I remember finals footy, and the last few Warriors games have felt like finals footy to me!

This weekend at Robina will be no different, I hope we get a bumper 'home' crowd.

Guys I think you just need to stop over analyzing and realize the hard cold truth that we will miss the finals by a cats whisker.

Probably.

And if we get in, we'll probably be eliminated in week 1.

But we're just keeping track of which results are favourable and which aren't

that draw last night from the titans has the fat lady warming up her vocals for us im afraid

I don't think their spot is the one we're auditioning for.

For me, it's us and the Panthers for 8th spot. If the Titans win 3, they're very likely 7th unless the Broncos continue to shit the bed, and then they'll be facing an elimination game in Brisbane. Maybe a good result for them to not have to travel.

If we'd lost on Saturday night it would've been pretty much fat lady's first few bars. But as it stands, if either us or the Panthers win 3, the Tigers probably have to win 4 or belt someone (us or Penrith would work). Manly are probably gone, they'd have to win 4 as well and have a whole host of results go for them.

The way I see it, it's either us or Penrith playing the Dogs. I think I'd prefer that to the Broncos, presuming they find some late season form.

And yeah, as JJ says - it's no great celebration to finish 8th (9th) anyway. Unless we win in week one. If we're 8th and out, it's a shit season. Look at the Raiders - can anyone say they're a better roster than us? Not in my opinion. They're just better coached and play a brand that shit I wish we could. I'd love to see us hump the Bunnies like they did.

Not if we beat them.

They don't have the easiest of run homes- a few banana peels to slip on.

Knights (a)- ummm, the Knights are due?

Just had a play with the ladder predictor. If we beat Tits this weekend, and do what we should with the rest of our games (win all bar Cowboys) we could finish as high as 6th. If we drop this game, we'll probably be fighting it out with Panthers and Tigers for 8th.

Haha, I don't think the Knights are due. They're just one of, if not the worst NRL side of all-time (and not of the current coaching team's doing, mind you). However, they have been a proud side at home, won their only game there plus pushed the likes of top 3 sides Melbourne, Raiders etc. So for the Panthers (who I think have the Knights at Hunter too) they might not be able to count on a massive points diff boost.

Dragons loss was also helpful.
Just need Tigers to lose as well.
And hope we get the job done against Titans having won the last 10 of 11 games and 5 straight at Robins.
But the Luke and Hayne factors probably more influentially.

The Dragons are gone. Even if they win all of their remaining games their for and against is awful, they'll still finish on 28 points with a differential of -100 or worse and that likely won't be enough. Manly have to win all of of theirs to have any chance so pretty much put a line through them too.
Basically it's two out of the Titans, us, Pathers and Tigers now.
