  • This has been..........

    The season from hell and I certainly blame Robinson for not getting the squad ready for the battle. Last night was by far their best performance and as a result I did the old NRL predictor. Here's the rub. If souths lose to Newcastle and to us, we'll finish 7th and souths will finish 9th. As a result our 2 final games would be against Newcastle and the Warriors, both very winnable. What this would mean, incredibly, would be a preliminary against Penrith. Now after all the rubbish that's been dished up so far, to end up in the gf qualifier, gobsmacked.

        Season from hell? I mean it's been tough but we're 10th and could make the 8.

        Oi and didn't we just have a big win?

          Broncos and Panthers could rest players and gift Raiders and Cowboys a spot in the finals.

          Panthers have rested some players tonight, and Broncos have the bye, so hopefully it doesn't happen.

            From mucking around with the ladder predictor, it seems like we are very likely to make it if we win our remaining games. Raiders horrendous for and against is quite impactful.

                If we do make the 8, with improved defence and gaining momentum, not many teams would relish facing us in the finals.

                  Wouldn't it be great to see the Dogs beat Canberra today,
                  we have a real chance to jump them even if they win today because they still have to play Brisbane and the Sharks, but a loss for Canberra today would be awesome.
                  The Knights and Souths could be good for us either way.
                  But I hope the Knights win, then we can knock Souths out.

                    Its the top teams resting players in the last round that might unhinge our top 8 scenario !

                      Yep that's a worry. Nth QLD could sneak in because of it.

                      Today's game in Newcastle is massive. Hastings out gives Souffs an advantage.

                        Yes this is a worry, because it can seriously manipulate the make-up of the final 8.
                        Surely the league can step in, and they should be making a point of it right now.
                        Not leaving it to the last round.
                        Penrith have a history of doing this.

                            With Brisbane and Penrith both on 40 points, maybe the fight for the minor premiership might see them both field full strength teams for the remaining rounds. Here’s hoping.
