Top 8 settled 9 weeks early!!

[mickeylane]

I cant for the life of me remember the top 8 just about been settled 9 weeks out from the last round.
Following on from Tigers loss today the 8th team the Broncos are on 20 and the 9th team Raiders are on 14 along w Tigers with 9 rounds to go...

Basically for any top 8 miracles to happen any team on 14 points would need to win 8 out of their last 9 games to make the top 8 based on 30 points being the magic number which looks most likely at this stage. I think we all agree thats going to be an impossible task for either Canberra or Tigers..

Its a very open comp as you would have to say that about any team in the current top 8 is capable of winning the comp - hence a top 2 finish for the Dragons is a non negotiable and one that should give us the edge come semis time...

Another brain fart..

I think Mickey’s got this one right actually.

Pretty much done, although the Tigers do have the bye in hand, but they play us and the Rabbits twice over the final rounds, so barring a complete collapse by Brisbane, I think its pretty set.

Big question now is, who finishes where within that top 8?

The Parra not making the semis call is officially true now isn’t it?

Well done Mickey

That’s easy mate.
1. Mighty Dragons.
2. Souffs.
3. Rorrters.
4. Scumulla.
Next four in any order;
Storn, Bronx, Panfers, Worriers.

Well, this thread going to bring the top eight and bottom 8 much closer

 

[Dragonslayer]

With the Rabbits winning today and a bye next week, they are also on 26 points.

To remain on top we mustn't lose to the Storm by more than 15.

Big couple of weeks coming up.

Were until what?

It’s not over until the fat lady sings.

Every year around about this time a top 8 team slides and a team on the fringe of the top 8 makes a surging run.
This is how the NRL and referees operate.

Disappointed that this isnt official yet.

Take it as official - this top 8 will not change - no chance!

 

[2010Dragons]

Take it as official - this top 8 will not change - no chance!

Souths will slide down without Inglis
Panthers will slide down.
Warriors will slide.Could drop out of the 8
Broncos will slide out of the 8 !

Souths get no points for the bye.

 

[SBD82]

Souths get no points for the bye.

I'd like this to be true but I don't think it is. We are equal on wins with Souths but two points ahead because of the bye.
