    @jk That's why salary-cap competitions are the best.

    There is also an outside chance that all top 8 teams could finish with the same points (32).

      fucked up comp. i don't need help making my predictions look ridiculous.

      Less than a week after i declared Melbourne, The Roosters, Souffs, and the grubs of the shire to be a deadset, locked in, mile ahead of the rest top 4, two of them lose, and one loses a bunch of players to injury.

      Jesus fuck being a Warriors supporter is hard. It's the hope that kills you, i almost preferred it when we just sucked for most of the year. Almost.

        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.

        Gee thanks for the somewhat backhanded compliment. Just PM me your family address so I can send you that thank you bomb you've been so wanting.

              It's exciting supporting a team where you are 18-4 up at half time, at home, playing well, and you are still not convinced you can win

                Convinced seems a rather strong word ...

                I'd say the game currently 50/50

                  @majorrage @mariner4life any more confident at 24-4?

                  They lose this from here they don’t deserve to make the top 8.

                    A penalty goal under the sticks for a line dropout not going 10 won’t help.

                    Must say I do love the tactic of the short drop outs that the Warriors have employed tonight, despite giving away a penalty there. The team kicking off in rugby managed to get the ball back quite regularly, not sure why it isn’t tried more often in loige.

                        51/49 ... although now moving into upset if we lose this from here territory

                            The Panthers are the best team in the comp in the last 10 when they chuck their coaching and game plan out the window and just throw it around

                              Some rough patches but a great overall performance tonight! Primo to see the Fus topping the try table too!

                                  Warriors book a seat in the top 8.

                                  Gonna be an interesting final two weeks to see the final positions of the top 8 teams.

                                        @bovidae earlier this week Darcy asked Kearny flat out about Kata being a hungus. He danced around it saying it takes time to work on skills etc. Then went straight to him being a straight and powerful runner. Ugh, we know that Mooks, but how about we go with Beale and Hiku at centre ffs. Hmm would Kata make the bench?

                                          Just looked at the ladder for the first time this year ... One of either me, or the NRL is a little retarded ...

                                          https://www.nrl.com/ladder/

                                          Given you cannot have a draw anymore ... then what is the point of having this on the ladder ... and then, whats the point of having points, let alone having 2 ... why not just order it in wins and then points diff?
