Oh and one mustn't forget that @Drop Bear's Bronco's will (probably) be in the finals race too ..

Probably... sniff. Mathematically impossible not to be in the very deserved spot of being in the finals. 

It was very nice of the to let Thurston get the winning try last week in his final game against the Co's

As with recent Broncos v Cowboys matches gone by, Broncos lost it in the last few minutes.

They deliberately threw it to claim the underdog tag!!

Man they are gonna be awesome!

Unless we cop floggings by the Rabbitohs and Roosters ..........   I'm going to the game on Thursday so I might have to tip the Rabbitohs to increase the Broncos chances of winning ..........  

[Gad]

Sunday, August 12 results  

Raiders 20  v 22 Tigers

Tiggers keep their slim hopes alive for the finals eight, thanks to Leilua giving them 10 points while he was in the sin bin.

Storm v Sharks

Sharks played up to their ability and the Storm were below par, on the day.

[Drop Bear]

Stupid tigers.... There is no way Broncos will loose more than 2/3 and Tigers wont win all 3 against Dragons Rabitos Sea Eagles.... so even if Tigers get one extra win the Good Guys are still in front on PD..... What could possibly go wrong???? 

[Gad]

3 more NRL rounds, 4 Finals rounds and season 2018 will be done and dusted. Before it`s over will we know whether Bennett will be coaching the Panthers or the Dragons for seasons 2019 & 2020?

Broncos 38  v  18 Rabbitohs

did how the 2 premiership points were claimed and the last 25 minutes  of this game tell more about the Bunnies final`s challenge hopes, than where the Broncos are headed in the finals play-off

No? Broncos have timed their run perfectly!!

That will be awesome. Have fun!

[natang]

C'mon Titans! 

 

[natang]

Scaley stop picking the same as me! I can't over take you when you tip the same as me! 

[Old Scaley]

No secrets @natang. I always pick the Qld teams. Hasn’t been a winning tactic too often this year but it lets me enjoy the footy a bit more.

[natang]

HAHA I have been trying to pick not with my heart. I knew Titans were due for a win! I hate the Sea Eagles as well. Great little comp though.

[Gad]

Friday, August 17  results

Sea Eagles 34  v  42  Titans

A game of 2 teams who do not know how to put 2, 40 minute halves together.

Storm 20  v  4 Eels

Not a surprising final score line. Recently the Eels really have been playing above their 2018 form. Bad time of the season for the Storm to pick up a number of concerning injuries out of this game.

[Gad]

Saturday, August 18  results

Panthers 12  v  20 Knights

one can only come from behind so many times before it`s miaow-less

Wests Tigers 10  v  20 Dragons

The Tigers first 20 minutes pencilled in which Mad Monday they would  start planning for.

Sharks 28  v  16 Cowboys

Sharks made very hard work of that win

[ellicat]

I was looking for @natang in the crowd, then realised I don't know what he looks like. hahaha

[natang]

Ellicat that's funny! It was bloody cold out there. Was blowing an absolute gale yesterday and today.... I had shirt, hoodie, shorts and thongs as I didn't bring any jeans down with me... **** game by Tigers constantly dropping ball on last play near the line they bombed at least 5 tries....

[Gad]

Sunday, August 19   results

If we'd converted our opportunities we'd have won by 20+ !

The fans on the hill where I was were 90% Tigers fans and started to get the quite cranky and chanting things at the players. Also 20mins from full time started to leave the grounds. Was a really cool atmosphere! I recommend it for any Tigers fan go once! 

[ellicat]

Yeah, I'll have to get around to it one day. Sounds like something for the bucket list.

[natang]

Blocker Roach was on the hill about 5m from where I was. IT was ridiculously cold. Atmosphere compared to Suncorp was surreal! 

[ellicat]

Blocker was there with Kerry Hemsley (old 1980's teammates) as well as Bryan Fletcher and Matty Johns.

Jealous....

[Drop Bear]

So can I say Broncos are in the finals now? 

Tigers have a -44 PD?

You've been saying that since week 1! What's the difference! 

Ellicat I saw them there was really cool. I was in the pub drinking with them when they were filming for his Matty Johns show. 

[ellicat]

I saw the show, so probably did see you. lol

[Drop Bear]

Well I have been saying that they will win the final.  They will you know. 

Never ever discount a legend. Bennett is undoubtedly one of these.  He even has his own wiki!!!

Thursday, August 23  result

Tigers 22  v  20 Sea Eagles

What a strange game. Tigers tried to lose it and Manly were never going to win it. 

[Gad]

Friday, August 24  results

Warriors 36  v  16 Panthers

FT time score says it all.

Cowboys 44  v  6 Eels

Full time score gives the Eels more credit than warranted

[kmcrosby78]

Great home send off for JT. Taking my son Liam to see his last game next weekend down the Gold Coast - he turns 7 in November so I'm hoping he'll remember it forever. BIG game for the Broncos tonight.

[Gad]

Saturday, August 25  results

Raiders 24  v  12 Rabbitohs

Fancy that, from top of ladder to fricassee`d bunnies 3 weeks in a row

Titans 8  v  10 Storm

Storm were down a few players, but Billys back turn non obstruction try saver helped beat a courageous Titans outfit.

Roosters 8  v  22 Broncos

Apart from the Storm the other top 4 teams have been stuttering over the last couple of rounds, while most of the bottom 4 have been building with only another round until the finals.

Storm just got a win over gc. Broncos smashed em and will win this year. 

[kmcrosby78]

Yep, blarrrrrdy good win!!!!  Hopefully Manly will be a nice comfy win heading into the finals and fingers crossed a couple of others slip up and we can get a home final for the first week.
