4 on the trot and still bloody 8th!

[Flippedy]

This really sucks! Newcastle playing a game of 'what you can do, we can do better!'

 

[Marshall_magic]

Top 8 is basically locked up, equal with 7th and 6th on points, 3 points shy of 5th and 4 points outside the top 4\. We're in a great position to be honest. Until round 26 position on the table is not really an issue compared to how many points below/above the key cut-offs you are. I'd rather be 8th 4 points clear of 9th than 5th and only ahead of 9th on f/a.

 

[Bazzinator]

good thing is the teams above us have to play one another so they will take points off one another and if we keep winning we can only go up

 

[21sixers]

yeah but i will say it again,all we can do is control what we do in this competition!!
warriors dropped to equal points with us and newcastle but are beating us on for an against
but guess what…warriors play newcastle next week so 1 of them will lose or best case scenario
they draw nil all(pftttt) but again it comes back to WHAT WE CAN CONTROL which is winning our
match against penrith!!! :sign:

 

[GlennC]

Yep just beat Penrith and we will rise. I think we are in a great position now.

 

[GNR4LIFE]

we've had our turn of playing teams in the 8,now its the Knights turn
all the Tigers have to do is win,if they continue to win they'll finish atleast 6th

 

[prattenpark]

We have to beat Penrith this week. Dogs play Sharks and Souths play Raiders - they could both (if souths win tomorrow) be one win behind us if we don't win this weekend.

 

[smoking_gun]

If we win our last 4 we are a good chance of 5th

 

[LARDS]

If we win our last 4 we are a good chance of 5th

and a possibility of 4th

 

[LaT]

I am concerned we are playing our semi's too far out. I hope we can maintain and make a real run during September.

 

[Jazza]

I think once the sides around us start playing each other, the ladder will spread out a bit.
In the coming weeks, besides our matches, the crucial one's shape up to be:

Next week:
Broncos vs Cowboys
Warriors vs Knights

Rd 24:
Rabbitohs vs Cowboys
Panthers vs Warriors
Knights vs Broncos

Rd 25:
Broncos vs Rabbitohs
Bulldogs vs Knights
Dragons vs Warriors

Rd 26:
Dragons vs Panthers
Warriors vs Cowboys
Knights vs Rabbitohs
