Your Top Eight Prediction

[Stuzmeister]

Also Sir Knight82 just looking at your predictions, isn't it still very possible for it to be a Bulldogs V Eels Grand Final. Anyway its more likely now than it was mid season.

 

[Doctor]

1. Storm (44)

2. Bulldogs (40)

3. Dragons (34)
4. Broncos (32)
5. Knights (32)
6. Manly (30)
7. Sharks (30)
8. Eels (30)
9. Cowboys (28)
10. Raiders (28)

Bit of a log-jam as I see it, with us scraping through on percentages and an extra win. It assumes that the Storm continue their success, Eels continue also, that the Cowboys are no longer a premiership threat (unlikely as it is) and that the Knights can win the games that they should realistically win.

I've got the Bulldogs and Dragons to meet in the GF... but it's all guesswork.

11. Sharks 24
12. Panthers 24
13. Roosters 20

I am forever the optimist. Saints lose three, we win all of ours (which could be asking a little too much), we get into the top four

;-) :crazy:

I redid mine today in light of Newcastle's semi-resurgence in form. I have a top eight something like...
1 - Melbourne
2 - Canterbury
3 - Newcastle
4 - St George/Illawarra
5 - Parramatta
6 - Manly
7 - Canberra
8 - Brisbane

I think that's a little unfair on Brisbane's 'slump' though. I actually didn't think I had them losing as many as that.

BTW, why is the LU one still displaying all the way back to Round 17 (and hasn't even updated to include Rounds 20 and 21)

 

[TooheysNew]

Because i'm busy.

 

[Jobdog]

But Brisbane aren't in a slump ;-)

 

[Frederick]

Never have been, never will be ;-)

:lol:

 

[Stuzmeister]

They're not in a slump, they're just crap.
:sarcasm:

"Hey I take offence to the fact most people on these forums seem to think we are in a slump! We just arent executing well and making far too many mistakes. Its a game of inches after all." (Darren Lockyer with his deep cracking voice)

I highlighted the phrase above as over the past 3 weeks, Bennett has said that in the press conference about his team's performances

 

[Dutchy]

Week 1:
Dragons defeated Knights
Sea Eagles defeated Broncos
Bulldogs defeated Sharks
Storm defeated Eels


Week 2:
Dragons defeated Broncos (eliminated)

I know most are sayin Mel V dogs Grand Final... but I dont think that will be the case. Both of them wont be there.. infact I think either of them will be lucky to get there imo.

Melbourne to go through would have to win their 1st semi at home, which they should do, have the week off and play in a GF qualifier against quality opposition.. Pressure may get to them and they may bomb out as in previous seasons, The Dogs would have a tough time as well.. so its not a certainty yet.
