Where's the beef

I am not sure, Here is why.Joeys with one hand and 4 fingers on the trophy. Pretty hard to see them losing 2 games next term.
1. Despite the results Scots are dangerous. At the Hill particularly.
2. Kings have been difficult and remain the only side to beat Joeys. However, at the Park I would expect Joeys to collect this one well particularly in the dry.
3. Shore: Very little in the first game all be it in terrible rain and 1 game after Joeys were bested by Kings. At Northbridge they will challenge.
4. View: They are always hard defensively. They Held Joeys well at Hunters Hill and probably out enthused them both on and off the field. Not many points in them, they they also have very solid defensively
Now the Joeys, yesterday was the most complete performance I have seen. For get the last 2 minutes, the game was won. but, New were belted in all facets except the scrum where they had a points win. They play like that, they will be very very hard to stop. On a dry track, even harder if the Scotts game at HH is a fair representation of the sides ability.
With 4 rounds to go, there is still plenty to play for. If Joeys win at Bellevue Hill, then I think they will take the chocolates. But, funny things happen at Bellevue Hill and nobody has said that Scots lack talent. At Joeys, you expect to win. If you don't you find it hard. So, confidence and belief are important factors here. Joeys go into the break with both, but, the break gives all teams time to reset.
