warriors defence last night was the worst ive ever seen from an nrl team, enough said...

How about the sharks today or the roosters on friday night?

You haven't watched much footy if that's the worse you have seen.

I agree though it was ghastly. The quicker they ship Meli off the better.

Tigers carve up the Sharks and look to be, along with the Dragons, the form side of the comp. How good is Benji Marshall?

Still think the Tigers won't make the playoffs simon?

roosters were dominated by a great side, tigers are hot and trow the ball around, but look at the defence on the priddis try, i mean that was pathetic. the warriors were simply woeful, if you score 34 points you should win a match but that was just simply not good enough..

 

[Burpey]

I thought the Priddis try was a tough, hard-working hooker's try

 

[BoyBrumby]

TBF, with Canberra, Cronulla, Manly & Canterbury all going down it's still touch-and-go for the last couple of spots. Maybe The Warriors (or even The Roosters) could still make it.

As a Dragons fan, results couldn't have gone any better this week. I think the Roosters are a chance but the warriors seem like they are going to miss out

I agree it was terrible.. But I am used to it from the Warriors.. their defense last year was, if you can believe it, worse.

 

[Simon]

warriors defence has been quite good this year which makes last nights effort even worse

 

[Burpey]

Who else reckon the Tigers can make the Top 4, especially with their draw ?

warriors and roosters r gone, only 10 teams can make it now and even the raiders arent looking likely...

Raiders won't make it. Teams like Manly and Sharks don't deserve to be there IMO.

at least one of them will make it!
Manly played quite well today and deserved to win they are the most likely to make it...

Dunno, thought they were ok yesterday. Manly & especially Cronulla seem to have worse probs.

I agree about The Roosters, they just can't buy a try lately, but with The Warriors points diff & the bye on the last weekend you never know.

FWIW on the finals calculator thing on the NRL site I had the 8 as Broncos, Storm, Dragons, Wests, Bulldogs, Eels, Cowboys & Sea Eagles in that order. Warriors miss out in tenth.

 

[Blaze]

One more loss to the Warriors and I will then admit defeat and declear their season over. Until then though I am keeping the faith.

Why don't they deserve it ? They played well at the start of the season and are in a bit of a form slump at the moment.

In contrast, the Dragons and Bulldogs started horribly but now are in really good form. No one is saying thay don't deserve it.

Just beacuse manly and Cronulla are having a rought trot doesn't mean they don't deserve it

 

[Simon]

ur gonna need 30 points to make the 8 and they are on 20, meaning they must win all of their 5 games to make it, how likely have the warriors looked at getting 5 wins in a row?

 

[Blaze]

Yeah but the one that does will be knocked out in the first round anyway.

They don't deserve to be in the finals because IMO they won't come close to beating any of the other sides in the 8 when it comes to the playoffs. I think they should revert back to a 5 team finals series

 

[Burpey]

You only really need 28 pts IMO, as long as you have a decent points diff.

As long as it is still possible I will hold on to that hope.. even though it's highly improbable

I think 28 may do it. & The Warriors do have the best points diff of the teams down there. The Eels & Knights at home they can win, they have the bye, so that means they either need to beat The Storm in Melbourne or (more likely) The Sea Eagles at Brookvale. Can't quite see it, but it's still a chance.
