Yeah, I can't believe noone is talking about the Storm.
They have the easiest run home of all the contenders -- Knights, Sharks, Warriors, bye, Tigers.
They could easily finish in second spot on the ladder, hosting a home final in Melbourne and earning the double chance. First week against seventh (chances are this is either Tigers, Sharks or Eagles) should be a win. Preliminary on Saturday night at Aussie Stadium would follow.
Storm certainly are a good chance this year.
Forget the Dragons. Everyone hypes them up like this after they deliver an awesome performance. Then they screw it up. If they play like last night for the rest of the season, good luck to any team trying to keep them to less than 30 points in the match.
But they won't. Case in point is my soccer team. Last week we played first, who'd only lost one match and conceded ten goals all season. We were fired up, we played awesomely and beat them 6 - 1. Today, we played a team at the bottom of the ladder, played crap and lost 2 - 1. Oh well, at least we are still clear in third spot... semi finals next week! WOOOOO! During trials!
Broncos/Eels vs Dragons/Bulldogs grand final ... doubt it will be Broncos vs Eels or Dragons vs Bulldogs. At the moment, I'm favouring towards Broncos vs Dragons. But that's only because El Masri is out and I'm not sure how the Dogs will aim up.
