Doggys-Storm Grand Final for mine.

Happy with the Warriors end of season run, especially beating the Storm at the graveyard!
It really shatters me to know that had the Warriors kept their 4 points at the start of the season they would have been in the top 8

we've been through that, they cheated and were lucky to get away with only a 4 point penalty...

oh, and a Broncos vs Raiders grand final for mine. if Raiders dont get there, maybe Dragons....

 

[Craig]

Wouldn't that just be a perfect situation for you then!

Good to see someone has confiedence it raiders even if it was sarcastic

 

[Simon]

i genuinely think the raiders can get there. They can beat the bulldogs next week and would then have a game in sydney in week 2 against Manly or Dragons. Anything can happen if they play like they have today, even if it is against the sharks they are starting to look good.

 

[BoyBrumby]

Seriously can't see them beating the Dogs.

Broncos win tomorrow & they could be playing St George @ Suncorp in week one, unless Manly get absolutely belted by Melbourne later or The Dragons run up a cricket score versus the Chooks.

 

[Simon]

if Raiders win by enough and Dragons lose by enough they can be 6th. I think it needs to be 68 points. Raiders lead by 20 at the moment and if they can win by 40 Roosters could beat Dragons by 28 and Raiders will be 6th...

nothing is set in stone except Melbourne will come 1st and 98% certain Eels will be 8th.

Two early tries for the Sharks; the wobble starts here!

U gotta be kidding me that the Raiders will make the final. that's quite funny.

Stranger things have happened, there is a reason they are 50/1 but it only takes a bit of luck to stay alive in this comp...

 

[BoyBrumby]

Canberra: can choke.

 

[Simon]

pretty poor second half from them...
Dragons dont seem to be doing much better either!

I reckon that's the end for Raper at the Sharks. The latest word is that Brian McLennan is being lined up by the Sharks and the Roosters.

Looks very fair. Merritt might get a look in on the wing tho. Fair effort to top the try scoring list with a team coming last by lots.

& If you're gonna give Hayne rookie OTY for half a season, JT might be a shout for coach too.

 

[dontcloseyoureyes]

Bellamy for Coach of the Year, IMO.

dont think Merritt can get it, you need to take into account the ammount of tries he conceeded, which is a lot!

Taylor did a good job but he wont get coach of the year, Hayne almost wins by default in the rookie of the year category. Theres really no one else except Luke Douglas, Darius Boyd and Matthew Cross

Ricky Stuart WILL be the Sharks coach in 2007, it's almost a certainty...

Stosic? However you spell it. Admittedly Cronulla losing ten on the skid won't have helped his chances.
