Gees, I'm a Dragons fan and I'm not so sure. The Tigers are in good form, but the Dragons form is really a mystery. Sure they have won 8 in a row, but they have only played twice in the last four weeks and just scraped home against the Knights and Sharks.

 

[Mister Wright]

I really hope it is a Tigers v Cowboys grand final and the Cowboys give sweet revenge to the Tigers. 50+ scoreline.

 

[James90]

Tigers are the first team into the grand-final! Unbelievable!

 

[Blewy]

OH YEAH!!!!!!!!


Who said we couldn't do it????

 

[Buddhmaster]

Oh nooooooooo. I was so confident for the Dragons aswell.

 

[Blewy]

Just in case you missed it...

Im bored so i thought i'd go back through this thread to see some of the comments made over the season...

their halves are going tops, Jason Smith is on fire playing as well as ever and near the top of the dally M's and Lincoln Withers is playing a support role, but doign it brilliantly, they will feature in the last 4 come september...

Hmm Last 4.. Well i guess you were right in a way

Knights will improve, Buderus will come back and they will play 10 times better, they still wont make the 8 though, neither will saints and neither will roosters unless Firman is brought back into first grade...

Well Knights improved out of sight, Rosters missed the 8...

Yeah they are the form side.. it's just 20 or so weeks too early.

On the Broncos early season form... How right he was...

my top 8 predictions at this stage are
1 Broncos
2 Cowboys
3 Storm
4 Sharks
5 Roosters
6 Panthers
7 Bulldogs
8 Manly
with Canberra just outside by a point or 2

a few notable ommissions there.. including 3 of the last 4...

I'm not convinced the Bulldogs will make it into the 8. No Mason or O'Meley for most of the season, that's a lot of go forward they will be without. Not too convinced on the Roosters or the Panthers yet, although I think the Panthers have the best chance of those two to make it. Canberra are going to struggle without Schifcofske for the next month and a half, but if they can get 2 or 3 wins in that period they won't be in as bad of a position. Eels and Dragons will be big chances of making the 8.

Made a few good calls..

Waratah's will probably get Anasta cause they can afford him and they need a new number 10

Nope..

Broncos have to be premiership favourites now. That was a great win against the Dogs.

we were premiership favs before today anyway...

Well, we're even bigger premiership favourites now

Kyle and Simon, getting a bit ahead of themselves

the broncos always end up screwing up at the end of the season. so dont get over excited

hmmmm

Brett Finch must be the biggest ****** in rugby league. He's always throwing his toys out of the cot.

A Truer word never spoken...

warriors lost because they werent good enough, neither side will make the 8 on that showing, Hayne was ordinary, but not as poor as mander was in the sharks vs raiders game...

Bronco commenting on both Warriors and Roosters missing the 8... PERFECT!!!

More soon!!!

Haha good stuff Blewy. I always like reading people's predictions from the past now. Looking forward to more.

As for the Tigers, haven't caught a replay of the game yet (out last night and unable to watch it) and haven't heard what happened but know the final score. I was at a party and when we found out that the Tigers won there were huge cheers etc. I think we are all backing the Tigers in NZ cause of the Benji Marshall and other NZers connection.

You must be wrapped Blewy?

I know everyone goes on about the wests bandwaggon and since the Warriors were eliminated I jumped straight on, however, I have liked the Tigers for awhile. They have been my second team from about this game. I remember watching it and liking the way they were playing. And from that point on I have always followed them as my second side.. not with the same passion as I have for the Warriors but i certainly support them against every other side.

 

[Burpey]

Well done Tigers. They were the much better team on the night. I'll guess us Dragons will just have to wait another 12 months

 

[Clarence]

Cowboys will win the comp ffs.

 

[Burpey]

You being serious. That's a huge call, seeing as they have to overcome Parra and the Magpies to win it. Good luck to them though, I'm cheering for them now

 

[Blewy]

HAHAHAHA Glenn Morrison.... Moved from the Cowboys to Parra, and gets thumped... HAHAHA couldnt happen to a nicer bloke...

 

[Burpey]

Sucked in Parra. If the Dragons were going to lose, at least Parra did as well. Go the Cowboys !!!!

 

[Clarence]

I said at the start of the year the Cowboys would win the comp, only one game left now. Come on boys.

 

[Blewy]

Go The Tigers!!!!

 

[Simon]

Cowboys = your 2005 NRL Premiers, what a win today, if Brisbane cant win it its good that another queensland side will...

 

[Blewy]

Wonderful... Thankyou Simon, Every time you support the opposition i feel 1000 times better...

 

[Craig]

At least now we will have a first time winner with the Cowboys or the Tigers and I can't wait for next Sunday.

I don't know but Tim Smith played today like he never played a game of footy before and was shocking. And I think the Dragons can win the award of most over-rated team in the NRL. Hyped up so much but are yet to deliever.

 

[Blaze]

So now that Simon has tipped the Cowboys the Tigers are a sure bet!
