Cows and Broncs look most likely to boot Souths and Tits from the 8, two big redemption arcs this season.

I don't trust anyone who never shows any emotion but Peyton is slowly and scarily developing into a next gen arch-villian supercoach from a sci fi comic. I'm starting to think it's not a mask, he really is ming the merciless all the time.

Who is going to replace Newcastle? Far too early to make predictions as there are many twists and turns in a RL season. The Cowboys could easily fall out of the playoff race. The Broncos are totally reliant on their HB and if he goes down, we are ****ed. As it is, the Broncos will finish around 10th IMO.

Souths will have the services of Lattrell again soon which will help immensely. They'll make the 8. Newcastle have most of their troops coming back starting this week and they could easily go on a run that enables them to make the finals which may only require 11 wins.

Don't count out Stg or GC out yet either. When you have a comp that contains 2 brilliant teams, 3 or 4 good teams and the rest are ****=final Top 8 makeup is a lottery.

Just my call on the two most improved so far. Yeah anything can happen but the script is writing itself, you've got Reynolds, and Cows are suddenly looking like a Melbourne level drilled team, Souths have been **** and it doesn't get any easier for them next week against the premiership dark horses.

Latrine will be lucky to play again this season. He is travelling to the US for radical surgery which is not guaranteed to work.

They’ll just find two other guns to replace them.

The Tigers are still my tip for the spoon

They had their feel good story there with a couple of field goals to win against teams that obviously didn't respect them on the day but for them to beat anyone I feel like their opponent has to have a pretty bad day

Bulldogs aren't going that great either but they've got a bit more footy in them

Newcastle are the real surprise, after 2 rounds they looked like a born again footy team but if you watched their past few games (ever since Ponga extended) they've been absolutely horrific

Lindsay Collin suspended for 1 match on a high contact charge.

The ref said shoulder charge, the MRC say no it's a high tackle. Not a good look when your officials and MRC aren't on the same page.

That was a gutless call by the ref/bunker (who even has the final say these days, beats me?)
Ooh no, we might ruin the tv ratings if the game is lopsided.
Pathetic, Ramien's was a send off for sure. (but Sharks would probably still win anyway) 🙂

I went back and had a closer look at the Sharks/Warriors game.

From a Warriors perspective the main take-away I took out of it was the impact injuries have had on the side. They're still dealing with the after effects of the 70-10 loss and the impact of losing Chanel Harris-Tavita and Josh Curran had on the team. Curran especially was the type of player the Warriors really missed since he plays with so much energy that he inspires those around him.

Watching the game it seemed like the Warriors were looking for that leadership but couldn't string enough of those runs together. The game began to slip away and with seemingly everyone (even the referee...the Teig Wilton try was a classic referee try) willing a Sharks victory they tapped out with 20 to go.

It may seem disheartening in the moment but there's plenty of room for improvement in this team. In particular I feel they can do a much better job activating that left edge. Poor Asi could not buy himself any good ball against Cronulla and while I suspect he'll make way sooner than later for Volkman or Harris-Tavita I think just getting him into the game more will make the Warriors more potent.

I'm not expecting miracles coming off a knee reco, but I think Harris' leadership will improve the Warriors efforts tremendously. That was the worst aspect of the Warriors performance against Cronulla that they just got very lazy with Katoa especially making some weak efforts.

The season definitely isn't over yet and I would not be shocked at all to see you guys beat the Rabbits. Your team definitely has the capability it's just about finding that consistency.
