Good game from the warriors v the sharks. Still room for movement in the top 8.
Tough times ahead for sharkies too, few tough games coming up
Sometimes when I watch the Warriors, I think they’re impressive, a lot better than I thought they were, and have a sneaky shot at winning the whole thing.
Then I remember the damn Panthers…
Painful week for the Eels - Only managed to win by one point which isn’t helping their points differential, and they’ve added two more players facing a lengthy suspension.
Brisbane did well given the amount of players they had out.
Got a perfect round , much thanks to the refs on that last game :-) Time to start checking the run home for em all now, nothing but injuries or suspensions should get in the way now. I think we’ve had all the coach sackings for the year surely.
The run home is less settled than usual this year - with all the byes confusing the ladder.
Three top eight teams have played less games than the other five teams. That’s two points they’ve been gifted without having to actually win a game. It’s a also a free week off to rest and recover from injuries which has given them an advantage in the games they have played so far this season… personally I’d rather have those weeks off late in the season.
The sharks for example are 6th, but I pick them to finish 8th or 9th.
