I'd prefer us to finish top six, if only because it'll be a less painful watch than if we finish, say, tenth. Apart from that I think it'll make bog all difference. We might get longer to rest/prepare if it's the latter but soon as Tetevano and Bentley pick up their first bans of the new season and Sezer pulls up then it'll be business as usual..

Id be Amazed if we reach the play offs, il be relieved when we're officially safe at this point. When you assemble a squad that are a rare mixture of stupid and injury prone...Resulting in at least half the salary cap sat in the stands way too often, its virtually impossible to put a run together, as we found last night.

The focus has to be on performances and setting up for next year. Even if everyone is fit we're way too small up front to take on the best, so finishing in the play offs won't mean much even if we get there. I don't think one week extra rest will make much difference as that's about how long we'll last in the playoffs.

Being too small upfront is a over simplistic view of why we can’t take in the best……

There’s little between 6th and 10th, I think any club in that group could finish 6th and any club in that group could finish 10th, it’s still all to play for.

We definitely can make the play offs, which I think is ridiculous, it really does highlight that 50% of the league making the play offs is just too many.

The play offs should be top 4 only, Semi Final play off week 1 with 1v4 and 2v3 then the Grand Final the week later is what it should be.

We arnt capable of having enough players available, for long enough, to put any kind of decent run together, a problem that has plagued us for what feels like forever. Saturday summed it up perfectly, coming off 2 great wins, playing against the bottom team, confidence high...Then we see the squad...Too much cap missing to mention and another chance missed.

I agree that we'r good enough if something suddenly changes and our fare share of players are fit and available, but that never happens for long enough.

Edit...Wrote this before seeing Leemings news, case in point, unbelievable.

Calm down!
I certainly would't be laughing if I'd backed us at 5000/1.

We might scrape the play offs - but no way can we win it.
