Lets be honest here with Parramatta making it a Top 9 this year the chance to make the finals has never been more there for the taking. 11 wins might even get you there, but more likely 12.
The way I'm reading it we need to finish ahead of St. George, Penrith and the Titans to make finals. This is even considering that the Warriors and Raiders make it ahead of us . Now that is something that we should be relishing in Saints, Penrith, Gold Coast - 3 pretty average sides that I think we have covered talent wise. There is no reason we cant finish above these sides.
The good news is we play all these 5 sides in the run in. We get to take 2 points off them if were good enough.
Its such a shame this week is spoilt by the dead rubber Origin which to me significently puts a dampener on our chances of building momentum at the right time of the year. If we beat the Dogs I would have confidently said were on track to make this Top 8\. However from 7-10 it will be a mountain to climb.
Young Edward , this team will get my attention in regards to Top 8 aspirations if they win this week
We still need to find away to fix our for and against , things were looking up briefly on Saturday , but fell away late
