Panthers team next year
