Grrr.....Simon, ruined the game for me now. Only half time on 9's coverage.

haha well u should be watching it rather than surfing the net

 

[Waughney]

I'd rather do both. Oh well, didn't spoil it too much. Good game.

 

[Simon]

those wests jersey's brought back some memories!
bring back the magpies i say

 

[Blewy]

Was a disgusting performance, handling was ordinary and im disgusted that i stood in the rain and supported it...

unfortunatley your comments about the Maggies jersey were true Si...

 

[Simon]

they played like the magpies of mid ninties didnt they!!!!
how do u rate ur finals hopes now, all year u said tigs, all year i said raiders, and its pretty much a 50/50 between them two now....

 

[Blewy]

Im sure we can still do it but im not saying it with as much confidence after that...

 

[Simon]

Knights wont be a push over and IMO raiders WILL beat souths, so really tigers have to win or its all over red rover....

I agree the Knights wont be a push over, but i also saw a Souths team give a side which is supposedly one of the premiership favourites a very BIG scare...

So i dont think you can say canberra are certainties...

The thing for me is the tigers still have their fate in their own hands...

 

[Simon]

souths just dont play well away from home, but they did perform last night, ill give them that, but raiders will be expected to win....

 

[Mister Wright]

Go the Cowboys! I bet you're glad you didn't take up on that avatar bet there Blewy? Would have been terrible to lose two and draw one for the 2004 season.

 

[Blewy]

Mate im still disgusted with the effort...
Honestly would have thought Meadow Lea or Flora were the Match day sponsors...

Well done to the Cowboys though.. Hopefully we can fightback this weekend...

mate they need to or it could be bye bye to semi finals football. will be a good weekend of footy this weekend, teams trying to cement there spot .

 

[Simon]

how funny is it that sides can still make the 8 with 24 points, makes a mockery of the system u can get in there with 10 wins.....

 

[Simon]

as preciticed ALL YEAR, tigers miss the 8 and the raiders get in, roosters will beat them, but i think raiders will put a solid effort in. twas a good atmosphere at bruce on saturday night, there was a real buzz and raiders turned up, good on em too.....
broncos were hopeless again, but im still hopeful we can offer something in the finals, but its hard to look past a chooks v pups grand final...

 

[thewizard1o1]

Matty Gafa told me the about 4 weeks ago that they would still make it for sure and i told him he was a ****ing idiot. Egg on my face now .

Dragons Vs Dogs grand final (both teams suck )

 

[Simon]

Gafa is a legend, talked to him a few times, a bit shy but seems pretty cool.
on Gafa i was surprised he was dropped to reggies this week, he had a great game though, a try and 7 goals from memory, Bulgarelli scored a hat trick too, they didnt look as good without Carney, but i think the they can make the grand final...

Raiders will struggle without Wiki & Woolford.

Broncos may get past Storm with the home ground advantage, but will need to improve in all aspects of the game & will be worse off without Webb.

I'm tipping an upset with the Cowboys beating the Bulldogs...brave I know, but it is the Cowboy's first finals appearance and they will be fired up. But it is a big stretch to tip the Bulldogs losing in their current form.

 

[nibbs]

hmmm. roosters and bulldogs should do it easy, storm can win, and i think that the dragons will

 

[Simon]

top 4 sides will all win and is bye bye canberra and north queensland with brisbane then playing dragons at aussie stadium on saturday and penrith playing melbourne there on sunday....

 

[Blewy]

I said at the start of the year Dragons were my tip for the title and i still have a feeling that although they have been ordinary they will pull something special out...
Other then them i really can't see anyone out of the roosters bulldogs or Penrith winning it...
