Who makes the Finals - FLOW CHART showing all scenarios

[CrittaMagic69]

Its just the way the comp is, the Storm can also make the top 4 and miss the top 8 completley. Would you call them sh1t?

Idgaf about the Storm, we have not improved so it is another shit season for us under supercoach Des

Yeah, I can see your point but If we make it to Week 2 of the finals, its a better achievement "technically" than 2013 at least. But yes, that doesnt mean we have improved

 

[Slick]

iirc someone said that if we beat the Titans then we've won one more game than last year.

Ergo, improvement

is there a chance that storm and broncos could play each othe back2back?

Yes, even Roosters & Souths could play each other first week of finals

 

[CrittaMagic69]

Yes, even Roosters & Souths could play each other first week of finals

Hope they both happen, will be interesting to see how much difference a week makes.

Realistically id like Warriors to beat Panthers by whatever amount, Storm to beat the Gronks and Cows to beat Manly, This shifts Cows to 4 Storm to 5 and Panthers to 6 and WHEN we win we stay at 7. We verse panthers first week finals in Sydney at the SFS. Better then versing storm in VIC OR cows over there.

I mean I don't see Warriors putting a big score on the Panthers and broncos beating storm and Cows losing to Manly for us to sneak in the four, so id be happy with my first scenario

 

[Slippery]

i can't believe we can still miss the finals, another shit season. What is the excuse this year?

Refs, apparently.

Panthers will be at ANZ for their home finals I believe.

 

[old school dog]

No big wins this weekend. Rain will guarantee that.

Even better

This comp is so close
A win and certain things going our way we can finish in the top four

If we lose and everything goes against us we will be out of the 8

And this is the last round
Never seen it this tight before

I will be good with this, since next year we have a couple of new players that will hopefully see us improve again. As long as we are going forwards.

Interesting!!

 

[maghus123]

Surprisingly if we do make the 8

It will be the first time we make it to the finals 3 years straight in a very long time

 

[yearofthedog]

If penrith didn't lose to the sharks both times they would of took the number one , weird .........

Refs, apparently.

More so injuries, SOO and suspensions.

No Pritchard for most of the season. Several weeks without other key forwards, Tolman, Klemmer, Browne and Kasiano. Reynolds missed about 8 games (but he's shit so that's a positive to some) Mbye was out for a while, the backline has been different on almost a weekly basis. Stanley and Morris out for extended periods. Hokko out for origin.

Considering all that, we've done well so far. If we make the finals it will be a good achievement. The only other team to have had such a horror run with injury, yet will play finals is Penrith. They have also had a soft draw and have had their best two players (Soward and Moylan) for every game I think.

Souths, Manly, Storm and Roosters haven't had nearly as many injuries as us and haven't performed much better. Now Manly have lost Ballin and Buhrer, I can't see them doing much. Same but to a lesser extent if Roosters don't get Friend back in time. Cowboys, Broncos and Souths are pretty healthy, as are the Warriors.

Warriors and Broncos are just two teams that are better than us yet we're ahead of them.

Considering all of this, there really shouldn't be the amount of whinging there is on TK.
