St. George Illawarra Dragons
7th. 18pts. -24
Round 19: Titans (H)
Round 20: Rabbitohs (H)
Round 21: Raiders (A)
Round 22: Panthers (H)
Round 23: Roosters (H)
Round 24: Cowboys (H)
Round 25: Rabbitohs (A)
The Dragons’ first season under the tutelage of Anthony Griffin has been an inconsistent one, but they have exceeded expectations.
Untimely injuries and suspensions have not made things easy, but disappointing losses to the Bulldogs, Tigers, Warriors and Sharks could well hurt them come season’s end.
Still have a few weeks of suspension interruptions as players pay the penalty for a COVID breach and face a tough run home that features clashes with the Panthers, Roosters and Rabbitohs twice.
Cronulla-Sutherland Sharks
8th. 16pts. -60
Round 19: Bulldogs (A)
Round 20: Sea Eagles (H)
Round 21: Warriors (A)
Round 22: Knights (H)
Round 23: Tigers (A)
Round 24: Broncos (H)
Round 25: Storm (H)
The Sharks are another side that have put a slow start behind them and now have their eyes on the finals.
Clinging to the edge of the eight, the Sharks missed a huge opportunity to put a gap in the bottom half of the draw when they went down to the Raiders in round 18.
They still have a very favourable run home, with just two of their final seven matches against current top-eight teams and three games against sides sitting in the bottom three.
Canberra Raiders
9th. 16pts. -74
Round 19: Eels (A)
Round 20: Knights (A)
Round 21: Dragons (H)
Round 22: Storm (A)
Round 23: Sea Eagles (H)
Round 24: Warriors (A)
Round 25: Roosters (H)
Consecutive wins over Manly and Cronulla draws them level with the eighth-placed Sharks on points.
The Raiders have endured a frustrating season, with much of the mojo that got them to a grand final two years ago appearing to have worn off with just five wins in the first 16 rounds.
Five of their final seven games come against current top-eight sides, including away clashes against Parramatta and Melbourne.
Newcastle Knights
10th. 16pts. -137
Round 19: Roosters (A)
Round 20: Raiders (H)
Round 21: Broncos (H)
Round 22: Sharks (A)
Round 23: Bulldogs (A)
Round 24: Titans (H)
Round 25: Broncos (A)
Their confidence and differential each took a big hit at the hands of a ruthless Melbourne in a tough round 18 but they are still level with eighth-placed Cronulla on points.
Tyson Frizell is back but Kalyn Ponga, David Klemmer, Mitch Pearce and Dan Saifiti were missed against the Storm.
The draw is quite kind to them for the run home, with meetings against the Broncos twice, as well as the Titans and Bulldogs on the menu.
Gold Coast Titans
11th. 14pts. -74
Round 19: Dragons (A)
Round 20: Bulldogs (A)
Round 21: Cowboys (H)
Round 22: Rabbitohs (A)
Round 23: Storm (H)
Round 24: Knights (A)
Round 25: Warriors (H)
It's one step forward and two steps back for the Titans, who were outplayed by the Eels in round 18 to keep them a win adrift of the finals zone.
They still sit just two points outside the eight though and the run home provides the Titans with an opportunity to jump up the standings, with four of their seven remaining games coming against sides around them on the ladder.
Wests Tigers
12th. 14pts. -130
Round 19: Sea Eagles (A)
Round 20: Warriors (H)
Round 21: Bulldogs (A)
Round 22: Cowboys (A)
Round 23: Sharks (H)
Round 24: Panthers (A)
Round 25: Bulldogs (H)
Climbed two ladder spots in round 18 with an impressive win over Brisbane sparked by Adam Doueihi's return to the halves to snap a three-game losing streak.
Remarkably still just a win outside the eight, further clashes against the Bulldogs (twice), Broncos again plus Warriors and Cowboys will keep Tigers' fans dreams alive for now.
