Finals Week 1 General Discussion

[ssar]

The schedule for next weekend apparently, NRL 2009 Finals Week One:

Friday Night 7:45pm @ Docklands, Melbourne – Storm v Sea Eagles
Saturday Night 6:30pm @ Gold Coast – Titans v Broncos
Saturday Night 8:30pm @ Stadium Australia, Sydney – Bulldogs v Knights
Sunday Afternoon 4:00pm @ Kogarah – Dragons v Eels

---

Predictions next week:

Storm ($1.70) v Sea Eagles ($2.00) – Sea Eagles for the upset, by 12
Titans ($2.00) v Broncos ($1.70) – Broncos by 18
Bulldogs ($1.70) v Knights ($2.00) – Bulldogs by 8
Dragons ($1.50) v Eels ($2.60) – Dragons by 16

Then the week after:

Broncos ($1.70) v Storm ($2.00) – Broncos by 14
Sea Eagles ($1.40) v Titans ($2.70) – Sea Eagles by 16

Though I would really love to see the Eels win, go thru all the way, and then lose to Manly in the GF.
Bwahaha.

You know I think for the first time the bottom 4 teams can knock off the top 4.

Parra know what to expect from the Dragons and will not play like they did on Friday nite.

Both the Dogs and Titans have injury concerns and did not show anything in the final rounds. The Bulldogs will not win a game without Kimmorley.

Manly will beat the Storm provided we shut down Inglis.

If thats the case I say

Manly over the Storm
Titans over the Broncs
Knights over the Dogs
Eels over the Dragons

Hoping anyway
