The Panthers v Dogs game is going to be wild. Not a fan of either but there’s likely to be some fireworks.
Sharks play a style that not too dissimilar to the Broncos could trouble the Raiders.
Dogs and Raiders to win.
-
well this has been a fun couple of days
-
this Smith thing is the biggest beat up far out. Someone clearly has it out for him.
The Radley thing is interesting, the Roosters don't give a fuck about off-field so clearly they are using an excuse to move someone off their books to free cap space.
-
yep on both counts thats what I read into this as well.

In news that will shock no one, Roosters can now apply for cap relief for $185k the amount they dont have to pay Radley

@Gunner Vossy said it also happened in 2009 with the Dragons (who lost to the 8th placed Eels - eventual grand finalists - on week 1 under the old system, before losing to the Broncos the week after) and in 1993 with the Bulldogs (who lost to both eventual grand finalists - the Dragons one week and then the Broncos the next - under the top 5 system)

AFL and NRL in the same year is very rare

Yeah 09 was the Jarryd Hayne season where he almost carried the Eels to the title from obscurity. It forced a change in the finals system rules when the Dragons went out in straight sets too, for the better might I add, as the previous year, the Wahs tipped Melbourne over in Melbourne as the 8th seed and then beat the Roosters the next week to make the last 4 that year, thus giving the 1st seed bugger all reward under the old McIntyre system.

Funny at work with an AFL diehard, I said this could well happen to Canberra (I thought they might have at least made the last 4 at best), he predicted that Adelaide would go out in straight sets.
Adelaide seem to have the same problem as Canberra this season, lack of finals experience?
