Another week down in the NRL and the chaff is starting to get separated from the wheat.
The Dragons and Bulldogs win again and the Titans just keep plugging away but you reckon all of them are looking over the shoulder at Manly??
They are now in 7th spot and a couple more wins will have them 4th or 5th at worst and by the end of the year maybe top 4.
They have managed to win through the origin period, they get Brett Stewart back in a couple of weeks and when the whips are cracking who do you want to NOT play come finals time? Manly.
After a shocking start when they lost 5 in a row they are now back in the hunt for the title and this Monday when (not if) they beat the Bulldogs they will just about be favourites for the title.
They are $8 or so now which I reckon is pretty good odds.
At the other end of the table and the Tigers, Sharks and Roosters are fighting for the spoon. Speaking of the Roosters, I got some mail that Brian Smith is being sounded out for the role as head coach.
I know he has got a deal with the Knights but the mail is strong.
The dramas this week have put another nail into my mate Freddies future and it’s hard to see him staying as head coach.
I think Freddie would be a fantastic Origin coach like Meninga for Queensland and maybe Gus could be his assistant and together help NSW like they have done before.
