If Newcastle beat Canberra tomorrow......

[thommo4pm]

Can we basically say the top 8 is done and dusted, and it's just where those sides in the 8 finish.

Newcastle win, and they'll go to 26, 4 points clear of 9th and really I can't see anyone catching the teams in 7 & 8. For and against for the sides out of the 8 is also poor.

 

[Stormerz]

If you want.

 

[HowHigh]

I'd say so
Bulldogs points differential will screw them over, they just don't have enough points in them even if they do notch up a few more wins

 

[innsaneink]

Need re-assuring do we?

 

[thommo4pm]

Need re-assuring do we?

Yeah that's it, given we are 7 points ahead of 9th place. :roll:

The point is more along the lines of, when have we had a season where the top 8 is almost as good as done with 4 rounds remaining?

No. It will come down to the round 26 game against the Knights. We're going to beat them, we're going to get in the 8.

 

[innsaneink]

7 points ahead
8 up for grabs
The way you blokes are goin.....................

 

[ceagle]

I think the top 8 will end up as

1.Melbourne
2.Manly
3.Brisbane
4.Nth Qld
5.Dragons
6.Tigers
7.Warriors
8.Knights

I suppose the bunnies do have a couple winnable games remaining:
Eels, Raiders, Cowboys, Broncos, Knights

But with a points difference of -84 its not looking good.

Assuming the other teams win every game they play

 

[Billythekid]

On the flip side what if the knights lose? Then they have to face the broncos and the warriors the following 2 weeks which will be a tough ask. Their final 2 games are against the dogs and rabbits which are the 2 teams they will be contending with.

Pretty big game in terms of the top 8 race.

Yeah ok.....means you guys might struggle also then, given you are still 3 behnd us, and if we are going so bad, why did you struggle to put us away?

lol Souths won't beat the knights on Old Boys Day

I agree, that's a big occasion up there. Dragons have managed it I think, in the past couple of years but not too many sides have done it

You guys did it because you're a premiership winning team and the game was still a close one. Souths are .... Souths :lol:

*We're 4/4 and have beat three top 4 teams this last month.
*Youve beat cronulla the last month....2 wins from the last 9 is it now for you???
