Can Eels still make the 8?

YES!

I did ladder predictor had the eels in 7th spot on 29 pts.

The beauty of the Eels predicament is not only do we play several teams above us on the ladder ( Knights, Tigers, Panthers and Dragons) But they also play other teams in the 8 so provided we win all our games and only drop 1 (most likley Dragons rd 26) The Eels will make the 8!

Important games:

Rd 21

Rabbits vs Dogs
Raiders vs Broncos
Titans vs Cowboys
Tigers vs Eagles

Rd 22

Panthers vs Dragons
Eagles vs Rabbits
Storm vs Cowboys

Rd 23

Broncos Vs Panthers
Cowboys Vs Titans
Knights Vs Storm
Rabbits Vs Titans

Rd 24

Dragons Vs Broncos
Knights Vs Cowboys
Panthers Vs Rabbits
Storm Vs Eagles

Rd 25

Cowboys Vs Broncos
Rabbits Vs Dragons
Titans Vs Tigers

Rd 26

Knights Vs Panthers
Eagles Vs Titans
Tigers Vs Dogs

Plus other results.

If high lighted teams win and Eels drop only 1 Game they Will make the 8, and depending on other results could finnish as high as 7th or 6th.

We've played good against teams better than us and sh*t against teams worse than us. So by that definition we should lost the next couple of rounds.

It's time like this when one starts to think of the games that got away. Like the Panthers game that was there for taking.

not only do we need to win all but 1 game of those remaining - we need a team (or 2) in the 8 already to start losing fairly regularly

Broncos and Knights are as good as gone already so it remains to see if we can sneak in. Me thinks we just might!

I dont think the Raiders beating the Bronco's this weekend is any certainty to start with - didnt anyone else see them yesterday?

Pathetic!

Depending on results, I think we are a shot. I think we will miss out by one game or so and more than likely on for and against. I didn't think we'd have any sort of chance a few weeks ago. It is slim but it is there.

If we win all but one of our remaining games, we will get in. I have no doubt. The lower top 8 teams are not good enough or consistent enough to stop us from forcing our way in. But the question is, are we good enough to win that many games.

Well so far we have struggled to win two games in a row, so it would seem very very unlikely. But I have no doubt that it really is still totally up to the team if they want it bad enough, then I think that they can get there. Time will tell.

When I did the ladder predictor, we beat the Tigers in the GF by 700 points.
