IS IT FATE?

THEN there were four.And if this prophetic image from The Daily Telegraph photographer Gregg Porteous stays true to form, the Broncos will be playing Parramatta in the Grand Final - with Eels captain Nathan Cayless lifting the NRL premiership trophy next weekend.Taken in the first week of the finals at the annual captain's call, the photograph has - so far - accurately predicted in left to right order the sides that have crashed out of the title race.The Knights were the first casualties in Week 1, followed by Manly's unscripted exit. The curse of Porto's photo continued the next week with the Titans crashing out the night before the Dragons capitulated.It is a worrying sequence for Andrew Ryan's Bulldogs, who - if the trend continues - are next in line to bow out. Cameron Smith should also be concerned, leaving Lockyer and Cayless to fight out the Big One - with the Eels captain the last man standing. The theory may sound absurd, but given the unpredictability of this year's season, who would discount it?

"Wow, we must really be going all in on winning the reserve grade comp next year.
'I wonder when we will turn our attention to recruiting talented first graders, surely the pool of talent is getting smaller to choose from. "

"Exactly. And yet you watch the excitement and slaps on the backs we will witness on this thread in the coming hours. Our answer to not being able to land a big trophy fish seems to be spending our cap on a whole lake of mullet.
" we are building…"

If we're getting all spooky and superstitious, I'd just like to add that this ties in with my dream that had the Broncos playing and losing the grand final.
