That is the worst most biased prediction i've seen (yes that includes those muppets Daley and Gould). Raiders 4th? Warriors 3rd? Tigers 1st? What????

[Bullseye]

You're just jelly I have Manly 7th. Tigers is biased, but I really think the Warriors can go above and beyond this year, and Canberra can achieve their 2010 form with a fit Campese.

at dem predictions

Broncos won't finish that low, knights/cowboys, both will be pushing for those spots with dragons (who won't slide down that far but will still be hard pressed to make the 8)

My top 8

Storm
Manly
Broncos
Tigers
Warriors
Rabbits
Cowboys
Bulldogs
-------
Knights
Dragons
Sharks
Raiders
Titans
Eels
Roosters
Panthers

Some of those predictions are also due to me predicting injuries for some squads (bar Manly, i'm biased ;D). Storm like always are the team to beat, Tigers will choke yet again. Warriors are too inconsistant to place any higher but like last year will be a threat come finals. Raiders have a garbage pack, Eels/Titans need time to gel with their signings, i see Sharks and Bulldogs having good years as well as the Rabbits with their new coach. Roosters and Panthers will struggle.

triple post, woo.

Okay, who the fuck kicked the ball back to the reds with 30 seconds left? Drop that cunt immediately. Cost us the game which we didn't deserve to lose. Reds may have won this, but they played ugly. If they don't improve without Cooper, they'll struggle hard. They had nothing in attack, absolutely nothing. So infuriating its not funny. I thought we'd grow out of giving up competition points like this. Its garbage.

On the plus side, Pretorius looks like one to watch. AAC was very good but our standout was Rob Horne. One of the commentators said it best, "i just want to see him make a season without getting injured". If he stays fit, and we can get Mitchell and Barnes fit we will make a good shake of the finals. However it is games like this that we really need to win. Our defense and discipline let us dow badly. We were good at set pieces, the scrum and lineout working well and we were good at the breakdown when we didn't give away dumb penalties. The two young guys we had playing on the wings did really well. The touchie calling a forward pass on Palu's non try is a terrible call and i really hope he gets dropped for that garbage.

You do have to feel sorry for the Waratahs, that game was yours for the taking and you deserved the win. But, like in years gone by, little things happen that lead to the downfall in these type of matches. Get a few injured players back and you'll challenge the Reds who are lost without Quade.

BTW, suck shit $BW, that's what you get for being a sook and moving on. Fuck yourself.

As for tomorrow's games, I think the Stormers will bore the Hurricanes into submission, and think the Lions will have too much for the Cheetahs, but I'm hoping it's an open entertaining spectacle like those games were last year.

[Rush]

Yeah when you see Mitchell, Elsom and Turner sitting on the bench also knowing Berrick Barnes is out and knowing that you should've won anyway is a slight upside. We have the squad to win the title easy. Its just getting there mentally that is the problem. Like tonight, 30 secs left. It doesn't matter if your winger calls for a kick. Hold the ball, run the clock down and win. Simple.

[Bullseye]

Ireland/Italy actually close and entertaining. Hopefully one day Italy get competitive enough to have a shot at winning the 4, sorry 6 nations.

Close and competitive? The second half was a mauling and they won by about 30 points.
