I've commissioned my grandchild, who is 5, to run the numbers.
According to Albert, with 6 rounds to go, the reality is as follows:
Wests Tigers 18 points
St George 10 points
Wests Tigers still have a BYE, so if we lose all 5 remaining matches we end up on 20 points (Our F/A will be approaching Australia's Budget deficit by then!)
St George can get to 22 points if they win all 6 of their remaining games (incl vs WTs) or 20 if they only win 5.
If Saints do win all 6, then Wests Tigers need to win at least 2 games vs Eels, Roosters, Cowboys or Penrith to avoid the Spoon, because our F/A is really bad and if the Drags do win 5 or 6 then it is likely they'll eat into their deficit.
St George play Dolphins, Sharks, Tigers, Dogs, Eagles, Eels.
The Maths is simple - We MUST beat the Dragons, which will guarantee us 22 points and put the Dragons' Spoon avoidance plans to rest.
SPOONBOWL 2026, Sunday 16th August 3.35 pm at Commbank Stadium, is gonna be a classic!
Thank you, Albert, who advised that should the Drags get beaten by the Dolphins & Sharks before Spoonbowl, then we are safe.
