This guy must be Kiwi?
Only one to predict we make top4.

Andrew Marmont (NRL.com reporter)
1. Storm
2. Roosters
3. Rabbitohs
4. Warriors
I see the Warriors making a late-season dash into the top four with a decent run home, while the Storm will take out the minor premiership. The Roosters are building at the right time and South Sydney can cash in with some big wins against the Eels, Tigers and Raiders.

We do have a decent draw. We'll be favourites in all but one of them really (Dragons).

Shocked that I have the most faith TBH I'm just about the most skeptical person I know with respect to the Warriors

To miss the 8 we need to collapse in a heap which is possible but looks pretty unlikely. At the same time one of the teams below has to win consistently. That looks even less possible or likely

I said possible lol

Still Tigpies and Raiders couldn't deliver this weekend
True, it still requires the other teams to play decently.

The most disappointing aspect is that the top 4 is now gone, and a 5th/6th finish is unlikely. So if make Finals, will be no matches in NZ

Tigpies still have some fight in them despite this weekend, and we could well drop just about every game from here if we keep this up.

Rd21: Dragons (a)
Rd22: Knights (h)
Rd23: Dog (a)
Rd24: Panthers (h)
Rd25: Raiders (h)

Max points 34.

Today's team doesn't win another.

Will be favourite in 3 for 5 games. (Knights, Dogs and Raiders) but have the ability to lose all of those.

If we do I trust Kearney is sacked because that would undeniably show nothing has changed

Yeah and it's easy to kick Kearney when he's down - I generally hold fire on that.

But ffs there was no pride in the jersey whatsoever today, wtf were all our forwards doing plodding around failing to make any metres or impact. Papalii may be the only one exempt from that. Our spine were on a hiding to nothing with no space or momentum to work with; how many times did SJ try to spark something and have everyone around him frozen in time. Tevaga and Lawton made a lot of mistakes but never stopped trying either, what's up with the rest of them?

The Titans are not a great side, and they were not great today. We play smart composed football, complete our sets and show a bit of pride and we win games like today.

Sorry, that's coaching.

We had the best purple patch we've had in a long time, but starting to think that's all 2018 will amount to.

Top 4 talk very interesting.
Dragons final 4 look easier wins for them with:
Rd22: Eels (a)
Rd23: Tigers (a)
Rd24: Dogs (h)
Rd25: Knights (h)

And would seal top 4 with 4/4

Our negative points diff requires Dragons to lose 2 of those games and us win 4/4.

Plus both Sharks and Panthers also need to drop 2 games if they win tomorrow.

Depending on points diff Broncos also need to drop a game.

The reality is that all teams from 4-8 are in interchangeable positions.

We have 4 very winnable games, and IF we do that well more than likely be 4th or 5th so I really hope that's what the boys are focusing on.

I think that Titans game and bad call against us in the Sharks game are gunna come back to haunt us
