Just the ones that act like d**kheads

Nah seems to happen all the time. A team wins a lot, fans seem to hate them more. Saw it with Sydney FC in the A-League recently for example. Some players in the Penrith team’s attitude doesnt help them though.

Penriths attitude is pretty bad, rather arrogant. They are close to turning into the next & new Melbourne Storm.

They’ll probably be happy to hear you say that. 😉
Melbourne has been the bench mark for soooo many years.
I’d like us to strive for that tier (but with a little bit of humbleness)

So who out of the bottom 8 is going to make their way into the 8?

I’m not sure any of them will

Tend to agree, though it could be easy to go on a run and get in. Just not sure who.

Though these wins the Tigers are getting over the Eels and Souths, and Dragons beating the Roosters are very very helpful for us. Helps us cement our spot in the 8 and takes assumed wins off those teams.

I can only think possible Dragons, Titans or Raiders. These 3 teams have played OK in patches. Raiders especially are a debacle at the moment so will need to pull their finger out.

I think the 8 will stay as is, it’s now just the jostling of positions within the 8, so important for F/A to either make top 4 or home semi.
We cannot give up cheap points when we are giving it to a side cause we put the cue in the rack or get complacent & cocky.

Only ones I could see dropping from the 8 are the Cowboys (that's assuming that the Rabbits and Roosters eventually get it together). They have had a soft draw, but even then, are playing better then the bottom 8 teams.

Top 4 is more interesting, with probably 2 spots open.

On another note, it's nice to see the prime time (Friday night) magic round slot has gone to the Broncos... wouldn't want to play Storm/Panthers there :rolleyes:

Wait, what?
You mean the Broncos are playing on a Friday night, prime time for all of their sponsors and maximum exposure???
How unusual. 😆
we got slops! early game Sunday against the Raiders.

Should make them play last - and incentivises them to ensure ground conditions are pristine…

Titans are an absolute mess atm. I think if this continues Holbrook will be very close to getting the boot.
