We have only lost one home finals ever, to the Eels, so let's hope last week was a reminder.

New dream scenario:
Wahs W
rabbits with some Bennett voodoo and Lattrell kicks a 50m 2 point field goal on the siren.
sharks choke against a dogs side with nothing to play for
dolphins by 14 over the raiders who have rested most of their players

5-8 Warriors host Dolphins
6-7 Sharks host Panthers
Rorters 9th and no one is allowed to rest players anymore

I think Latrell's injured ...

 

[JustLikeStartingOver]

I think Latrell's injured ...

checks team list, uh, Ashton Ward to kick a 48m field goal. yeah...

roosters should smoke them.

 

[CWC]

Wayne Bennett to kick a 20m field goal

 

[jonesy101]

Greg Inglis to kick a 20m field goal right on fulltime to send it to 20-19 for the Roosters.

Create your own team formation

 

[Wahs_Ultras]

Plot twist: We have intentionally dropped out of the top 4 so we can be the first team to win the premiership sitting 5th-8th. Webby masterstroke incoming

 

[Wrighty]

Has anyone made the GF coming 5th to 8th?

 

[RustyFT]

Has anyone made the GF coming 5th to 8th?

[Dlenai]

Parra in 2009 (8th)
Us in 2011 (6th)
Bulldogs in 2014 (8th)

My unscientific gauge of current power levels based on form and injuries

1. Raiders 90/100
2. Storm 75
3. Dogs 70
4. Broncos 75
5. Sharks 70
6. Wahs 65
7. Panthers 80
8. Roosters 85

Conclusion: we’re so back fucked

 

[Shogun]

Wahs already had there last win of the season

Nice analysis here is my version

1 Raiders 95
2 Broncos 90
3 Panthers 85
4 Roosters 80
5 Dogs 75
6 Sharks 70
7 Warriors 60
8 Storm 50

And then the dolphins win nah I want them to take as long as we did to make our first finals! Fuck the phins!!!

Damn any analysis. We will be the giantkillers of this final series. Under-rated by both friend and foe, this is exactly the position we need to be in. Didn't Manly beat The Storm at Aimee Park midway through the season? Let's be positive. The Panthers can look ahead while we have them in our sights. They say revenge is sweet and none sweeter than a victory against a team that has no conscience in terms of selection choice. Bring up the troops, Webby, it is our team, it is our time.

lol nice angle pretty similar to my guesses except I overpowered Panthers and Roosters!

 

[wizard of Tauranga]

As someone that dislikes the defence first way the game has gone, I’m happy the three exponents of grinding games are struggling (Panthers, Bulldogs and Us).

For the good of the game I hope a well rounded, attacking team wins it this year.

For the good of the game we need to highlight talent, x-factor and amazing plays rather than training those skills out of players.
