We will lose to the Panthers next week and finish 5th. I assume the Raiders beat the Roosters next week.
Despite our lack of finals success, our first week efforts in the last two years have been ok, the drubbing of the Donkeys in 2019, and a competitive loss against the Storm in 2020 ( 36 - 24 ). So I'll go week 1 win, I reckon we have the game to beat the Raiders, despite losing to them a few weeks ago, and I also reckon we'll be a lot fresher because the Roosters won't just lie down for them.
Otherwise if the Roosters do manage to beat the Raiders, we finish 6th and play the Knights, they could rest a few blokes as well next week, because their ladder position isn't gonna change no matter what, and they play the Donkeys, who aren't gonna beat them up win lose or draw. Either way I still think we beat them.
Week two is harder to pick us, If we finish 5th, we play the loser of Penrith Vs Manly week 1, or if we finish 6th we play the loser of Melbourne vs Souths week one. TBH I don't like our finals chances against any of these if they are fit. If anything I'd prefer our chances against the Bunnies with no Latrell, and having had a beat up game against the Storm, than any other possibility. Should we win that, I then think if fit and not decimated by injury, we can go all the way.
But I reckon barring having to face any of those sides being down a number of key players, we exit week two.
