Message: [QUOTE="Coxy, post: 2442401, member: 1764"] There's been too many occasions where a team down on form around this point in the competition has turned things around and won the premiership. Broncos 2006 for one. Conversely, too many occasions where a team flying high at this point of the competition has started to taper off come finals time and get bundled out. Dragons...well just about any year except 2010. I still have a sneaky suspicion the Bulldogs are peaking too early and will fall away. The question is how much will they fall away, and for how long. It could just be a dip for a week or two and then come back to their peak enough to win the title. Similar applies to Souths, although I'm not convinced they've peaked yet. Yesterday was without doubt their best 80 minute performance all year, but can they back that up? And can John Sutton do that kind of performance consecutively? Let's face it, he's hot and cold. Newcastle? Well I'm not sure they have the forwards to beat the big teams in the big games, but their form is impressive and if they continue to gain confidence they're certainly a dark horse. I reckon give it a month and we might well have 3 other teams we're talking up...and Manly and Melbourne will likely be 2 of them. [/QUOTE]
