WESTS Tigers pencilled in to win games…good one..

Not wrong Geo, we are more chance of winnings games we are not supposed to win, like earlier in the year, also there are only 25 rounds this year not 26 like normal, so may be 26 points gets you in the 8.
 
Still reckon we get in.
I hope u guys don't bet on footy games by thinking games go the way they are penciled in.
As if.
As above said got to really want it like early on in the year.
 
i rarely say this about any team or any player but broncos don't deserve to be there

i hope the top 8 play each other a few times but the only team i see forcing their way in is canberra.

The Broncos have been absolutely gifted 3 wins already this season by the refs: the game against us, the other game against I can't remember which team when they got a game-winning penalty from in front of the posts again and last week with their 5-metre forward pass for the matchwinner. Would be great to have the luxury of a gift bonus 6 points on the ladder, hopefully one day in the future we will somehow be one of the NRL's "golden children" who are handed a top 8 berth through incompetent and disgustingly biased refereeing.
 
The top eight is done and dusted bar intervention from the salary cap auditor and basically we have ourselves to blame by dropping the Newcastle game,Parra game and Chooks game. Farah and MM will make a difference but not enough to win enough games to make the 8

We will need to put an 2005 run home on to make the 8

It would be great however I cant really see us making the eight. I feel the cut off will be 30 points because the current top 8 dont play each other enough. We would have to win 7 out of 9 + bye and have a much better for and against. We can only hope.

It wont be 30 points for cut off.What that would mean is that 8 teams would need to go at least 14-10 each over the season and in a comp of 16 that is near impossible
 
If the team can win a few more games and can be competitive right up to the last round and DONT make the 8…I will be happy with that,only because we all know we have a very limited NRL squad,Robbie coming back and Mbye being recruited gives us an injection of class and experience..

Ivan has done a reasonable job with the cleanout and fielding a team that gives its very best 99% of the time(Raiders game being the exception)..The team has played for 80 mins nearly all season,how good has that been..

Our culture is 200% better than previous years and things will only get better next year..

Why is it we make excuses for this club…..Why aren't we good enough to win any match... this is a worry :crazy

We are on 14 points atm we get 2 byes so that puts us on 18 points, I can only see us winning (with our current team the way they have been performing recently) 2 matches for the rest of the season.... this makes us not much better than we have been in the past and it's not good enough, I think even Ivan is starting to get that worried look in his eyes. :brick:
I do hope I'm wrong 😛ray: 😛ray: 😛ray: 😛ray:

Come on Tigress,dont start being negative now,we need to keep positive so as to have a good finish to the season,the team has been doing a hell of a lot better than in recent years when we had a good roster of players and poor results..Ivan probably has got some worries,but nothing he didnt expect I would say..

Thank you TrueTiger for your upbeat considerations.
With this club it's very hard to be positive, at the beginning of the season I was extremely positive but they are letting me down, however I am leaving the door open for improvement, and hope we will scrape into the top 8 😛ray:

It’s a 4 point drop from 9th to 10th. The bigger question is can anyone see any team from 10th down forcing their way in? I’d say Manly and that’s it. Rest are gone.

Manly, without Api as hooker and struggling to put a full side? Nope, their done.

Not DCE's fault, nor Taupau's. They just don't have enough of a roster left and it will keep shrinking. We see with us that missing a regular hooker has stunted our attack and scoring.

The only two teams at the bottom that may make a run for it are:
Newcastle with Pearce back.
Canberra.
