Maybe it's the safety of a guaranteed finals spot, but I'm finding the last 5 rounds / Top-8 sh*tfight totally hilarious.
Quick recap with 5 rounds to go ...
4th = Cowboys - 26pts (+82)
5th = Brisbane - 26pts (+62)
6th = Manly - 26pts (+35)
7th = Cronulla - 25pts (-12)
8th = Gold Coast - 22pts (-2)
9th = Knights - 22pts (-4)
10th = Wests Tigers - 22pts (-35)
11th = St George - 22pts (-50)
12th = Warriors - 20pts (+23)
13th = Canberra - 20pts (-69)
The games below in bold are matches where these teams play each other, thus affecting the potential make-up of the finals.
Cowboys = Manly (H), Warriors (H), St.George (A), Knights (H), Cronulla (A)
Brisbane = Canberra (A), Bulldogs (A), Storm (H), Manly (A), Penrith (H)
Manly = Cowboys (A), Souths (A), Knights (H), Brisbane (H), Gold Coast (A)
Cronulla = Warriors (A), Knights (A), Souths (H), Storm (A), Cowboys (H)
Gold Coast = Souths (H), Storm (A), Parra (H), Penrith (A), Manly (H)
Knights = Bulldogs (H), Cronulla (H), Manly (A), Cowboys (A), Souths (H)
Wests = Parra (H), St.George (H), Bulldogs (A), Roosters (A), Storm (H)
St.George = Roosters (A), Tigers (A), Cowboys (H), Warriors (H), Parra (A)
Warriors = Cronulla (H), Cowboys (A), Penrith (H), St.George (A), Canberra (H)
Canberra = Brisbane (H), Penrith (A), Roosters (H), Bulldogs (H), Warriors (A)
Ultimately, I think Cowboys are a shoe-in to make it, and Canberra will bomb out of contention this week unless they beat Brisbane. But for now, this is the list of "mathematical chances". At this stage, teams 1-3 WILL make it, and teams 14-16 WON'T.
