If I'm not mistaken, anyone outside the top 4 has never won the whole thing. This is AFL and NRL combined

I'm not a fan of our style of play, but as long as we keep the completion rate high & errors low, we can beat any team in the comp.
We don't have halves, but we're getting things done.
As opposed to previous seasons, we aren't giving up when we lose momentum in games.
Toups, Lewy & Fifitas returning at key times. Mixing up the back 5, during games, keeps them fresh.
Beale & Wade won't have the nudie run in the back of their minds.
We currently have momentum leading into finals, and the boys are playing with confidence.
Roosters made 2010 GF after the 2009 Wooden Spoon.
Potential winner, with lowest for/against in history, how Cronulla does than sound.

We're definitely one of the form teams at this stage, if we make the top 4, I rate us a slim chance, if we finish 5th to 8th, we're no chance IMO. Realistically we just don't have the attacking polish to match it with the big teams at the business end of the year, we rely heavily on throwing the best off their game with niggling, relentless pressure and intense defence, when it comes to the biggest games of the year, I don't know if the best will fall for that. In saying that, you never know, this might the year. If it is, the Flanno bandwagon will be in full force. Imagine winning a premiership with Robbo at halfback! I don't think the world would be able to comprehend it.
Next year would be a better bet with the much improved kicking game.

Can a team win a comp on defence alone? No matter how many attacking weapons a team has, if they can't get past out brilliant defence which at the moment is displaying a great deal of composure and discipline, then what good are they?

I said no, but I think we are going to give it a red hot go.
I am blown away by the teams performance last night.

Think we are going to fall flat on our face next week go through the motions the next two then lose to manly, finish in 6th on f/a knocked out first round, think we are going to miss the go forwards of fifitas and possibly taga.

ONG .Stay away from rope and tree branches .
If someone can miraculously teach Robbo a kicking game in the next 4 weeks we will be in with a good chance .
Robbo has a nice passing game hitting his runners on the chest and the rest of his game is sufficient to get the job done .
Yeah a Sharks / Flanno / Robbo GF victory would be amazing .

l give us a chance. Am l right that the big scores against us happened early in the comp. We are tidying things up at the pointy end of the season and that looks good to me.

Dragons showed in 2010 that you can.

You are right about the PD, however, we have won games that not many clubs do, not to mention, right now the only team in the 8 that we havent beaten (yet) is the Storm. We know we CAN beat the Cowboys, Souths, Roosters, Dragons, Dogs etc. We played the Cowboys out of the game last night, and we had a big come from behind win against them earlier this year. We have just blocked the Roosters in our 2 games and we ambushed the Rabbitohs.
On our day we could win anything. But no i dont think we have a premiership in this particular side. I think our kicking options have always been and still are our biggest let down. Last night we had a bad run in our own half, then Robbo went the big kick that went 30 metres and Winterstein got it on the run and made big metres off it. We havent really got that boot to get us out of pressure.
Best reply haha
I voted Yes. thats not to say I think we will, but can we, yes.
I didnt have us down to win any of the last three (maybe warriors after johnson ruled out), but weve aimed up and are in great form, and after last night im really starting to believe.
Weve shown all year we can mix it with the top teams if were on, though agree if roosters, bunnies or storm are also on theyre always going to be hard to beat.
if we can make the 4 and jag a first week win, anything can happen.....As long as we dont have to play Manly :|
