Out of this lot, we should be able to beat the Broncos, Eels, Storm and the Cowboys.. This week we should beat the Warriors.. If we win all those games would finish on 28 points, thats with the bye.. That should get us 7th or 8th spot..
Beating the Roosters, Dragons and Bulldogs arent impossible they would just be bonus games to win.. If we beat one of those teams we may well end up finishing 6th.. All of those games 5th, top 4? We'll soon see..

There is no reason why we can't win all of them. To be realistic we won't, but the point still stands that they are each winable games. By seasons end, I'd expect us to be in a better position then 8th :!:

 

[Macca]

I agree with that wholeheartedly.

IMO the loss to Souths is what Sharkies fans will be ruing most at seasons end.

As a Raiders fan, we are on the same points and play Cowboys, Manly, Warriors, Souths and the Knights, all sides below us on the table. We also have the bye in round 25 and our tough games are agains Melbourne, Penrith and the Roosters so the race to the finals could be very interesting.

Your win over the Knights has made the job pretty hard for the Knights IMO and the rest outside the eight are not much of a chance.

 

[Sharkies all the Way]

we don't have to beat the Roosters or the Dragons

We wont have to but we will

I think we will be in the top 8, my prediction is wins against Warriors, Eels, Bye, Cowboys. I think we have chances against the Bronco's and Storm as well. One thing is for sure, we will need to start performing against the good sides. My worry is the warriors, they won last week and may get on a roll

Yep, and the week before v the Cowboys as well.

Four points gone begging, and a fair chunk of for/against as well. We would currently be in equal 4th spot comparing F/A with Penrith and Melbourne...

The game against the Warriors this week is a must win game.. We cant afford to drop a game we are expected to win and should win quite comfortably..

The Knights have the easiest run to the line than all of us!

Every game is important from now on or until all the others drop off...

Makes for some exciting games ahead,If the Queens dont fire up from now on they could well miss out as well 8) ....and the Penny Panthers arent outta the woods nor is Storm.

Realistic view shows that the last 2 spots are going to be between Sharks Knights Raiders as I reckon the Tige's are goooorne!

The Tigers also have a very soft run home.

If we don't make every post a winner, they could easily catch us.

While I agree that we are zeroing in on 6th, 7th or 8th, we could also be looking at 10th or 11th if we let ANY chance slip.

We MUST beat the Warriors. If not, it's all over.

 

[Jimbo]

We will beat the Warriors, that's a given.

What the lads need to make sure of is that they play the full 80 minutes this week, and post a big score. Our For/Against needs it. No more ten minute lapses.
