Finishing out of top 4 better for us?

The prize for finishing 4th is playing storm, almost guaranteed a loss.

finishing 5 or 6, we avoid top playing a top 4 team and also Manly.

I know we are out of form, but if we can win out first semi against team 7 or 8, at least we can go into the next game with some sort of confidence

Also, my opinion of BA is that he is a good coach, but he has reached his limit of what he can do. He could be like a Nathan brown type coach, rebuild a bottom club type, however i dont think he can take us to a GF.

  • Reed mahoney officially ruled out for season,  will undergo surgery on his injured shoulder. 

    We are most likely to finish 6th and will play 7th in the first week of the finals,  I believe we will win this game and then week 2 will be a challenge but hopefully it will be the roosters we play, with all their injuries they are the weakest team out of the teams likely to finish above us.

  • Going over the rest of the rounds and playing around with wins and losses it seems we can only finish 4th or 6th which means our road the the grand final goes through Melbourne. 

    A 4th place finish will see us playing the storm in week 1, a 6th place finish will see us playing the storm in the grand final qualifier if we make it that far and assuming the storm win week 1 of finals.

    • Road to the Grand Final? HKF I never knew you had a career in comedy? That's gold mate. Ha 

      • There is always a road to the grand final, it's how far you manage to travel that road that counts.

  • I would prefer to play 7th or 8th use it as a warm up game fill fit and ready the next week to demolish the team that gets bashed by 1 and 2, Parra come from 8th or 7th in 09 to play the cheats and that was when we played the top
