I need to work this out. I'm going to assume the Cowboys beat the Sharks on Monday.
Let's say we beat the Titans 1 - 0 today. The ladder will look like this...
Cowboys - 30 pts, +175, 5th (plus whatever F/A boost they get from the Sharks)
Storm - 30 pts, +66, 6th
Bulldogs - 30 pts, +8, 7th
Broncos - 28 pts, +103, 8th
Warriors - 28 pts, +54, 9th
Eels - 28 pts, -90, 10th
The key games in Round 26 are...
Broncos vs Storm
Raiders vs Eels
Titans vs Bulldogs
Panthers vs Warriors
So if the Storm win, we'd just need to beat the Panthers to jump over the Broncos.
If the Broncos win, we'd need either the Titans to beat the Bulldogs and / or a favourable F/A over the Storm - plus a win over the Panthers of course. This means two wins could still leave us 9th or best results would have us finishing 7th.
An 8th place finish would see us away to the 5th placed team - which could end up being the Panthers, presuming they lose to Manly today.
I know I'm a bit delusional, but I'm still keeping the faith
