sorry chadley I forgot you always keep the threads on topic...

Where were you when tef and snowman went at it for a few pages or were you to scared to say something?

No no, I was actually enjoying that one as they were having a well based, constructive and meaningful discussion. Yes it was off topic and I'll grant you I do sway from time to time but I really felt you two needed to have a cold shower and settle down. Yours was one of personal abuse whereas Tef and Snowy were merely voicing their opinions and coming up with constructive well meaning arguments.

Just had a look at our draw and it's a horror run home.

The next seven games have us playing four teams above us on the ladder and while the other three are against teams below us, two of those are Manly and the Raiders which as we know are going to be very hard games.
If we happen to scrape into the 8 at seasons end, it will be a bloody good result. Need to win at least four of those seven games while five should see us safely there.

Yeah it is a tough run. This weekend's game is a must win, cannot lose this under any circumstances. Canterbury at Belmore will be super tough followed by NZ in NZ. We do have a good record against them though.

Here's my run home. It's more wishful thinking than anything.
Canberra W
Bulldogs W
Warriors L
Cowboys L
Storm L
Tigers W
Eels W
Manly L

Hopefully we can use the momentum we have and get over the Raiders this week. If we can I think the Dogs will follow. Tigers and Eels will be easy picking so what's left is hopefully us jagging one against the Warriors, Cowboys or Storm. If we can't beat any of them during the season we will struggle in the finals. If we can, I think we will beat Manly come round 26.

I really think it will be more like this:

Canberra W
Bulldogs L - ​Might win this one
Warriors W
Cowboys L
Storm L
Tigers W
Eels W
Manly W

Which isn't good because the teams that we lose to are the ones we will be versing in the finals if we make it.

but we go into the finals on the back of 3 straight wins lol

Need to win 6 games imo, with our F/A im not sure 30 points will cut the mustard

28 points will get a team in with a good F/A, 30 points will definitely be enough regardless of F/A imo. So 5 wins will be enough but I think we can win 6.

This is the final 8 games for the teams that are equal on 20.

Dragons will be lucky to pick up 6 points on there run home - Rabbits, Storm, Knights,Warriors, Broncos, Panthers, Titans & Tigers. Puts them on 26 points

Bulldogs have Eels(could lose this one), Sharks, Roosters, Broncos, Titans, Rabbits, Knights, Warriors. Could see them possibly losing to the Warriors. Puts them anywhere between 26 & 30 points.

Storm have Panthers, Dragons, Tigers, Titans, Sharks(could be due for a loss), Eels, Cowboys & Broncos. Puts them anywhere 28 & 32 points if they beat the Cowboys at home.

Raiders have probably the easiest back end of the season out of the lot, but are only sitting on 18- Facing Sharks, Cowboys, Tigers, Manly, Titans, Panthers and Eels. Make of that what you will

This week against the Raiders is a very important game. Could put us 2 points ahead of the Dragons & 4 points ahead of the Raiders

I know they have a super back line but I cant see Manly getting in, they have just as hard run as us coming home, if not tougher, granted they have 5 home games but they are also 2 wins behind us as well & currently have -50 F&A.

No way Manly is getting in. They have Cowboys, Broncos, Warriors, Roosters, Sharks, Raiders and Eels.

Eels will definitely NOT be easy pickings.
