Just did the NRL predictor .... Are point Diff could see us miss out on the 8 ... if we don't win at least one match with other matches going are way mostly if Phins WIN tonight they don't continue to win ..~!!

So many important games for many teams ...IMHO I think we surely can WIN least one of the last 3x games EELS ? or TITS ? get that 34pts and we are in .. BUT if Phins upset a team like the Raiders point D will see us out ...

But another crazy game will be the last round 27 Dragoons Vs Panthers ...I had Panthers sitting in 4th, but if they lose to the Dragoons >>> out of the 8 !! and that could see us in the 8 ,,even losing TITs + Manly games !!
