It's looking like we'll be finishing 8th on the table and playing the Storm or Roosters.
Doesn’t 8th play 5th?

I hope we play the Storm and beat them for sandbagging against the Panthers

You're probably right. Dunno how the playoff systems works now-a-days since my team hasn't been there since 2011.
-
Top 4 play off , losers get a second chance , winners get week off ,
Bottom 4 play off , losers gone , winners play losers from top 4 ,
its a system that rewards the higher placed sides more

I know its a world of could of should of would of. I just can't shake that shit miss call at the death in warriors vs sharks game. We would have been fourth and sharks would have been in the 5th-8th spot.
If we somehow managed to win the bulldogs game would have been minor premiers (but we lost that fair and square).
Am glad its unlikely we will face brisbane much rather dragons or Panthers. Dragons are injury ridden and were shit against an understregnth knights.
-
How shit is that, basically everybody wins, so we stay 8th.
Panthers away will still be tough unfortunately, would much rather have got the Dragons.
So many teams in the 8 i don't want to see win the comp!!
-
I just read that. Outstanding scheduling.
But i guess given the other constraints, Warriors fans were the easiest to overlook.
-
@bovidae The NRL couldn't have rigged the draw a bit to ensure the Warriors don't go head-to-head with the ABs?
I'm actually going to go the game, my league tragic mates nagged me enough, so I'll record the ABs and head straight home to watch it - I will punch anyone who tells me the score in the kisser. TBH, if the ABs were playing Oz or the Boks I wouldn't go to the game.
-
I’m gonna love all the Aussie league media talking up the Panthers all week. Cleary is their new darling and the same ol cliches will come out about the Warriors. And of course we will only be a hope if Aussie Blake plays!
Warriors by 6.
-
Only thing I'm worried about is Mallony being back in the mix. If we get our shit together we can make life hard for him and Cleary but if they get a bit of front foot ball...
Super glad we dodged the Broncos, they are on the up form-wise.
-
If they can win a premiership from 8th will be a magnificent effort ,
Basically have to win 4 games in consecutive weeks in Australia,
Tough ask
-
@kiwiinmelb weren't we the first team to make the finals from 8th? This would just be one better!!

Our away record is actually pretty good this year. Won our first 3 games on the road this season.
Also saw somewhere that of the top 8, we had the hardest draw this year and had played 5 of the other 7 top 8 teams twice. No other team in the 8 had to do that. Panthers the softest draw with only having to play 3 of the other 7 teams in the top 8 twice
