It's a toss-up between Souths/Roosters IMO for #2, and Newcastle have more than just drugs to worry about, the way Tinkler is clearing out his toys. Dogs would have been an easy 2nd before Barba was taken out of their roster, and Sharks and Penrith might be lucky to finish the season.

as Boof said, I am happy to put us in the top 6, and other results are not as important. I think it's going to be a season of survival for some players, and maybe for some clubs, the way things are going.

**edit** I said in another thread we might be dancing with other teams in the top 8, and I think we have a real shot at finishing ahead of Manly, and depending on how the Dogs go without Barba, we could look at a for/against to leapfrog them.

We need to rope Gasnier and Tallis into this thread. They both reckon we'll be battling it out with the Panthers, for the spoon..

7/8 for titanic is a solid effort!

13. New Zealand
14. St George
15. Newcastle
16. Penrith

Not too shabby.

Sorry Penrith. You didn't deserve that. And Knights probably deserve an apology too.

Broncos and Tigers were the big surprise of the season for me, in a bad way. And Titans.

7/8 for titanic is a solid effort!

Yep, you'd think he knows something about the game.

OK, should we post our finals predictions now?

This link will help explain how the finals games will run, and who will advance to play whom. (I think I've got my who's and whom's right )

I think we all picked the top 4, and I doubt much is going to change about the final 4.

The only upset I can see is the Rooters meeting Cowboys and being knocked out there. Otherwise I expect all top 4 sides to go through.

I can't split Rabbits/Storm on past few games form, but I think they will come together again for the GF.

I will be cheering the Rabbits all the way, unless they meet the Cowboys somewhere, which could only be in the GF. Imagine a Rabbits vs Cowboys GF! That would be quite amazing!

But I worry about the limited big game experience and the frustration and stupidity of a few of the Rabbits players. I don't think they have the mental toughness to beat Storm or Manly in do or die situations.

Storm to beat Rabbits in the GF. Unfortunately.

But go the Bunnies!
