Well no i don't think so we have beat the Broncos, Rabbits and Storm. The Roosters are my biggest fear, they are over the cap imo and have an extremely strong squad. The Cowboys we can beat come finals time i think.
We won't make the Top 8

Unless you're top 4, you don't get the chance to skip a week. And there's 4 weeks in the finals series.I'm with @KOMORI We win the 3 remaining games, 2 semis and straight in to win the GF
5th and 6th get home Semis too - So SFS here we come

You're not suggesting we'll make top 4 are you?

I miscalculated the amount of semi final games in the same way HM!No, I had us finishing 6th - one extra win it is then

well i am just going to hold my breath for 3 weeks after that display against the raiders,we had them on their backs and let them back in,not the way to win a place in the finals,however that might have been their wake up call and they now realise the enormity of their challenge.
one thing is I WILL NEVER LOSE FAITH.

The big unknown is where St George is at the moment. 7 straight losses, then a scratchy win against Newcastle and a big win over the hopeless Warriors. The Broncs then flogged them in first gear. Does this amount to a revival? . They could lose to both the Panthers and Tigers, in which case we could get away with a loss. Its just hard to know what to expect with them.
IF they make it to the semi's over us, they'll just be fodder in the first week. Would be hard to take.

Manly dominated the 1987 season with a 12-match winning sequence to take the title.

So long as Manly stay in the winning mindset - last week's near miss would have woken them from their stupor - the top teams will bash each other and help us to #9 in 2015 
It's just one week at a time BUT at some point we are going to need to put a large score on to improve our F/A, this weekend is the perfect opportunity , I'm thinking maybe 46-8 would be a good score !
Oh and if we keep losing players to this stupid shoulder charge rule it will make the job waaaaay harder!!

We all remember the pathetic effort St Merge put in against parra in the first week of the 2009 finals series to ensure Manly missed the second week from 5th. The minor premiers (st merge) deciding that they'd rather play parra then Manly, if it came to that, in future weeks and lost on purpose.

Yes..and anyone who is in a tipping comp will tell you teams that are not expected to win games, can and do. Manly were not expected to win any of the last few games, yet here we are only outside the 8 only due to for and against, so perhaps we shouldnt write off these lower ranked teams, especially Parramatta!

Have faith in our team,we have the players to win all remaining games.
When l joined silvertails a few months back, l said we will finish in the top 8 and will win the 2015 GF.
I have not change my mind yet,,,"Go the Mighty Eagles"

@Mark from Brisbane the weather forecast is not looking like it is going to be our friend come Sunday
Predicted showers 3-10 mm for Sunday
If it was going to be a dry day I would probably predict a 24+ point margin win to us but probably around 12-14 point may be the case.
Do not get me wrong I would love a 48-6 margin in our favour I just don't think with the weather forecast that will happen.

The odds for us beating parra I don't like
Manly $1.07 Parra $8.50
We never seem to go well when we are heavy favourites.
Very nervous about this game !!
