It may be a little premature but it's bye week, so let's have a go. None of those finals calculator things are up yet, unfortunately.

After Round 13, the half way point, we sit on 16 points.

The run home looks like this.

Cowboys (away) Origin players are out
Sea Eagles (home)
Knights (away)
Broncos (away) Origin players are out
Tigers (home)
Roosters (away)
Storm (away)
Knights (home)
Warriors (away)
Eels (home)
Panthers (home)
Dragons (away)
Raiders (home)

Which games will we win, which games will we lose?

How many points will we finish on, what position does that get us?

Cowboys (away) - Win

Sea Eagles (home) - Win

Knights (away) - Loss

Broncos (away) - Win

Tigers (home) - Win

Roosters (away) - Win

Storm (away) - Loss

Knights (home) - Win

Warriors (away) - Win

Eels (home) - Win

Panthers (home) - Win

Dragons (away) - Loss

Raiders (home) - Win

I think we have a realistic chance of only dropping 3 more games.

That leaves us on 36 points and possibly a top 2 spot.

That's 30 points. That should see us finish around 5th or 6th. Probably a little more conservative than mine. :p

I want a home semi!

Agreed, I'be no doubt the Broncos will be tough. Macca, I love the optimism. I'll be pushing hard for your selections. An all up from now would pay great!

Cowboys (a) Tough one, Win
Knights (a) Loss
Broncos (a) Tough again, Win
Tigers (h) Win
Roosters (a) Win
Storm (a) Tough, Loss
Knights (h) Tough, Win - not gonna let those merkins beat us twice!
Warriors (a) Win
Eels (h) Win
Panthers (h) Win
Dragons (a) Loss
Raiders (h) Win

Sh*t... Just went though it and came up with the same as Macca! Guess I'm an optimist too! Up, Up, Cronulla!

Macca, We have scored good around Origin time this year and we play Qld based teams which is a bonus. The boys have done well considering injuries (2 main playmakers out and Benny Ross) the young kids have stepped up.. Win 5 outer 6 Home games . Away games Win 4 or 5/7 games, we get them up and we are looking good champ. Top 4 is the goal, then we receive a Home semi. If we can up on 34, 36 points I'll be happy as a pig shett my friend.. Our Forwards are doing a fantastic job they remind me of the pack we had in '99 dude, when we were minor premiers. Lets hope so hey...

Cowboys (away) - Win
With the players they have out we really should beat them.
Sea Eagles (home) - Win
Lost to them in a close one last time playing like crap. Should get them at home.
Knights (away) - Loss
Newcastle will be difficult at home. Dont like chances.
Broncos (away) - Win
Same applies to Broncos as Cowboys. Broncos are never easy though. Im not confident with this game but in theory we should get the cash.
Tigers (home) - Loss
The Tigers game plan works beautifully against us. I cant see anything changing.
Roosters (away) - Win
Always seems to be a close game against the roosters. Will be the same again. Im tipping us to come out on the right side of the scoreline.
Storm (away) - Loss
Although we have a half decent record down there the storm are an awsome team. I think it will be a loss.
Knights (home) - Loss
Still cannot see us beating the knights even at home due to their ball movement. If johns is out its a different story.
Warriors (away) - Win
Always a danger game depending on what the warriors attitude is like. Once again we should win in theory.
Eels (home) - Win
Should win if they continue their current ways.
Panthers (home) - Win
Should win.
Dragons (away) - Loss
The 'gong' is a hole and i think we will play accordingly.
Raiders (home) - Win
A good match to lead into the finals with. Raiders always turn up but we really should win.

Looks like 7 wins for me. 30 points will see us in the middle of the 8 somewhere.

we've probably got the worst away games you can possibly get

Cows
Broncs
Storm
Knights
Warriors
Dragons
and maybe Roosters

we'll be lucky to win any of those games

tigers and eels worry me playing at home

Home games dont worry me one bit.

Only think we'll lose at the 'gong' and in melbourne... cant see us losing away against the knights after their performance on the weekend.:crazy:

We are a side capable of winning them all from here on.Howebver losing to the knights in Newy and Tigers at home, are th eonly ones ill see us dropping.

Watch for the Sharks v Storm down there in melbourne, we can really pump points into them down there, like last year, we were demolishing them
