WOOT WOOT WOOT

 

[Dan]

If we dont win one out of our last two we wont make the top 4!

 

[Ryan]

The injuty plagued Dogs at Brooky....there's no better time to meet them !!!!

 

[clontaago]

The Eels and Broncos playing each other next week also helps our cause.

Then we need:
Storm to beat the raiders
Penrith to beat knights (not likely)
Sharks to beat Dragons

 

[Utility Player]

Happy 30th Manly (must be about 9 years since we got 30 competition points in a season)

 

[Canteen Worker]

For some of those years we were lucky to get 30 points combined in all three grades.

All three teams in the semis too!!!

 

[easystreet]

Not a good weekend for Manly with all the teams around us winning,some by a big margin,and us only beating the winning spooners by 22.We could really slip down the ladder over the next 2 weeks if the defence in the middle doesnt improve.

 

[Fluffy]

lowest i think we will end up is 6th, the dragons are a long way back on f/a

 

[Nutzcraw]

We will make top 4 aslong as whoever wins out of Parra V Bronco's losses the next game!

I just did the finals predictor with us losing to storm but beating the dogs.... and i have us finishing 3rd still

My round 25 predictions:
We beat dogs,
Bronco's beat Eels,
Dragons Beat Sharks,
Panthers Beat knights.. (no joey and penrith need to win both games to make the 8 )

Then in round 26
We lose to storm,
Warriors beat Broncos,
Eels Beat Cowboys,
Dragons beat roosters..
Knights BYE

IF this happens the the ladder will be:

1. Storm 44
2. Bulldogs 34
3. Eagles 32
4. Dragons 32
5. Eels 30
6. Broncos 30
7. Knights 30
8. Panthers 28
9. Raiders 28

Raiders + Penrith to decide 8th spot on F/A
Knights + Eels + Broncos to decide 5th, 6th and 7th spot on F/A
Us + Dragons to decide 3rd and 4th spot on F/A

Come on Boys beat those dirty dogs.. this is very achievable

 

[ChuckWood]

As mentioned , if we can beat the Cheatin' Dogs on Friday night , a top 4 spot is highly likely.

Interesting to note that in 2 consecutive years now , the Grand Final teams have not made the top 8.

2004 - Bulldogs / Roosters
2005 - Tigers/Cowboys
