TOPIC:

The top 4 are not locked in by any means or should I say top 3

If you think this you are living in Fantasy land.
WP have 9 Games to go and will come out better after this bye.
Our engine room should be up and running and relatively injury free.
Dont want to go on about past seasons but seem to remember we were in a worse position under Harrow and written off but then won 10 straight.. (yeh it was good)

Now any of the bottom 4 sides on any given day can win against any of the top 3. Peel will improve.. Others not that bad Perth,SF,Cla (I exclude EP but they might even lose one)

To early to call the top 4.. A couple of losses by 1 side and a couple of wins against the flow will soon have the ladder moving again. A couple of spots could even come down to the last round.

I like your persistence boys but I have not seen anything that will change my mind. We have only lost by small margins but we don't have the ability to pull away from sides. We have beaten Peel and Perth at home (only), the Peel game we came from 40+ points down to snatch it at the death, we really should have only the 1 win at home thus far.

That has the number at 11 which probably would reduce somewhat probably 9 or ten. But if that includes Lycett and Sinclair EP would be hard to beat. I have noticed a severe lack of killer instinct at EP this year I could see them rolled come finals time, but would that be a good thing for the competition. Perhaps the quickest end to this alignment model is a massive EP grand final win.

Very,very sad Larry, but you might be on the money. Still, it ain't over till it's over. Stranger things have happened on GF day.
