McHunt Report: Rounds 24 & 25. Our final taxi.

[McHunt]

Knights win means they still remain a chance to make the 8 if they win next week, but they're not a threat to our spot as we're 3 points clear.

With Tommy Turbo looking as though he has sustained a pec injury, we might be better off playing Manly if we make it, rather than Souths. They won't play a final at Brookie, so we won't have to play on their home ground as well.

That could happen if we finish 8th and Manly finishes 5th, which is possible.

I thought they changed it after all the carry on last year so those small suburban grounds could host a first round final?

At least there's no chance of meeting Melbourne in the first week, and next to none of meeting them the week after if we make it that far as they'll get a week off if they win.

 

[McHunt]

Panthers are gone. They can’t make the finals on points diff. Tigers are the last remaining threat.

A loss for either Sharks or Tigers on sunday and we're in.

The good thing for us is that the Tigpies play the Sharks in the final round next week

Exactly. Either team losing will do it for us the way the draw works out. The pieces are all falling into place. We don't even have to beat the Bulldogs.

 

[Alec]

So if tomorrow the Sharks lose to the Faders OR Tiggers lose to the Dragons, we are definitely in?

 

[Sproj]

Sharks don't matter. Tigers lose, Broncs are in.

 

[Alec]

Sharks don't matter. Tigers lose, Broncs are in.

If the Sharks lose and Tiggers win, both will be on 24 points, behind us. Then they play each other next week so one will remain on 24 points.

Well, unless they decide to have a draw, then we'll need to beat the Dogs for sure.

Yep, so hence Tigers lose, it's all sweet.

If both teams are on 24 points by next round what happens if both teams joint forfeit? Is that a draw? The nrl would sue the ass out of both of them I guess.

 

[McHunt]

Yep, so hence Tigers lose, it's all sweet.

Or the Sharks lose. Either way, we're in. Unless either or both draws, which will complicate matters. Then we might need to beat the Dogs.

Also 7th place is on the table as well.

Go Raiders. Go Dragons.

 

[Dexter]

It's the second time in 3 weeks I've had to cheer for the Dragons

 

[Sproj]

Well the Drags have enough ex-Broncos - Hunt, Norman, Sims x2, Pearson, Sailor (father anyway), Field?

So maybe they’ll do the Broncs a solid and play like an actual team.

 

[McHunt]

Canberra is fucking us. Looks like a Sharks win.
