I live in the Shire and have hated them since 1967, as to whether they're the real deal remains to be seen.
At the moment I suppose they are the real deal and at just over halfway into the comp it appears they will finish in the top four which gives them a big advantage, their form is very good based on the teams they've defeated so far , but several factors have to be taken into account.
The Bulldogs are a worse this year than last year and apart from their big forwards have no attack plan when in the opposition twenty, they struggled to beat a depleted Manly side at home when everything went their way, including a disallowed try to Manly which would have won the game.
They have had a lot of luck winning all of their very close games and maybe this tide will turn.
At this stage they have suffered very little injuries, and if they remain injury free and finish top four then they're a big chance, but are still behind the Cowboys and Brisbane and probably Melbourne, and perhaps Canberra

Hey now, Hey now, don't dream it's over, . . .
It'd give their amco cup ( or was it Panasonic, tooths, kb) something to talk to for 12 months. Still think they should buy it a dog.
My attitude is always 'will thy finish in the top4?'. Since no side has won outside the 4 since 95 that's crucial, and then do they have an X factor?
They will cruise into the top 4 imo and they have heaps of points with barba, holmes, bird who all have x factor and then you have Fifita probably the biggest x factor of all.
IVe been banging on about the gf not being between the cows and Broncs since day 1, but where I live everyone has said that's the gf, end of story.
The Sharks are a HUGE chance.

GO Manly
Don't think they can go up another notch for the finals. I maybe wrong but I think they are playing to 100% now.

I picked Sharks v Broncos at beginning of season, and while the Broncos have dropped off a bit, they're still both 2 of the top 4 teams, and I'll stick with that pick. The difference with the Sharks this year is that, with a halves combo of Maloney/Townsend, the maturation of Holmes/Bird, and Barba back in form, they finally have a backline to go with their vaunted pack, something they've lacked in years gone by. A real threat.

Yeah bad track record. But statistically it has to happen eventually. I can hear Manuel saying it to Basil.
And they have the team to do it. They surely must have the desire. It would do them the world of good. So, Its gonna happen. (Sometime).

I get your point but no, statistically it doesn't have to happen.
but it probably will EEEEE Vennnn chew allllly.
It's uncanny I've been re watching Fawlty Towers. Manuel is just too funny.
