Draw updated after week one.

Updated after week two.

Thanks for updating the draw jesbass. And now with only 4 teams reamaining im looking at a Bulldogs vs Dragons grand-final.

 

[warriors4life_old]

I reckon it will be a Storm vs Bulldogs grand final, but the Storm vs Dragons next week should be a hell of a game.

 

[Jesbass_old]

I think it'll be the Dragons and Broncos.

The Storm will lose next week if they play the way they did last week. If they step it up, though, who knows.

The Broncos should get past the Bulldogs if their regular season is anything to go by. The Broncos defeated the Bulldogs 25-6 in round 12, and 30-0 in round 24.

I'm not even thinking about a grand final yet. I'm scared shitless about next friday night!!!

 

[Jesbass_old]

Updated after week three.

 

[Jesbass_old]

The two teams that have never lost a grand final. Only one will be able to hold to that claim after next weekend. That should make for some interesting viewing, despite the fact that it sounds a bit like the Thunderdome - two teams enter, one team leaves, lol! :lol:

I don't remember two rugby league teams entering thunderdome...maybe I was watching the wrong movie.

I'd probably opt more for dodgeball...
