Message: [QUOTE="I bleed Maroon, post: 2700800, member: 8274"] I think the Dragons, Bulldogs and possibly the Rabbitohs are complete write offs. Merge are lucky to be in the finals at all (Manly won't make it, lets be honest. They basically need to win 2 games in 1 round), while the Dogs just lost the only player they have resembling a playmaker in Hodkinson. Reynolds isn't a playmakers arsehole and is more a liability than a help. Having a huge front row and bench doesn't mean shit if you can't score points. The Rabbitohs tell their own story. Inglis gorn, Sutton gorn and Luke suspended AGAIN. They have no leaders left, their backline has some serious dudds in it and the younger Burgess brothers can't fill the gap Sam and Te'o left. If the Roosters smash them next weekend, they'll be out in the first round. Melbourne are a bit of an enigma at the moment. They beat the Cows in a pretty controlled affair sure, and they seemed to relish exposing J.T without Morgan on field, but they only won by 8 points at home. How much of a run they give us at home next week will probably say a lot about where they are really at, but if Bennett rests crucial players, that obviously won't mean shit. They obviously can still finish top 4 so if things fall our way, we might be taking them on in consecutive weeks at home. That would be amazing, the shoe is on the other foot for once and Melbourne will be our doormat to the Premiership for once. Cronulla.....I seriously doubt are going to amount to anything. They seem to think they have this reputation of pulling it out of the fire and slaying the giants, but they haven't fucking slayed us. They've played us once this year, in round 2, and we beat them. Sloppily, but we got the job done. That was when we were at our worst. If we play them at Suncorp in the first round, I think we will absolutely trample them. [B]They won't be coming back to win from a 24 point deficit THIS time. [/B]The Cowboys. I dearly hope they make it opposite us at the Grand Final, I really do, but if our next premiership has to come at their cost if we finish first to their third, then so be it. The derby in the first round if things stay how they are will be a blockbuster. There won't be a seat empty in the whole fucking joint. I dare not question their chances as opposed to us because the derby is always a bloody affair. Whatever happens will happen, but if Ben Hunt and Anthony Milford end up being the slayers of J.Ts last real chance at a premiership, well.......They could write their names in history. Lastly, you would absolutely have to refer to the Roosters as our biggest rivals. They are missing their most important prop....and their halfback, and they have not missed a beat. That might just say more about Manly than us, since we lost to them by a much slimmer margin at their home ground, but I swore to hell and back that Manly would be up for that game for Tooveys sake and they got destroyed. At Brookvale. The Roosters will very likely be at the Grand Final. Should I even comment on us? Who the hell knows what happens for us from here on out, but Master Bennett has turned this club into a war machine again, one that every other fanbase was vehemently denying would ever amount to anything and yet here we are, 2 finals away from our first Grand Final since 2006, and our first minor premiership since the turn of the millennium still up in the air. Considering nobody, including fans we count amongst us ever gave them a chance in hell, I think they're in a perfect fucking position to win it all. Top of the table, no injury issues bar McGuire which isn't really affecting us anyway and we've got the best ever at the helm. No matter what happens, I cannot fucking wait. [/QUOTE]
