We are at the half way mark, we all know what is happening with our team and what we need to do to get in the top 4. But which team is really the yardstick for all teams . My take on this is :
St George - consistant , they know how to grind out wins,but unless they secure Gasnier I believe they still lack a go to player in those big matches. Defence is top notch. The YARDSTICK.
Panthers - Not convinced. They will fade and very quickly. Leak too many points for me. Potent attack but can't defend points.
Titans - workman team gets the business done - but again lacking the mongrel to get a big win at a critical time, particularly away from home.
Souths - They do not have the halves to make it. Great forward pack, poor option takers and poor kicking game will bring them undone again.
Broncos - Building nicely - I am worried about them now as they are half way through origin and looking nice. Huge win today. BIG THREAT
Eagles - Halves again - missing Stewart at the back. Limping into finals and one of the first out in my opinion.
Tigers - I rate them but they need to keep their players on deck. They dont have the depth to challenge come semi final time. very fit football team
...........................................................................................................................................
Canberra - No only at home in cold winter nights
Roosters - Missing leaders
Knights - No
Cowboys - going terrible
Dogs - Going worse.
Storm - still a great team glad they are not able to compete.
What do you guys think......

John Loang said 3 weeks ago Sandow would be the best 7 in the game in 2 years... well he looks anything but today according to Gus's commentary.
Others had Sutton as their 6 in SOO and again he was singled out by Gus.
Melbourne will destroy the hopes of plenty of teams between now and round 26....... Watch those Bronco's......
If Parra come finals time can repeat last year they will win the comp, but if not -
I'm thinking Panthers are a big chance.
