In your head, rent free
just watched the replay of this game

it kind of went exactly how i expected it to, without the bite

i thought we would be sluggish and start slow due to last week, start slow, pick up a bit and then win off the back of a mistake from them

didnt think we would be able to win by 30 again because of the legs on the players and the fact they didnt train much this week

but the criticism about the sharks before about not beating the teams they should i think is done now, we need a big scalp or 2 in the back end of the season

I think I heard we've only played 4 top 8 teams this year for no wins.

I thought manly was in the top 8 at the time we played them, could be wrong. That should count I think...

I can't find the ladder at the end of rd 6 but they were on 4 wins which was the same as Melbourne and Canberra. So I think they would have been in the 8 at the time.

And if they were then it defn should count.

We did only lose by few points to Souths, Melb and Parra. Could well have beaten them all. Whilst we aren't at the level we should be to win any comps its not inconceivable that we can actually beat a few of the top 8 sides running into the finals.

Panthers/Knights/Roosters/Raiders. I can see us winning 2-3 of those.
