Top 4 chances.

[coolumsharkie]

Ok so we all know from the past that when we get into any half decent position to make the top 4, history will tell you that we usually cock it up royal but it still is worth discussing the next 2 rounds.

Warriors need to lose both games Dragons and Dolphins
Storm need to lose one, Titans and Broncos
We need to win both so losing means we lose any chance of getting there unless Storm lose both and we win one. (I think) Lots of other variables with the teams below us and I think we can still miss out all together but it seem unlikely.

F/A is a non issue as we all are similar and will end up with more f/a if one of those scenarios happen provided we win both.

I honestly think I'd rather us finish 5th and one home game.
Let's face it, anyone playing Penrith at home for the first week is pretty much doomed.

Unless Storm lose one, Warriors lose both and we end up playing the Broncos in Vegas. Yeah nah also.

 

[coolumsharkie]

The situation for teams below are interesting also.

Raiders (30) play Dogs (today) Broncos and us
Knights (29), Us and then Dragons
Rabbits (28), Knight, Bye and Roosters
Cows (28) are pharked as they play Dolphins then Panthers
Roosters (28) play Tigers and Souffs

It’ll probably come down to Wade’s last game at shark park on a sunny Sunday Father’s Day afternoon in a couple of weeks. We’ll probably wear bright orange jersey’s and lose by a field goal in the 89th minute

Agree. Finishing 4th and getting belted by Penrith isn't the bonus it's made out to be. Run 5th and play Newcastle in Sydney is a good deal.

 

[toomuchsoup]

Penrith although being clear favourites to win it, are still beatable. I’d take 4th and 2 bites at the cherry over 5th and sudden death any day. Jag a win and straight to a prelim

We've won a comp from the Top 4. Let's do it from the bottom half this year.

 

[coolumsharkie]

We could be in the position of playing Raiders twice in a row.

No thankyou

 

[roboshark]

We will get Klein this week you watch

 

[SharkShocked]

We are no certainty to win either of the last two matches. Both will be tough.

 

[Go Nulla]

No doubt whatsoever.

We are no certainty to win either of the last two matches. Both will be tough.

The last ‘certainty’ I expected was when I went to see the Dolphins game (Magic Round).

Then, last week the Tigers just beat the Dolphins, so…

Both games ahead of us will be tough, but still winnable.

I reckon the lessons learned whilst being beaten (twice) by the Warriors will come in real handy.

I’m kinda confident that we’ll beat Newcastle, but I’m never confident against the Raiders…

 

[cb4]

Win both and we are 4th. Lose one and we are 6th.
Lose both and we are 8th baring a miracle.
Our biggest strength right now on our points is our for and against. Roosters need to make up a lot of ground, Canberra as well and they can't afford to drop a game, despite having a tough run in.
At a minimum, we will host an elimination final is how I see the season playing out.

 

[Craigshark]

If we do get a home final, will it be at shark park or sfs?

 

[SharkShocked]

Unless they changed their mind from last year. I’d say it’s at home again.

Newcastle on old boys day......

Newcastle on old boys day......

Will Gids be there?

Playing panthers round 1 of finals means you don’t have to lose to them again until the GF.
