3 wins and we should make the top 4

We are competing with Cowboys , Dragons and Warriors for the last position

Cowboys play Souths, Sharks and Warriors and with Souths current form and playing the Warriors they could well loose at least 1

Dragons are in horrible form and play Storm, Warriors and Panthers and are only 1 point in front of us so we should be ahead of them

Warriors - Play the 2 above and the Panthers and probably won't win all 3

So given we are playing 3 of the lower ranked teams we should win and hopefully win well and are probably looking at the very least we should be 5th but 4th and a home final against either the Warriors and Cowboys who would be away would be a fantastic result and off winning 8 in a row we could be in with a real shot of winning our first semi and moving forward mayby even a chance of a week off given the teams who will be in 6th and 7th
 
I did the NRL calculator just before and gave us 3 wins and was surprised that put us in fourth. Would be great to grab a home final!
 
I'm hoping for a top 5 finish.. It's do able..
Would be nice for those 3 teams to lose next weekend and us jump them, but I don't want the team to get ahead of themselves.
Hopefully this week we can at least just string together a consistent 80 minutes.
As always the boys should just concentrate on their own game and whatever else happens happens.
 
It is possible and I am hopeful, but lets not get too carried away.
We need to beat the Eels on Sunday first. They will not want to finish with their first wooden spoon for about 30 years, so will rip in. They have nothing to lose.

Same with the Gold Coast game. We have to remain focused and make sure we win. Other results will take care of themselves..
 
Either way the chances are were going to play st choke at the sfs, Whether we finish fifth or fourth soo i dont really think it matters to much besides the fact that it sounds and looks good to finish in the top 4 in a pretty a strong comp this year. Either way bring on the semis!! :slight_smile:
 
When you are relying on other results you will always struggle. I cannot see us finishing fourth. I agree with Pratten Park, we need to focus on winning our games.

Shane our points for and against is only 25 points different from the Cowboys and they play Souths away and Knights away No lay down miseres there
 
At least by Sunday with Storm v Dragons, Souths v Cowgirls on Friday and Panthers v Warriors on Sat

we will know if we can leap a few teams with a win over the Eels. Could be the extra motivation we need to avoid complacency especially if the Dragons, Cowboys and Warriors all win

I have not seen the Parra v Manly game but it seems that Parra put in a much better effort - so we will have to play better than we did against Penrith.
 
It id very likly that we may find the Tigers in 5th place next week.

Warriors dont travel that well and If the Panthers get a few players back…You never know

Melb Vs Drags...????

Are the storm Due for a loss or will the dragons will continue their spiral...

I'm expecting the Dragons to keep heading down, but the Storm are due for a loss. It's a hard call. In so far as us are concerned, go the Storm!

And go the Bunnies and Panthers!
 
if we win all 3 (by no means a given) i reckon we will finish 4th (possibly 5th), if we drop even 1 we'll be 6th or 7th, these next 3 games are critical,

Spartan I would not be surprised if they rest Luke Lewis or get his surgery on his shoulder done now that they can't make semis
If they do you are taking the heart and soul out of Penrith and I will be surprised if they win another game all season to be honest
 
Melbourne would be scary Bogan . Suncorp ,Townsville and Auckland doesn't worry me
We have won our last starts on all of these grounds
