This is a thread about the wooden spoon. First of all likelihood:
The only other team with a mathematical possibility of getting the spoon is the Raiders. They are on -185. We are on -262. The difference is 77 points. They also are on one more win than us.
Round 25:
Raiders play the Tigers in Canberra 5:30pm Saturday. They are favourites.
Sharks play the Cowboys in Townsville on Monday night. They are $11 outsiders.
Obviously it would take a miracle for the Sharks to win this one and the Raiders are probably going to beat the Tigers. All the Sharks can hope for is to minimise the damage the Cowboys do, and hope the Raiders get flogged somehow.
Round 26:
Sharks play the Tigers 3pm Saturday at Leicchardt.
Raiders play the Eels in Canberra 5:30pm Saturday.
Sharks have a chance against the Tigers. Raiders should get beaten by the Eels.
Basically the points differential is almost impossible to make up in those two rounds. The only real shot is for the Raiders to lose both games and the Sharks to win both. I'd give that a 150:1 chance.
I put the blame for this on Flanagan and his board to be honest. Not having a caretaker coach that wanted to be there is the reason we are getting the spoon imo. There were too many games earlier on that we should have won but didn't due to lack of coaching / preparation.
