Will we make the 8?

Maybe the sharks and rabbits are still playing good but we are just playing better? Just saying.. But if we were say 6th we would be called premiership contenders with the form we are in. But because we have been sitting outside the 8 the media never says how good our form is, they say how bad our opposition were.

On the game plan they said if we made the 8 we would be cannon fodder, but rated the tigers as a premiership chance.. IMO we are in much better form than the tigers.

All these dicks can say what they want about our chances. I dont mind flying under the radar. We may get noticed if we make the 8 and win our first finals game.

We knew results would most likely need to fall our way in addition to our extremely difficult run home. Our mentality is perfect at present. We worry about each game and what will be will be. You get the delusional West Tigers as a counterpoint. Have been crap most of the year and still mention premiership as their aim. They are arrogant beyond any sense of reason. I think Tim Sheens overindulges their egos. Tigers have played touch footy for a decade under him. It has worked once.

I never had us winning that game anyway so now it just comes down to winning the last two obviously. The -22 hit our points differential took today doesn't help though.

Pretty much this. I had this in mind as a loss but certainly didn't have a - 22 to our differential in mind... #-o

Left the run too late. Too many soft losses early in the season

Also, this.

This.

May as well lock the thread now.

Raiders and Titans will take 7th and 8th with a piss easy run home

Piss easy?

Canberra have Bulldogs at home then Warriors away. Loss + possible loss if Warriors get their act together.

Titans have Penrith away then Manly at home. Likely win + likely Loss.

Its likely that both teams will finish on 28 where For and Against will come into it.

Tigers more likely to fall into 8 with Roosters then Melbourne, again they will be on 28 points but with a much better For and Against.

We need to ensure we are in the mix by winning our last two and putting on some points to get in front of the Tigers on F/A.

Over the last month the titans and raiders have had it easy.

Broncos have manly and panthers.
We did em a favor by injuring the manly players today.
Still think they'll finish on 28, but have a far better f/a

Nope we wont make it.
This, very important. Everyone talks about the end of season and as important as that is, you just cant lose 'should have been win' games like we did at the start of the season.

Well basically Tigers are our only hope. They have Storm and Roosters... but we have to win both our games and catch their differential.

Yeah I'm thinking we'll finish 9th or 10th, lol.

I still maintain we're far more likely to win our next premiership before you do :)

We have a good win against the Cowboys I'd back us to make the 8. Raiders to lose against Warriors, Tigers lose to Storm. We beat the Rabbitohs on OBD - finals :)
