6th for us.

[Vasco]

I reckon we'll play the Sharks week 1.

Manly couldn't have gone with Penrith last night.

You are kidding yourself.
Penrith were rudderless without Cleary.
If Parra were contenders they should have put them away comfortably. Manly would have done the job easily.
If Manly finish top 4 they will play Storm in the GF if they are on different sides of the draw.

[Ray Stehr]

We will see. Last night was finals quality. Manly are a long way from the top 4 in quality.

We will see. Last night was finals quality. Manly are a long way from the top 4 in quality.

And they rely very heavily on one player. Parra aren't a one man band, more a "team".

[BUDDY]

And they rely very heavily on one player. Parra aren't a one man band, more a "team".

Most teams have that one or two players.
Do you think if Parra lost Gutho their supporters would lose all their false dreams? If Cleary doesn't finish the season they are gone. Manly Turbo. Souths Trell or Reynolds. Storm and us need a few out.
Parra are a "team" of pretenders. They actually don't need to lose anyone. They need everyone else to lose their key players. 35 years and counting.

Funny how you both discount that 28-6 flogging at Parra's home ground.

[Johnny Brass]

Parra are better than Manly.

Parra tend to fall apart under pressure and Moses is the worst at it. I think Manly led by Turbo Tom are better.
It will be a good learning curve for some of the youngsters in our team if they can play a bit of finals footy.

Injuries havnt finished yet for this year so I think 3rd to 6th will change weekly.
The Chooks are still no chance of winning the comp even if everyone's back fit except the guys out for the season & the reason is the Chooks dont have the halves to match the top 5 teams.
Okay someone might reply & say what if the 5 teams above us lose their halves for the season & my answer to that is you would have more chance of sleeping with Kyle Minogue then that happening.
Kyle is my vintage & she's still a little hottie.

[MaxFactor]

my fellow chook mate picked that we would finish 6th this year before the season started - I was hopeful for much better - but alas he was right and now I will be happy with 6th

[Ray Stehr]

Manly's win over Parra means about as much as the Dragons win over Manly.

It’s not Rugby League anymore. Just look at the score blowouts! Most matches the game is over at half time. It’s difficult to stomach anymore. Some matches edging towards 70 points! Teams are getting too much possession with 6 agains and regular sin bins leaving teams a player short causing mayhem. The game is now laughable and a complete farce with only a handful of teams competitive.

Amen.

Too early to speculate where we will finish.

Too early to speculate where we will finish.

That sentence contradicts the word “speculate”

[Rooster90]

Finish 6th, play someone like the Dragons or Knights move on to week 2.

Same finish as last year when there was some expectation, except we actually win a finals game.

I'm ok with it.

we should find an off contract half if Robinson seriously thinks the season is still there to win
