Manly play Penrith Rd 26. If Saints and Manly win this week, Saints will be on 28, Manly 30 Penrith 30. After Round 26, only Manly or Penrith can get to 32 one will stay on 30 and Saints need to beat dogs to get to 30 with a much better for and against. Saints need to beat the Penny Panthers which will be tough. Also if Cows beat Warriors (I think their under 8's can probably beat Warriors) they will be on 30 pts. They play Bronco's in round 26. Will Bennett rest players? God knows maybe he will to let another QLD team in the 8.
That Tyrone May is a gun. He won them both games against the Cows and Raiders. He is the super sub to look out for.
The good thing is if Saints beat Penrith, they will know their fate next week before they play the Dogs.
It would be better to get 7th than 8th. 7th will probably play Parra and they have touched them up twice this year.
