Message: [QUOTE="McHunt, post: 3062678, member: 9853"] Round 22 is a litmus test against the team most directly challenging our position in the 8. [B]If we can't compete against the Panthers, we don't belong in the 8. Simple as that.[/B] This isn't meant to be a form guide of any kind; it's only about the maths of making the playoffs. These are our goals, in order of priority, in solidarity with Coach Tony: 1. Make the playoffs. (Likely) 2. Improve on 2018 (Mathemetically possible, but very unlikely) 3. Finish higher than Coach Wayne. (Mathematically possible, but very unlikely) The teams realistically threatening our place in the 8 are the[B] SHARKS, PANTHERS, TIGERS & WARRIORS. [/B]Yes, the [B]KNIGHTS [/B]are stil a mathematical threat[B].[/B] A win against the [B]PANTHERS [/B]this weekend will elevate us to[B] 7th POSITION. [/B]A loss will keep us at[B] 8th [/B]but only if both the[B] SHARKS [/B]& [B]TIGERS [/B]lose, and the[B] WARRIORS [/B]lose (or win with a[B] points differential[/B] coming into play). Here's your weekend guide. [B]Bold[/B] team winning favours us. [B][U]THURSDAY[/U] Eagles (H)[/B] v Tigers: [B]CRITICAL. [U]FRIDAY[/U] Titans (H)[/B] v Eels: [B]MOSTLY IRRELEVANT.[/B] We're unlikely to overtake the Eels. [B]Broncos (H)[/B] v Panthers: [B]CRUCIAL. [/B]If we can't win this, we don't belong in the 8. [B][U]SATURDAY[/U][/B] Knights (H) v [B]Cowboys[/B]: [B]SOMEWHAT RELEVANT[/B]. A win to the NQ will finish the Knights' season. [B]Storm (H)[/B] v Raiders: [B]IRRELEVANT[/B] Rabbitohs (H) v [B]Bulldogs[/B]: [B]RELEVANT only if you want to see Coach Wayne lose[/B]. [B][U]SUNDAY[/U] Roosters [/B](H) v Warriors: [B]CRITICAL[/B] Sharks (H) v [B]Dragons:[/B] [B]CRITICAL[/B] [/QUOTE]
