2023 Ladder Predictions

[mongoose]

how the hell could the raiders finish 8th when they're on 28 pts already & play the Knights, Tigers & Bulldogs at home ?
the other 5 games are a bit/lot harder

but 34 pts is not going to have you in 8th

yeah we win those 3 but I got us losing to Warriors (away), Broncos, Storm and Sharks (away)

I have Raiders, Sharks and Cowboys all finish on 34 points but cause our F&A is trash, we come 8th.

Broncs are at home , not a gimme ofc

Cowboys would have to win just about all their games to get to 34 & they have some tough opposition in these last 9 weeks , I don't see that happening
we get the Sharks in the final round ... they've been our bitches for the last 6 years , I have us 6th if this happens

 

[Apey]

Sharks don't have an easy run home either but should still make the 8.

Quick tip, if panthers are still leading or far into the top4 to not lose a home final, they'll play their reserve grade side verse the cowboys, just like we did last year, so cows might have that game sorted

yea thats highly likely
too many variables for me to be certain of anything

 

[gerg]

Does anybody think that any team currently outside the top 9 is able to sneak into the 8?

 

[dogz08]

The Knights maybe

 

[captainwarrior]

Cowboys for me are the only potential chance, but I also can’t see any of the current 8 sides dropping out. Will be an interesting run home

 

[footy75]

The Knights maybe

Nope.

Hope I'm wrong, but extremely unlikely.

I think the Cows will. Not sure who drops out though.

 

[gerg]

Wrong thread.

 

[I Bleed Maroon]

I can see the Cows replacing one of either Warriors or Parra coming a mile away. Still some question marks over Canberra as well but they are in third so they have a decent buffer. Sharks will also want to turn things around pretty fast as well.

Apart from that I think the 8 is pretty much settled. Penrith, Broncos, Souffs and Melbourne are all locked in.

Parra should be nervous then because no way the Warriors are missing the 8 from here. One more game against top 8 opposition (the Raiders at home next weekend) and then bye, Titans, Tigers, Sea Eagles, Dragons, Dolphins. Can’t see less than 10 competition points in that run and they could easily go unbeaten, given they already flogged the Raiders in Canberra this year.

 

[blue bags]

Roosters Raiders shark's miss out

Roosters Raiders shark's miss out

So who besides the Cowboys jumps in? Please don’t say Newcastle…

 

[Theknightsrule7]

I think the knights are starting to hit their straps.

Pongas back in form and overall our injury toll isnt too bad. But we will need to win most games coming up. At home we have been fantastic only losing 3 games with 2 of those games by 1 and 2 points.

Our issue has been our away form this year. Also since we had a draw with Manly earlier this year we can easily skip sides regardless of for and against.

 

[SpaceMonkey]

l. Also since we had a draw with Manly earlier this year we can easily skip sides regardless of for and against.

Unless you’re on equal competition points with Manly of course, which you currently are . But luckily their differential is shit.

 

[footy75]

Penrith, Storm, Broncos, Rabbits and Warriors locked in.

I believe Cowboys, Raiders and Sharks will be last 3.

 

[ColdWetPanther]

Are the rabbits really a lock. Haven’t been going well for a while. Have Broncos next and then Tigers (who can lift for a game against the 1909 thieves). Than the Sharks. A few easy games and then finally with the Roosters (who will lift).
You can see a path to them only getting 30 points.

You can also see a path to them getting 36 and knocking on the door of the top 4.

Broncos will be a tight contest but if they're serious about playing finals, they should towel up both the Tiggers and the Sharks on their current form.
