Lol Knights just couldn't hang on to make it a 4 point margin.
I think it's 23 points, as a tie on points differential goes to the higher scoring team.We need to win by 24 point s to get a home final. If we don't win by that much but a W, we still play them Dragons.
Either way, we will end their season.
The Dragons will be hosting us next weekend and it will be a tough task.6th is better than 5th now. We want to win by at least 23 but less than 32 to host the Dragons. If we win by 32+ we host the Warriors. If we win by less than 23 we are hosted by the Dragons. If we lose we are hosted by the Panthers. All of this assumes the Sharks don't get pumped by the Dogs though.
That seems the most likely outcome, but the others are still highly plausible.The Dragons will be hosting us next weekend and it will be a tough task.
Dragons are our easy opponents compared to the other 2 I reckon. End their season & deal with the loser among 2 & 3.The Dragons will be hosting us next weekend and it will be a tough task.
Really hope the Titans win.

Do we play the Dragons at ANZ/ SFS or at their shit hole home ground?
I know, I just don't have the energy to cover another dozen scenarios that are dependent on the Sharks or Roosters losing heavily.There is a very small chance this could happen.
Sharks don't have a lot to play for really. They probably feel they can't be overtaken and can't overtake anyone above them.
They may even rest a few with niggles.
They will be hoping to get through it without injury and turn up with a bad mindset against a dogs team on the rise.
A 20 point loss puts them within reach.
The goal would be to get to a 29 point lead and hold. A converted try to Manly doesn't change anything and we can always take the 2 if our attack looks too suspiciously blunted.So if we lead by 24 or whatever, just cool off a bit.
If it goes to script, Titans will go to a decent lead halfway into the second half. Then the Cowboys power home with JT leading the charge and scoring a try or kicking the winning conversion/penalty/field goal to get the win and much wanking will be had.
