If we beat the Panthers then Storm would have to go through us to make the GF, but you're right that it's not possible for us to play them in Melbourne.
If we lose to the Panthers then we face the winner of Knights/Raiders at home.
We win and we host the winner of next week's Storm v Roosters/Sharks.
Man was thinking how lucky the Storm are to be coming into the finals with Papenhuyzen coming back for the finals while we get Johnson who has been available all year get injured.
Sport can be cruel. He's been out all year after a long injury and rehab and now looks to be in for another long period on the sidelines.
The 2nd worst part of this is that the other side of the draw is becoming quite soft, and the Roosters are a real chance to be playing semis now. Truly awful situation that.
