Highly unlikely

Still a chance

As I said a week or so back.

This whole season has been engineered for the blockbuster, no holds barred game between Easts and Souffs in the final round.

One wonders if Latrine deliberately turned in that performance this afternoon. Maybe a bit of cash in it for him?

Take a pill if you don't have one go back to the doc

Seems like everyone in the media is talking about the Souths v Easts game as the battle for the 8th position..

It looks like everyone has forgotten about the Cowboys.

If they beat the Dolphins and a weakened Penrith team in the last game then both Easts and South’s are out..

Looks like too big a hill to climb in my opinion.

All depends as there are a few permutations possible depending on Results.

Raiders and Knights have to win 1 more game to qualify for the Finals

Roosters and Cowboys have to win both their games to be a chance of playing Finals

Souths have to win their final game to be a chance of playing finals

If Penrith and Brisbane are level on points going into the last round - Will they or won't they rest players - Especially Penrith ? - All depends on who they may want to play first week of the Finals

Sharks have to win 1 more game to qualify for the finals - could well be playing for 4th place in the last round vs Raiders if they beat Newcastle which will be what the Roosters would want - Storm play Brisbane in the last round

One would think Penrith will run a team of reserve graders in the last round having first or second spot locked in giving them a home final.

I don't know why the Cowboys have been forgotten about but like you I think they will be in the eight at the expense of Souths or us.

Thankfully losing is not in the current Panthers DNA.

A glimmer of hope with Panthers already resting players this week, and hopefully next week.

IMO our best chance is Raiders losing last two games. I am hoping Knights beat Sharks next week so that Sharks are playing Raiders in final round for a home final. That is assuming Broncos beat Raiders next week. Hard to see Broncos resting players after a bye.

Let's beat the Tigers first.

Yes,also Canberra have the worst differential of all teams so if they lose their next 2 games the passage opens..

[NorfolkStreetKid]

A Dogs win would be handy

They could have won..... had plenty of chances but are dumb as dogshiit.

[rented tracksuit]

Watching it... Fark Souffs get away with everything!!!

Saifiti eventually scored but Souffs were all over at least 3 play the balls, preventing obvious tries by doing so. Even with this they're getting beaten.

Did I hear somebody say Souffs were the form team mid-season or that we don't deserve a spot in the 8? Dunno what they're doing to prove they're any more deserving than us!!!

That was probably Mickey.

[rented tracksuit]

What a massive game it will be in 2 weeks.

Tough one for you mate. Which way you going?

[HunchoRooster]

I also think the Cowboys will be the team that might actually be our undoing. The Dolphins wanted the season to end about 6 weeks ago. They are the worst team in the comp at present given their injury toll and lack of squad depth. I guess we can hope that the Riff won't rest anyone if they are playing for a minor premiership?

Raiders do not belong in the 8. They are a terrible side, I have no idea how they are where they are. No spark, no creativity. They don't defend well either. Apart from that win in Brisbane eons ago at the start of year, I've seen absoultely nothing from them. Scraping past a battered Dogs side aswell says it all. If they lose their next 2 games (which I think they will), either Souffs or us will take their spot.

The fact we are having this conversation despite our talented squad says it all!

[roosterproud]

Now all we need is the cows , naughts, and faiders to lose their next 2 games and for us to beat wests and then souffs. 32 points.
souffs have the bye and they have lost both their games after the bye.
faders have drongos and the shire. 2 possible losses. Possibly without knee drop rapana/slater.
cows have dolfins the then the riff
knaghts have the shire and merge

ahhhh farkit. LETS ROOSTERS.......
