Finals Scenario

[Anonymous person]

1 win essentially guarantees a finals spot for us, but we can even make it in on no more wins if results go our way.

 

[broncos4life]

making the finals will be a plus for no other reason than to pad the club's impressive record of making the cut ... because they'll be sent packing quick smart ...

I dont agree with that at all. We have matched it with 1 and 2. In fact with melbourne we would have one if simpkims hadn't bet his house on the storm.

+1. If we make the finals we are as good a chance as anyone else, especially if we have Glenn and McGuire back on board.

We lose all momentum when Petero and Hannant go off for Dodds and Lui. McGuire will make a huge difference because he can play big minutes and we won't tank as soon as our starting props go with McGuire out there.

I would love to play the Sharks in the finals. By far and away the least threatening team out of all the teams in the 8 and they have absolutely nothing to offer in attack. I mean, we haven't been great in that area, but the Sharks are even worse.

and the Sharks who are worse are in front of us, beaten Melbourne at home and Souths who are running hot. Not to mention they beat us too, at our place(yea,we were down on troops)....they beat Manly and the Cowboys as well....

Our for and against is 37..the Sharks is 20...hardly a world apart

Ok - you're a Sharks fan.

We will pummel the Sharks in a finals game if we are at our best, no matter how well they play.

I couldn't give a kooee who your team has beaten this year. Simple fact of the matter is the Sharks are a consistent 3rd or 4th gear side who simply don't have any higher gears. We do, and if we fire we'll win, because our best is just a couple of levels above theirs. That's not to say the Sharks wont win, because they never fail to be in anything less than 3rd, and we can have some performances where we barely get out of first. But the fact is we have more gears than the Sharks -- something which I can't plainly say about other teams in the comp.

I have the Broncos winning the comp against the Storm after knocking off the Sharks, Manly and Cows. :thumbup1:
I don't know how that happened... :shady:

I vote for this scenario.

Geez Manly played well.

They look streets ahead of the Broncos.

Disaster scenario (which is quite possible) is we go down to Brookie, don't get the "ambush" start from the past two weeks, get 30 put on us and bomb out.

So you are not taking into account newcastles absolutely woeful, inept, turnstile defence into your summation?

Obviously not!

Still Manly look pretty devastating compared to the Broncos

lmao .. the broncos are no position to be predicting wins against anyone at the moment ..

 

[noisetheory]

newcastles defense was woeful, yep.

manly are still capable from scoring from anywhere on the field at any given time.

My god, you are more negative than Kaz.

Although Manly looked ominous yesterday we should feel pretty confident going down there. Aside from the fact they have a lot of busted players our form has been getting better and better over recent weeks and we can't be too far away from putting together an 80 minute performance. If we can just right that period in the middle of the game when our starting props are on the bench we'll be right in it.

Brookvale shouldn't hold any fears for us either, from memory we won our last game played there. Izzy!!!!!

And if we hit the finals in winning form we could definitely go on a run. I'd be confident beating the Cowboys or Sharks away from home (looking like we'd play either of them in week 1).

what garbage ... it's called being REALISTIC .. if the truth hurts, too bad ...

No, you went out of your way to be negative. Spwn said IF we were at our best we would beat the Sharks. He didn't say we will win no matter. He was already being realistic.

You just decided to jump in and be extra negative, and it's certainly not for the first time. Realism is fine in debate, but you werent debating a thing, just trolling.
