I like option 1 playing souffs again for the minor premiership, theyre already settling into choke mode again!

Do Souths have to lose against the Doggies for us to play them for the MP?Comment

If we beat Melbourne and Souths beat the Dogs then for and against means nothing. It all depends on whether Manly lose one of their games against Panthers (H) or Cowboys (A). If they do then the last game against Souths will be for the minor premiership. Because we play Souths on the Thursday the minor premiership may be decided on Saturday night when Manly play the Cowboys.Comment

No, we're the same points and just ......7 behind on +-...Manly are 2 points ahead and they have the Riff and Cows...not tooo shabby. I think they will not win the PMOriginally posted by Bansai Pipeline View Post

I give the Panthers a chance against Manly next week.
Would be good if Melbourne beat Penrith tomorrow.Comment

Thats a good possibility re storm v riff. They have been lucky with an average side and plenty of injuries 2B where they are. The storm will test those weaknesses and no more 1 point wins for the riffsOriginally posted by Johnny Tobin View PostComment

I reckon Storm will beat Panthers.
We'll beat the Storm.
And the Dogs will do Souths.
So assuming Manly drop one or two, the final round will be a matter of points between us and Souths.
I think that makes sense?
I'm a big fan of the MP. Like Gould, I reckon its undervalued.Comment

To think how ordinary we've been and that we're still in a position to snag the minor premiership is mind blowing.
We've got a fair few gears left too...Comment

It's more likely than not that we will win the Minor Premiership.
And I think it could be a record as far as the team that wins it having the most losses.
Just as exciting is the possibility that if Souffs lose the next two they could miss the top 4.
I have said for a while that we can win it at 80% but if we can get to those missing gears it will really be a treat.Comment

But can the 'riff get it together one last time to beat Manly at Brookie the following week? I don't think so.Originally posted by ROC181 View Post
But I do think the Cows will do a job on them in the last round up there.Comment

The situation is as follows:Originally posted by Johnny Tobin View Post
IF STORM BEAT PANTHERS TONIGHT
Rd 25 - we have to beat Storm
Rd 26 - we have to beat Souths
...and we need Manly to lose at least one of their last two games (Panthers and Cowboys). If this happens, we will finish on 36, and Penrith and Manly can both finish on no higher than 36. Our F/A is far better than both of them and two wins would only make it better.
IF PANTHERS BEAT STORM TONIGHT
Rd 25 - we have to beat Storm
Rd 26 - we have to beat Souths
...and we need whoever wins the Manly vs Panthers match in Rd 25 to lose in Rd 26 (Manly play Cowboys, Panthers play Warriors). If this happens, likewise we finish on 36, and again Penrith and Manly can both finish on no higher than 36 and will fall victim to our strong F/A.
The other very intriguing match, of course, if Bulldogs vs Souths next week. If Bulldogs win, then good. If Souths win, however, and the other cards fall as they may (Storm win tonight and Panthers win next week, for example), then it sets up a Roosters v Souths minor premiership battle in Rd 26. THIS is what we want!Comment

Mack, those permutations are invalid unless you give us the likely starting lineups.Comment

Well it will be a team on a slump v a team on a wing and a prayer.Originally posted by Johnny Tobin View PostComment

The Mack is BACK!!!
I've said it all year Top 4 with a fit team and go from there.
With a probable all Sydney top 4 positions 1-4 might not matter.
Good news is we are finally fit and playing some decent footy, if that continues no matter where we finish we are going to be tough to beat.Comment

Our destiny is in our own hands.
If we win our last 2 we will be minor premiers.Comment
