    Having seen Roosters v Souths and Melbourne v Cronulla this weekend, it's pretty clear that not only are they the 4 best teams, they are also a level above the rest.

    Not unbeatable but we will have to play pretty flawless footy (without stitch up refs) to beat them.

      None of them are unbeatable
      The Roosters look closest to the complete package, but their pack is beatable.
      Souths are overly reliant on the Burgess boys running over teams.
      Melbourne aren't clicking, and i think it's because Cam Smith has got old (just like JT)
      Cronulla have ordinary halves so not many points in them.

      But the rest of the top 8 are going to have to be right on their game to beat them

        The Warriors have the best away record in the comp (8-3). They might prefer to be playing on the road in the playoffs.

          May be dumb question... but who have they played on the road?

            Think this is more accurate.

              @booboo Their winning streak to start the season did include wins at the Roosters and Bunnies (1st and 2nd on the table).

              Clutch at those straws...

                Apparently Trent Barrett has finally decided to quit as coach of Manly after months of threatening to quit. Geoff Toovey is shaping up as the likely replacement (they probably should have never fired him to begin with).

                  Not often that the coach decided he's had enough of a dumpster fire, and decides to walk.

                  I look forward to spittle-flecked press conferences and investigations

                    I find the Wayne Bennett being a bitch at Brisbane to be more fun actually. He wants two more years, the Board don't want to give it to him, so he is having a sulk (not that you could tell, the sour old bastard always looks like that). The Broncos look a mile from winning the comp, even with their cushy draw of 7 and 8 day turnarounds playing Thursday and Friday nights every week. Why would you renew, because of what he did 30 years ago?

                        They should do coaching merry-go-round. So Griffin back to Brisbane and Bennett to Manly for a change of scenery and Barrett and Toovey to fight over who gets to be told what to do by Gould.

                            Ah fuck! Well hopefully there's some late season sackings to create opportunities.

                              Fuck the Broncos! I'd clawed my way back to level outright leader in work tipping. Then the Broncos decided to get excited at the prospect of a Bennett free future.

                                The Wests Tigers dropped their game against St George 20-10 so that means if the Warriors get a win today against the Bulldogs they confirm a spot in the NRL playoffs (Wests can only get to 28 points now if they win out). The Warriors are going with the same side that won against Newcastle last week.

                                  As I say that Fusitua cuts it to4

                                      27-26 Bulldogs.

                                      Bulldogs played their best game of the season but still....fluffybunnies.

                                        Why do I want the Warriors to win but then take perverse pleasure in them losing? I think it's the fan base ... not you sneak but the "keep the faith, we're bigger the the All Blacks, logue us the greatest game of all" mob, and the disproportionate coverage they get.

                                        Anyways pops. And take that. At the same time.
