We have beaten the favorites and should of beaten the storm. we need a lot of work but every team does. If we make the finals then I don't see why we can't have a good crack. we have the team and some experienced players like dce green and myles which is needed. I think next year or 2019 we will get it but I'm not righting off 2017. As you said it's am open competition. I think dragons will start to dwindle once teams wise up to there game plan. they have mcrone Dugan and mciines they've had a good run which will end soon
Your opinion is 100% to mine
Could be good , could be bad...
I can see a few Optimistic calls and fair enough too - as right now in the pressure cooker - simply not there.
Just feel with an injury free run this team has magic youth and are coming together though with inconsistency....happy just to make the 8 personally but there's no real certainty in 2017.

So basically you're saying Manly is useless?? Perhaps you should go away & support a more 'consistent' team!!
If they keep up the Canberra game consistency - will be very happy !!

Maxta....I know the boys have had a few issues, however overall they've shown that they can match it with any other team! With a little luck we could have beaten the Storm. As for the game against Souths we should have won that game comprehensively with the start we had. Can't rely explain the Saints game lol. We were also in the Eels game but maybe early season jitters & a new bunch of players didn't help. I think we're in for a pretty good season!

Anything is possible - look at last year an average team in this Sharks had a dream run with injuries an won. Having one maroon eye and one white eye I have believed every year for the last 45 we will win the competition. I have been right 8 times

At times in years like 1977, 1981, 1991 and 1993 we looked like we had a team that could do it if the stars aligned. Bit early to tell, but this looks like one of those years.

Why not, we've beaten the Cowboys in Townsville, Belted the Bulldogs at brookie, Grinded out both the Roosters and Raiders and have come within 4 points of the storm when they were up 30-12 at one point, against the storm!
Although I see us being more of a threat in following years we have shown we've got it in us to win the big games. Lack of injuries, awesome. The lack of experience, however, may cause for a little inconsistency along the way.
Attack is great, we really are piling on the points (although that 1st half against the raiders we were just off) and defence although it's most certainly been worse in recent weeks is, at times, unbreakable. Little tweaking here and there and we will improve as we will when more time is had for the spine.

Not sure if this is our year. The team is on the up without a doubt. For us to be serious challengers we need to be consistent and cut out the lapses where we leak points. What I am liking is the team is not giving up in games and the majority of games we are very competitive, this emerging team will be strengthened when we get the cap space to buy the quality players to add to what is there. Things are all positive moving forward.
I've said before that this comp is open to a boil over.
But to me we are just a bit, and I hate this term but I can't think of another , immature. By that I mean this team needs a bit more time to take root.
Some games they amaze me like Friday nights 1st half nil mistakes stat.
Or their defence at times.
But we can drop our bundle and that is mental toughness needing time to set.
A side that can complete and defend like we can though is worth keeping together and building on for the future.
I'd like to see them buy cronk.
A great player in all respects and a proven winner.
But one thing for sure,
This team can do anything !!

Don't know if we'll win it but we'll be there on GF day giving it our best shot.
I shall say yes! I hope the players read this and then say..." Hey you know what, we can win this. Let's do it for that globaleagle guy. "
