They've run out of puff again in the home straight. Cannon fodder in the playoffs.

Having seen Roosters v Souths and Melbourne v Cronulla this weekend, it's pretty clear that not only are they the 4 best teams, they are also a level above the rest.

Not unbeatable but we will have to play pretty flawless footy (without stitch up refs) to beat them.

None of them are unbeatable
The Roosters look closest to the complete package, but their pack is beatable.
Souths are overly reliant on the Burgess boys running over teams.
Melbourne aren't clicking, and i think it's because Cam Smith has got old (just like JT)
Cronulla have ordinary halves so not many points in them.But the rest of the top 8 are going to have to be right on their game to beat them

without stich up refseven then we’re still fucked) to beat them.Think this is more accurate.

Apparently Trent Barrett has finally decided to quit as coach of Manly after months of threatening to quit. Geoff Toovey is shaping up as the likely replacement (they probably should have never fired him to begin with).

Not often that the coach decided he's had enough of a dumpster fire, and decides to walk.
I look forward to spittle-flecked press conferences and investigations

I find the Wayne Bennett being a bitch at Brisbane to be more fun actually. He wants two more years, the Board don't want to give it to him, so he is having a sulk (not that you could tell, the sour old bastard always looks like that). The Broncos look a mile from winning the comp, even with their cushy draw of 7 and 8 day turnarounds playing Thursday and Friday nights every week. Why would you renew, because of what he did 30 years ago?

There should be an investigation!

But I'm a great coach! Hard to lose with the only team in Queensland ffs.

They should do coaching merry-go-round. So Griffin back to Brisbane and Bennett to Manly for a change of scenery and Barrett and Toovey to fight over who gets to be told what to do by Gould.

There is still MacGuire and Hasler sniffing around for jobs as well.

Ah fuck! Well hopefully there's some late season sackings to create opportunities.

The Wests Tigers dropped their game against St George 20-10 so that means if the Warriors get a win today against the Bulldogs they confirm a spot in the NRL playoffs (Wests can only get to 28 points now if they win out). The Warriors are going with the same side that won against Newcastle last week.
