It's the absolute last chance for a few clubs and, even then, they know in their hearts that they're gone for another year. Who doesn't love following rugby league?
Tonight, Souths only have an upset, or two, left to get something from a poor campaign. What went wrong? Did Mitchell and Walker - just like our AFB - derail the train at Redfern Station? Melbourne lost last week, Bellamy won't let that happen again, so soon. But look at the AFL Swans, favourites can slump, and sometimes fatally.
Friday, a cracker, GC v Cronulla. Two, hard gnarly coaches, one team flying another limping. The neutrals want the Titans. Parra v Panthers is a derby without meaning. They say it 'always means something' but it isn't Eels v Manly, with all that history. Plus, Parra don't seem like a team with heart, that can back up after an upset win last week. Ask their fans!
Saturday, Canberra v Manly. Sticky's got, what? Five more years? What if they lose this one and know their season's likely done? Fans won't be amused. NQ v Brisbane will be another classic, both teams are below-par, the Cowboys have more to lose.
St George v Canterbury is an old school, Sydney sell-out. What a turnaround for the Dragons' season and the Bulldogs in general.
Sunday, Redcliffe can't drop this one against the out of sorts Warriors. They risk joining them on the 'September sidelines' if they do. Will Johnson's retirement spark something for the visitors? Does it matter, in the context of 'too little, too late?'
We close with Newcastle hosting Wests. Long, last rites for the Tigers, last chance for those hard, proud men in blue and red (which sounds like an old beer ad, sorry).
Enjoy.
