Roy, Newcastles F/A is about +75 now and they're on 32 points. You're in the top 4 unless something really weird happens.

Its plus 70 now we move onto 30 points, the broncs is plus 58 the eels plus 60. So the winner tomorow only has to win by 12 to go ahead of us. In simple form we need whoever wins this week out of eels broncs to loose next week.

If Manly lose next week, I'm pretty sure the Knights would leap them and make top 4 regardless of what Parra or Broncos do tomorrow or next week.
Manly plays Storm so it's definately on the cards.

There are two spots up for grabs and one out of Eels and Broncs can't make it. Manly are no sure things now, our F/A is about +50 so we'll have to beat Melbourne to guarentee a top 4 spot. So unless Manly beat Melbourne by 20+ Newcastle are sweet.

And the rest.
Penrith must have been pathetic for them to get that well beaten.

The Knights will end on 32 points, with a F/A of 70. Hence, the Knights will make the top four if:

1. Manly lose against the Storm. Manly's F/A is inferior to the Knights, so a loss would see the Knights leap them with the 2 points picked up from the bye. If Manly draw or win against the Storm, though, they will place ahead of the Knights no matter how small the winning margin.

2. Eels vs Broncos results in a draw. Both the Eels and Broncos would be able to gain a maximum 31 points if they won in round 26, thereby placing them 1 behind Newcastle.

3. The winner of the Eels vs Broncos loses or draws in round 26. Monumentally unlikely if the winner happens to be Parra, since they play the Cowboys, but still a possibility.

4. The winner of the Eels vs Broncos only wins by a couple of points, and fails to win the round 26 by a reasonable margin. Again, unlikely but not impossible.

Any combination of the above would see Newcastle take 3rd. I'd say a top four finish is a safe bet.

Couldn't agree more, his lecturing of waterhouse towards the end of the game IMO was unnecessary. I mean I'm not 100% sure but to me when waterhouse blew up he was giving it to himself. Clark is such an egomaniac though that of course it was actually all about him.

Priddis better get cited for contrary conduct, seeings as swearing at the ref is now considered a two week offence at the judiciary.

Of course, he won't be, and nary a word will be mentioned on here :roll:.

According to Clark, Watermouse gave him a mouthful twice in the space of 5 minutes. Therefore, Clark did the right thing by giving him a lecture. It's a shame that Penny were given 3 "last chances" without anyone going to the bin, but that's to be expected I guess.

And as I said to me it appeared the only person waterhouse was giving a mouthful to was himself but clark being the tool he is thought it was all about him

Clark is deadset borderline schizo the way he takes things on board, you see blokes like him in authority jobs like cops, screws, teachers, refs etc...sad.
