Media would be loving a Dogs vs Chooks grand final plus NRL would love it as the crowd numbers would be record or near record breaking once (funny every time a record at ANZ is set wer seem to feature haha) plus if we do make the final and verse the Roosters beating them will be the best thing ever to happen this year.

 

[The DoggFather]

We will beat the jewsters 16-13

 

[Bulldogz82]

I wouldn't mind that run at all, avoid roosters in the semis, im confident of beating South's and broncs as we have the last month and revenge will be sweet for ennis and his sharks, as long as you get to the gf its anyone's game, favourites don't always win the gfs

 

[Interestingg]

This would be a dream run

 

[Chris Harding]

Possible. Roosters will be hard to beat. I can see the Cowboys and Bunnies bowing out in straight sets - they have run out of juice.

 

[Bulldogz82]

Unfortunately for the bunnies they have only 1 set and there out lol but with you on cowboys, I think they peaked for too long and don't look the goods anymore

 

[Freakzilla]

Hasler has never lost the game before the GF so hopefully we play the Broncos then instead of the GF where Bennett has never lost.

Pretty daunting task playing the donkeys at Bumcorp

Pretty daunting task playing the donkeys at Bumcorp

Yeah tough game but our forwards should be able to take care of theirs.

 

[habs]

I have us finishing 5th which arguably offers a saloon passage to the prelim provided 4th lose.

 

[Izzy Forreal]

Grand-Final:

1. Roosters vs 5. Bulldogs

And the same winner we saw in 2004. Yee Haa!

 

[rainman]

That looks relatively soft draws for both teams
I like it

 

[Wolfmother]

I predict a premiership to a team outside the top 4 this year.

 

[GoTheDoggies]

Well since the Dragons lost today they aren't moving from 8th spot.

Best scenario for a bottom 4 finish in my opinion would be:

5. Bulldogs ------> loser of 1v4: Cronulla lose, I'd rather face them because they don't pose as much of an attacking threat compared to roosters
6. Storm
7. Souths
8. Dragons X

Same theory applies to the dragons if our defensive attitude is right we can limit the amount of points they score.

 

[EXPLORER]

I predict a premiership to a team outside the top 4 this year.

Me to
Go the Bulldogs

 

[Mr Invisible]

You've forgotten ..

If the Tigpies hammer Dragons (and there are a LOT of reasons they will want to), then Manly need to win by 30 to snag a spot in the 8.

and Manly with a season on the line could do that.

 

[Freakzilla]

Manly have to make up 51 points which wont happen.

 

[Nano]

Manly have to make up 51 points which wont happen.

They are a team on paper that can but like you said it won't happen with their current form

 

[Kiraz Crazy]

I still think that:
A: Melbourne might win on thursday, meaning we finish potentially 6th
B: Melbourne and sharks both lose, meaning we finish potentially 4th

I feel like its one of those 2 cause if melbourne lose sharkies will buckle from the pressure and if melbourne win we will rest our players and up 6th
