Top 8 hail mary shot - what needs to happen in the final 3 rounds

[jof]

Taken from Reddit. In this scenario Knights finish 7th and us 8th. Warriors have to win one game out of their two listed but not both.

I saw another scenario where we finished 7th.

You can get $151 to 1 for it if you're a punter.

I went 5001 to 1 for the Premiership. If we make the finals, we win the whole thing as far as I'm concerned.

I still remember sitting next to the radio listening the dogs beat the Steelers in 98 when I was 12 to make the 8. If we make it this year it will be one of the best comebacks.

This would have to be the greatest comeback of all time. To be in 15th/16th 99% of the year and make the 8...

Only Eels 2009 and Bulldogs 1998 could come close.

Sorry I was wrong, https://www.thekennel.net.au/forum/index.php?threads/miracles-happen.113966/ , different 7th team tho.

Would be an amazing outcome. The main challenge I see (apart from us having to win all 3) - Cows beat Cats & Kiwis beat Sharks (R23) as well as Tigpies beat Sharks (R25). Not impossible but the odds reflect the probability, so on that note I’ll get on! Giddy up!

We don’t beat parra we die youse know that but dream on if we get close I reakon for and against kills us

 

[Straight to the point]

This is childish and it’s not going to happen.

I was going to refute your claims, but then I saw your username, and now your comment makes sense.

You’re probably not wrong though.

 

[Raysie]

Can you imagine we win our next 3 games and don't make the 8? It's actually a high chance of happening.

 

[Bluebody]

It would be easier to thread a camel through the eye of a needle.

Make the top 10 LOL.

I remember that also.

Funny fact...

Last team to beat Illawarra Steelers as a stand along club = Bulldogs

The following week in 1998 we knocked out St George... Last team to beat St George Dragons as a stand alone club = Bulldogs

 

[liljohny]

Just imagine if we had of made the most of the opportunity against a Manly reserve grade team and raiders reserve grade team....

Evens up Souths and Penrith win unexpected by the majority not us though

 

[Baseball Furies]

So much optimism in this thread, hard to believe we’re talking about the same team as the one from about 6 weeks ago...

People are we forgetting our for and against ?
