Actually think Cowboys could be a chance. Play Manly missing a bunch of players and from there on it's just one game.
North Queensland are some chance. Unlikely but I'm not writing them off, at least of making it there even if they inevitably lose. Canberra and Brisbane were always no chance. I really hope Cronulla win this one, for the simple reason that I think they could give Souffs a run for their money. The fact that this game is in Canberra makes Canberra a real chance here but they just are what they are and would no doubt be rolled by the first genuine side they came across. It'd be harsh to call them a "prank team" because they've done well given the injuries they've had and the terrible selection that has plagued their side at times so I don't really begrudge them their place in this final series, but it'd start irritating me if they didn't go straight out the back door.
One game which they will lose I do think they're a chance, but it's a slight one, it will likely be Bulldogs v Melbourne imo. Cowboys have the ability to just turn off during a game.
No no no no no no. Gordon playing fullback and Wright on the wing. Why wouldn't you play Gardner if that was the case ffs?
