Looking at the system, Parramatta have got the hardest run.
The prediction
W1 riff-+ref - lose but suspicious ref calls and vanilla oak stains on ref's jersey.
W2 storm+ref - win we play sharks, expecting cows to lose
W3 win we're back to playing the riff in GF.
GF MM and sivo injured and RCG banned for messing up Nicho's pretty hair. Eels play a snore festival because JA & DB can't pull off the set plays. Second half eels pull off miracle back to back trys and are in the lead after a cheeky field goal by guth. With 30 second to go a cleary try is disallowed because his chin was in front of the kicker on a kick chase try.
Almighty Eels win the GF
Mad Monday teams.
Souths & Canberra W1
Cows & storm W2
Roosters & sharks W3
The finals aren't suppose to be easy.

Nope, loser of our game plays winner of storm game.
We have a very decent run. Neither the Roosters or Rabbits. Win next week and we get a week off. Lose and we play again at Commbank either Storm or Raiders and I'd be confident against either.
We win against panthers we will be facing the winner of roosters v souths in the GF qualifier if they get passed the loser sharks v cowboys.
Best results for us are beating panthers next week then playing the loser cowboys v sharks in the GF qualifier after they beat winner roosters v souths.
There no easy path but think Panthers taking massive risk resting so many this week. If they beat eels next week they will basically have 2 games in 4 weeks to try get into grand final but think they are resting so many in hope of ambushing Parra as we have shown if teams start well over us we can crumble.
As for roosters and Souths will smash each other next week. The winner will have injuries and suspensions and also have been up for 2 games against their biggest rival. Think it will be hard for whoever gets through to beat loser of sharks/cowboys.
I'm concerned the riff Parramatta game will cause the damage to our line up, hence the part about MM and sivo out.
So just so we are all on the same page , what's the yard stick to make BA a good coach ? Prelims ? GF loss a satisfactiory result ? Or must it be a GF win ? Or must he go no matter what the result ?
Making a preliminary final after 5 attempts won't cut it , making a grand final would eliminate all his past fuck ups .
He is already a good coach bur only a premiership will make him a great coach. It's pretty obvious hia job is safe but for me he has to get us to week 3 of finals to justify being safe.
Back to back premiers
