Who is/isn't finals bound.

[Kiki]

poor parra. so much talent...whats happened to them? i mean despite from being drastically overweight.

 

[Bobby DIGital]

After tomorrow night when Marc Herbert stands up for the Raiders and says "hey Todd Carney you can chill for a minute, I got this"....we shall be finals bound. We gotta win by 15 points and we'll go past the Titties.

 

[Kiki]

Losing to the Cowboys and losing by 12 to the Bulldogs.

That's pretty embarassing.

As I said, let's see how the rest of the year goes for you guys.

Embarrassing? No, not at all, this was before the Cowboys injury crisis and I openly admit the loss to the Dogs was one of our worst performances of the past 3 years

:lol: And us for us being "average"... Geez that makes the Titans, Roosters and Eagles look bad doesn't it nuff-nuff

 

[_Johnsy]

Massive game this week, probably wont live up to my expectations, but Knights v Parra, the loser can say goodbye for 2008. That will be Parra me thinks.

My tips are:
Manly V Penrith
Storm V Titans
Sharks v Dragons
Cowboys V Roosters
Rabbitohs V Warriors
Tigers V Bulldogs
Broncs V Raiders
Knights V Eels

 

[Rovelli]

Panthers and Titans down by 20+ at the moment in their games.

Sharks/Dragons is a crunch game

Roosters should take care of business; so should us, but we'll have a tougher job

Tigers should beat the Dogs, but they aren't playing great.

Broncos/Raiders is a big game.

I can agree that the loser of the Knights/Eels match can almost say goodbye to 2008; four points outside the top-8 with a host of non-top-8 teams still ahead of them.

 

[_Johnsy]

Still no clearer, next weeks games should go some way to determining the 8.

Tips
DRAGONS V Tigers
MANLY V Storm
SHARKS v Rabbitohs
Bulldogs v COWBOYS
Warriors v BRONCOS
RAIDERS V Panthers
ROOSTERS V Eels
TITANS V Knights

Knights win by 13+ tomorrow and we'll be in the 8.

Also we'll beat the Titans.

I was 50-50 on this game, could not decide. I think there will be no more than 4 in it, Titans season depends on this, and at home. Could well be game of the round.

 

[Apey]

Yep if Knights win tomorrow we hit up the 8 and I think we'll have a good chance of knocking off the Titans... but who knows.

 

[The Tax Man]

Storm
Eagles
Broncos
Roosters
Sharks
Tigers
Raiders
Dragons

This is the way I think it will finish. Broncos and Storm wont lose another game from here. Titans wont win any more, and the Panthers and Dragons will only win two.

 

[The Gambler]

Storm
Eagles
Broncos
Roosters
Sharks
Tigers
Raiders
Dragons

 

[miccle]

Top 4 well and truly home and hosed.

Still an mathmatic chance of the Broncos not making the finals, but IMO it's more likely that they'd actually finish minor premiers! Will be there, but will need decent form and a bit of luck to crack the top four.

f**king great contest for 6th, 7th and 8th forming though. Think the Titans are pretty much out of it, but jeeez it's going to be tight with Parra, Newcastle, Tigers, Panthers, Raiders and Warriors battling it out. Can't wait!

Anyone been able to find a ladder predictor yet?

Coming soon, should have been one available at least from round 20 IMO.

Aren't we nearly finished round 21?

 

[choc_soldier]

I fear Penrith will fade away and drop out of the 8. No finals footy again this year.

Agreed.
Skilled Park has been a fortress for the Titans and the fans won't be happy about them falling out of the 8.
The Tits haven't stopped trying all year,they've got their *ss kicked yes but the intensity is still there and if they get some of their stars back they'll be looking for a big one.
And the crowd will get right behind it.

Storm
Eagles
Broncos
Roosters
Sharks
Tigers
Raiders

I agree with this,except I think Manly will get the minor premiership and I think Penrith will feature someone(probably instead of the Tigers).
Either way,whoever breaks away from the pack and gets into those lower 8 spots,is probably just making the numbers.
The intensity of the upper 8(with the exception of the Roosters) is just too different.

 

[perverse]

please, keep writing us off. we're flying under the radar at the moment... which is just the way the club would want it.

this week against the tits will be a real test... but if we win, are people going to continue to death ride us?
