Does anyone else find it bonkers that we are 1 win away from 5th?

Yeah like everybody is saying - we're ordinary and we'll most likely be shown to be just that in the next 4 weeks. I don't expect us to make the 8 ( Roosters and Sharks will go past us ) but what's frustrating if there was no sideshow this year it's the sort of comp where we could have done some damage IMO.... but anyhow.

Reality check coming....

Under the current 17 teams and 24 rounds, 8th place has been 32 points in 2023 and 30 points in 2024.

In 2023 & 24 the 4th place team was on 38.

Manly are currently on 22 points with 8 games left and no byes.

For some wacky reason I think Manly will win all 8, securing a home final at Allianz where they will lose to the Roosters.

For some wacky reason I think we will lose all 8 and finish in the bottom 4

Just consider that we actually have the 3rd best defense in the league at the moment. Something we haven't had for many years.

Wow, there's one that snuck up on me.
Conceding 20.1 points per game
Last year we conceded 21.7.
Doesn't sound like much but going in the right direction at least.
