Early outlook on NRL finals

Assuming Raiders get in and also Manly are there, i still like the Dragons to get to the GF.......i like this team alot alot more than last year.......Last year they relied too much of there tries on kicks and Jamie Soward picking up loose balls and running 60 metres to score........This year they seem to have better structure in attack, also Gasnier i believe will have a good 3 monhs under his belt and will add that X factor.......Defensively they are just as good, they have the experience fom last year.

Who is going to contend them? Seriously, i have been saying this all year, it will be the team with the most luck, Panthers and Titans.........it is just absurd how much luck these teams have....

I will say either a Dragons / Titans or Dragons / Panthers final...

I dont like Manly now G Stewart is not there, they also lost Perry....Stewart is massive on that right hand attack of Manly's.....

Raiders will bow out early.........

Not sold on the Tigers, they have won alot of close games this year.........also injuries are catching up wth them......

Roosters look like the last month was there semi final series and is catching up with them......

So there is my take, Drags / Titans or Drags / Panthers.....I have tickets to the GF also........

Carl Webb, Reni Manure and Jarrod Hayne all in the same squad, the only unbackable odds for next season will be coach Daniel Anderson to become a 'crack' addict by round 5

I seriously wonder wtf that club is thinking bringing in those two degenerate has-beens ?!  Carl Webb is the biggest myth since the Yowie and has nothing positive to offer an NRL first grade squad anymore imo.

As for Reni Matua, well, if being one of the loosest cannons in Australian sport wasn't bad enough, he's also had, what, two years out of the game ?

good luck   

Matua was average at best in 04 playing behind arguably one of the greatest forward packs in the last 20 years.......

If you are average behind this pack

Omeley (at his peak), Price (at his peak), Asotasi, SBW, Mason (at his peak), A Ryan (younger and fitter)

then seriously u are no chance......What did he do at cronulla? He is so washed up, he is a myth, the game is alot faster and more frantic than when he last played......Very very lazy in defence also.....

Webb, well dont get me started.....

They still dont have a half back.....I am so glad the dogs didnt sign Morts........seriously, apart from a 10 week period last year this team has badly under achieved.......in the last 2 years

depends who's involved.

Maitua is a bum

Carl Webb is a bum

Parra to miss the 8 again by the length of the Randwick straight
