Minor Premiership?

[fletch]

only way we win the minor premiership is if the Eels have already started their mad Monday celebrations.

23+ is by how much we need to beat the eels.

26+

Anyone know how they separate the teams if we win by 26?

Souffs and Melbourne will bash the Christ out of each other.

The thing is, the Sharks will do the same to us.

Our loss to the Tigers in round one and the dodgy Broncos loss earlier in the year probably will cost us the minor premiership.....

And that’s exactly the point I made earlier this year when all the doogooders were harping on saying “oh it’s only round one”. Crap... it may as well have been round 25. Getting early wins is a bonus that can’t be taken for granted. If we won just one of those games, we are clear cut Minor premiers. It really won’t make much of a difference considering we should finish 1st or second but at least we wouldn’t be worried finishing third and playing away in round 1.

Pretty sure they go back to head to head. Melb beat us in Adelaide so they will get the MP if we finish on the same points and same for n against.

So it might very well be Latrell's miss penalty that costs us the MP

We normally don’t do that well in finals when we’re minor premiers anyway.

If you want to be like that i would say it was the very controversial loss to the Storm in Adelaide.

But it’s there for us. Parra are the wooden spooners. We can flog them.

Yes true! Failed my calculations on this Friday evening.

3 of our last 4 premierships have been won when we finished minor premiers.

3 of our last 4 premierships have been won when we finished minor premiers.

Or 1980, 1981, 2004, 2013, 2014 and 2015 we were MP’s and we fizzled out with the exception of 2013. I wouldn’t call 1/6 a great stat.

Cronk has us focussed on job @ hand.. Coaching staff are basket cases...

Possible...

[RoosterFanNZ]

Wonder if the refs/nrl will allow us to come first

[Ray Stehr]

Yadda yadda yadda, the fact remains that 3 of our last 4 premierships were won when we finished minor premiers. Can't argue with facts. You can't win a premiership if you don't make the grand final.
