We'll sneak in the 8, I reckon the Warriors will force the Raiders into 9th, apart from that the current top 8 will still be there at the money end

It seems not many share the same optimism as I do.

While I don't think we'll go undefeated on the run home, we don't exactly have a back end with Manly, Souths and Storm to contend with, they all seem beatable.

Can't see us making the top 4. Have to play every game like the second half against Parra and hope that others have form slumps. Somewhere around 6th to 8th I think and there is a real danger we could miss out altogether.

Canberra is away.

7th... Will have a late season slump but sneak in... I think we will be in a lot better shape physically for the finals than last year though!

Squeak into the 8, knocked out first week.

I feel the top 4 are mile ahead of us, I think the Bulldogs and Raiders are playing better than us. Titans are on our level, maybe a step ahead of us. As long as Warriors, Knights, and Panthers don't fire, we're safe.

I honestly think we can make the GF this year, but not win it. It all depends on wether Flanno hurts some feelings and makes a few necessary adjustments. The team shape still isn't right IMO.

I don't really believe that there is a top 4 set in stone, I also don't believe we'll make the top 4.

Melbourne, souths and the roosters will be there but this manly team isn't at the same level imo. Their forward pack is pretty average in comparison to previous years and other teams this year. I think we could bash them out of the game if we were to meet in the finals.

1- rabbitohs
2- storm
3- roosters
4- bulldogs
5- manly
6- sharks
7- canberra
8- titans

I would love to come up against the titans, they're basically us without carney and a slightly inferior forward pack. If that ladder was to occur we'd have a home (sfs/ANZ) semi against the raiders which isn't a good matchup.

I think honestly we should be aiming at making the 8 only.

My prediction is 7th based on what I have seen so far this season and our own patchy form.

We could also be in for more ASADA trouble towards the pointy end of the season, knowing the Australian media, so the pressure may realy turn on us late in the season.

There are a couple of teams in the comp that really are another class again to a good half of the performances we have turned out so far.
Not to mention we desperately need to sort out our outside defence.
