        I was worried about Toups after he scored his final try. He landed awkwardly and looked a bit uncomfortable when he got up. Hopefully it was nothing though.

          They looked a rabble today. Will they lift for DCE's final home game for the club?

            take it as given and when asked he'll say it was because it was on a sunday and that didn't give his players enough time to recover from a game that will be on the friday or saturday. not good for us and it's the luck of the draw but we've definitely drawn the short straw. at the end of the season we will have played twice v the bottom 8 sides and six times v the top 9 sides.

            • Raiders will play full strength in the last round if they need to win to get the minor premiership.

              • Newcastle were dreadful against the Cowboys.
                I don’t give them much hope against the Broncs next week.

                  yeah? don't think ricky will risk players for the minor premiership if he's assured of a top two finish. it's generally accepted that the minor premiership isn't worth much. only mitigating factor is that they've had the bye this week and maybe he thinks a few players will benefit from playing another game. but you'd figure the fact that it's away on the sunday before the semis will be a more important factor. he'll do everything he can to win the premiership even if it means not winning the premiership

                      Storm
                      Panthers

                      Sharks

                      Respectful season so far. Worth their salt.

                        I don’t think Sharks are worthy of pretenders status. They are absolutely garbage. I think Fitzy should stick to assistant coach roles. We’ve seen zero improvement at that junk club.

                          They're too erratic and so much depends on how Nicho Hynes performs. They should sign DCE

                            I think you’re right with what Stuart will say and do. I’m not sure what you mean in your comment about us verses the top 9 and bottom 8 sides. It’s gone over my head sorry. We must have played the top 9 sides more than 6 times and bottom 8 more than twice?

                              i could have been clearer. every club plays every other club at least once and plays eight clubs twice. of the eight clubs we play twice, six are in the top nine and two are in the bottom eight. we will have played above average teams more than we've played below average teams.

                                After four consecutive defeats (two at Allianz) I think they will lift
