Gut feel

I hate to be playing the Warriors in Auckland. No easy feat & thanks to Ellis, it was only a spark from him (to ignite Benji) that only got us back into that game this year. Before that, the Warriors were all over us. They wouldnt let that happen again in a finals series.

Stating the obvious, but lets just hope we win and stay in Sydney (or better yet, get a week off & stay in Sydney)….
 
It all depends who is fit and who is short of a run ..My opinion is we have Saints measure it all depends who plays and there condition ! The Dragons are still not a form side far from it, we get on top early were there we have more points in us.

That's not correct (sorry if this is a re-post) hasn't been that way for a number of years. Here's how the finals venues work:

**Home Venues Explained**
>
Week One: Qualifying Finals
The highest qualifying teams after 26 Rounds will host each match at their normal home venue, with exception to any Sydney based NRL club which will play their 'home game' at either the SFS or ANZ Stadium.
>
* Home venues subject to NRL approval as suitable to host a Final
>
Week Two: Semi Finals
The highest qualifying teams (after re-ranking following week 1 results) in each match (winners 3 & 4) will host in their home city.
>
The following home City venues may qualify to host a Final in Week 2:
>
New South Wales / ACT:
Sydney: Sydney Football Stadium, ANZ Stadium
Canberra: Canberra Stadium
Newcastle: Energy Australia Stadium
>
Queensland:
Brisbane: Suncorp Stadium
Gold Coast: Skilled Park
Townsville: Dairy Farmers Stadium
>
Victoria:
Melbourne: Etihad Stadium, MCG
>

Auckland: Mt Smart Stadium
>
* A decision on which days both Finals will be played will be made following the completion of Week 1
>
Week Three: Preliminary Finals
The highest qualifying teams (after re-ranking following week 1 results) in each match (winners 1 & 2) will host in their home Region.

My gut feeling for us is negative. Only going by form.

I dont like the way weve gone away from focusing on completing our sets, it seems the 'score off every play '' mentality is back.

Though on the positive side hope we get back to my first points as we usually do when playing the good teams, we do seem to play better when the opp is quality

If we have to lose one then this weeks the time.
Can we win 12 straighT?
Big ask.
 
All bias' aside i honestly think we will beat them fairly comfortably (8-12 points). Been confident since the weekend. Remember before the Canberra semi last year when everyone was questioning our ability to win because Marshall wouldnt play and if he did he would'nt be 100%. We all know what happend that night. I also think the winner of this game is likely to win the premiership and God would i hate for it to be the dragqueens again.

Wests Tigers 20
Dragons 10
 
If we come out and hammer them in the first 40 like we did the roosters last year, the dragons won't have the resolve and ticker that the roosters showed and we will hold them out.
That's my gut. Tigers 20 dragons 12

My gut feeling is that Wests Tigers will burst out of the blocks on Friday night and put saints away, they won't recover from the onslaught. TheWests Tigers momentum and new found team harmony coupled with recent success and confidence will have them up on the attitude required. They have the ability to beat any of the top 8 teams, it gets down to attitude and will to win which they have.
 
I am so nervous. I want to win so bad!!! Bloody Dragons.

Every time they lost in the past few weeks ive mad comments. Dug myself a hole!!!

I reckon its gonna be a good game…. and we will come out happy (like the last time the teams met)
 
I am nervous similar to first semi in 2005
We seem to lift for final games - although we lost 2 last year we played well just couldn't finish them off
One concern is Benji's goalkicking - has gone off in the last couple of weeks

Been thinking the same thing, lets hope if we do lose, we will know our destiny by late sat night.

I am so nervous I am almost happy that my daughter has a huge performance on Friday night that we all must attend, it will finish at 10pm hopefully it will be well and truly over by then and i can just sit back and watch the replay.
I know its :crazy :crazy :crazy , this team does that to me though!!
