I think that my preference would be Perth as we have a better record against them than agianst the Crocs and it looks like those are the two teams that are going to finish 4th and 5th. Would be very interesting if we unfortunate if we drew the Crocs in the Semi's but really who knows?

I think the Crocs will take 3rd and NZ and Perth are battling it out for 4th, I would like to play Perth as even though NZ arent playing well they can still turn it on at any time on the offensive end.

Yep agree i would much rather play the Wildcats than the Crocs or NZ so hopefully everything falls our way! Fingers crossed

I want Perth to get revenge for the last home loss!!!

Obviously Dragons revenge on Perth

Yeah well it is either the croc or the wildcats! luckly for us it seems that the wildcats are the bogey team of the crocs so hopefully we dont have to play the crocs as we know that they hgave a very good record against us this year!

I hope we verse Perth. We have too much trouble against Townsville. Donta has come good and the rest of the team is looking good.

Get bit of revenge against Perth and sweep the series

Our semi we play winner of Breakers/36's so we can beat either of em but we would kill Adelaide.
