i also dnt think melb will finish that low either .. melb 4th saints 5th  warriors out of there & roosters wont be as lucky as this yr.. i see you dnt even mention titans i knw they wont win it but they have been in the top 8 2 seasons in a row,, my roughie for 8th spot is actually sharks  dnt ask me why i just get that feeling..

We will be lucky to make to 8 next year. Tigers also to be in the finals 8 somewhere as well and also possibly Newcastle and the dogs

 

[Berkeley_Eagle]

Ok Ill take it

 

[Shoe1]

I think the grand final will be a bit closer than that.

 

[Chip and Chase]

Wow...someone needs to get a hobby.

If we are top 4 next year I'll be a very happy camper, but I can't see it myself.

 

[eagles2win]

Same position as this year and I'll be a happy camper

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I can see us (just) making the 8, top 4 would be a surprise and very doubtful of a GF win in the rebuilding stage.

But if any of the above takes place, much like ANT I'll be a happy camper as well

Shane can you also give me the powerball numbers for next week's draw?

 

[ayjay007]

Shane can you also give me the powerball numbers for next week's draw?

tonight is $10mil I think.

 

[eagle-rock08]

When he gives me the numbers should I put my notice in then or wait until after the draw?

 

[Ralphie]

If Easts make the GF a second year they will win it, just as we did in 2008 and Penrith did 1991??

I know Balmain lost 2 in a row, but usually the pain of the year before drives teams to win.

 

[lsz]

Did not work for us in 83, saints in 93......

 

[Mark from Brisbane]

I agree Ralphie...and despite all the Hoop La I doubt the Dragons will win back to back for the same reason.

 

[tookey]

I cannot see the roosters making the grand final this year.  

In reality they shouldn't have beaten the tigers in the semi final this year and won't have the same amount of luck and injuree free time next year.

Plus Brian Smith coached teams usually lose the initial excitement of his coaching after the first year.  

Then there is always the Nick Politis syndrome. If they don't win it next year Smith and the team will be under so much pressure the following year that an implosion will occur.

 

[The Gronk]

As usual it will probably be a 2-3 game split between say 3rd-10th.  We'll be in there somewhere.

Just depends if we win the tight ones and don't drop any easy games where in there we finish.
