If we win both games and Melbourne drops 1 we finish 4th depending on f/a.

Next week against Broncos could determine it. They should absolutely destroy the titans this week and give themselves a buffer.
Don’t think Brisbane have beat the storm in over 12 years or something. Their record against them is diabolical.

True, Munster in a packed Suncorp the week before finals won't make it any easier either.

Latrell gets a week. Bye next week so he misses last rd against Roosters. Souths lose that and they miss finals.

32 pts gets you in top 8. Raiders are on 32pts and safe despite a poor F/A. Souths and Roosters are both on 28pts with Souths having a bye this week and Roosters a winnable game against Tigers. Both will be on 30pts come last round. They play each other meaning winner is on 32pts.

The only other team is Cows who are on 28pts and play a winnable Dolphins this week making them also 30pts however they play Panthers away who will want minor premiership in front of their crowd. Do not see Cows winning.

As both loser of Souths v Roosters and Cows will be stuck on 30pts this would make Knights safe without having to win another game. Even if they lose to us this week, they have a winnable last game against Dragons.

If the Broncos get knocked over by Canberra this week, can see Penrith resting plenty for the Cows game.

Broncos play Thursday night in the last round, Panthers Saturday night, so even if the Broncos beat Canberra, if they lose to Melbourne they'll give Penrith the chance to rest a few.

Thought we were safe. Looking closer it would take a monumental **** up and over 100+ f/a swing for the cowboys to jump us and for us to finish 9th. Surely that can't happen, right?

I was thinking the same thing. Even if we lost our two games and those on 28 came up equal with us, surely our F/A is better.

**** me, get on this Sharks!!

The Manly Sea Eagles and St George Illawarra Dragons are vying for the services of former Cronulla premiership-winner Michael Ennis to join their coaching staff as an assistant next season.

Ennis has spoken to both clubs about the prospect of becoming a full-time assistant coach for the first time in his post-playing career and could be on the move at the end of the season.

Apparently Latrell should have copped only a fine 'cause we need all our stars at the pointy end of the season (as per Mark 'Spud' Carroll).
