We all know that the comp is uneven and needs some serious amendment, however when you analyze the number of games each club has played [or will play] this season against other clubs who have ended in the top 8 then I think that our team can be very pleased where they have ended up & points differential as a fair filter needs to be reassessed.
The following is the table of top 8 v top 8
Warriors 13
Broncos 12
Dragons 12
Sharks 11
Storm 11
Roosters 11
Rabbitohs 11
Panthers 9
On that basis you would think Panthers aren't going much further in the comp
