2026 Season

[R_A]

Yeah it's an extremely open playoffs and I don't really fear anyone, especially at home. Would rather avoid Penrith for as long as possible and rather not play the Warriors either.

 

[Joel]

It’s a dream run if we get the Cowboys then the Sharks.

 

[EASBay17]

Hardest to easiest
1. Warriors
2. Penrith
3. Roosters
4. Dolphins
5. Sharks
6. Rabbits
7. Dogs
8. Cows

Ideally we jag 4th and roosters get minor prem. In reality i think we are looking at 6th and play souths. Sharks to drop a few may get us to 5th and playing the cowboys at home is probably the best realistic result.

 

[frankLauda]

We want to get 5th and play the cows at home.

 

[Macca89]

Surely bin for Carrigan here

 

[BTP]

Those 6 agains seem to getting more popular late in the year. Traditionally a good thing for Newcastle. Could be massive if they bring it back completely for the finals.

 

[EASBay17]

Feels like they are trying to ramp the speed back up for the finals. 4 in the first 12 minutes all for being slow. as i type this the one the raiders just gave away was borderline ridiculous.

 

[HarVeeGee13]

imagine not being able to beat (insert name of either team here)

 

[Macca89]

Raiders bombed that one

Could be wrong but I suspect they might ramp them up a bit for these meaningless games until the end of the year. Be surprised if they use them as much for the finals matches

 

[CornChippy]

Go Eels, keeping our top 4 chances alive

 

[Sheent14]

An Eels win over Phins would be monumental. I tipped them for an upset, they've been playing decent as of late.

 

[krustykraz]

The six agains are still a lottery imo.
Some games there doesn't seem to be many at all.

I haven't watched the whole game, but I've only seen one six again in the Phins, Parra game.

Agree. I did notice our mid season ‘dip’ in form coincided with the refs allowing a lot more slow ruck play. Hopefully we will see fresh instructions to the refs for a faster game in the finals.

 

[MattyM]

So glad we missed out on Tallyn De Silva. His service out of dummy half is beyond sh*thouse. Moses would be sick of spraying him by now.

 

[frankLauda]

Parra has been shockingly bad in the attacking 20. They had so many opportunities but just kept bombing it.

 

[Joel.M]

So glad we missed out on Tallyn De Silva. His service out of dummy half is beyond sh*thouse. Moses would be sick of spraying him by now.

He is 21 playing 80 minutes at hooker with a pack that doesn’t go forward to be fair

I still think there’s a good player there with a bit more development

 

[knights80]

So glad we missed out on Tallyn De Silva. His service out of dummy half is beyond sh*thouse. Moses would be sick of spraying him by now.

He will be a great hooker if he stops being selfish and just passed and ran when needed
But then again he has the most selfish annoying 7 ever outside him that he learns off

Our boy Diesel will be better than him no worries

 

[The Artist Formerly Known as Aku'd]

Warriors atoning for our **** up……hopefully they can push on and keep scoring

 

[JOJO82]

Warriors falling apart, Souths going to get them just to screw us
