How many wins to make the 8?

Absolutely BUT you have to have hope.

I doubt our team can be UP like they were last week , each and every week , they just aren’t built that way ( yet ), so we will put in a piss poor performance ( or two ) along the way.

BUT all of a sudden that win has convinced them that they can in fact compete , and for that reason Saturday night was HUGE.

You never know..... maybe the DCE departure will work in our favour for once. Also, we should have a few key players returning from injury over the next months hopefully that will give them a boost.

I prefer to think of it, that if we we keep winning, we don't have to worry about counting.

If we can't beat the teams we have in our remaining matches then we won't be any danger to the top 8 sides come finals time, so I'm hoping we can win most of them.

We are not currently in the 8 when Byes and for/against are considered.

However , when Sharks & Dolphins get the Bye , We play and can earn 2 points ?

But we are in the 8 if you take win percentage of games played. No need to play around with the table. We are currently 7th bye points make it easy to compare where you sit.

Depends on which games we win… wins against rorters or phins would be almost worth 4 points…

Yes, and if we do, that will be when I celebrate being in the 8.

My post was partly because I noticed that when I googled 'NRL Ladder' the official ladder that appears has byes as zeros and can be a bit misleading (I believe). I just checked and their ladder on their site does include them.

Generally 13 wins should get you there, so it’s probably 4 but they’re have been teams who have missed out with 13 in the past so it’s important we keep our points differential up. 5 to be safe but 5/7 with so many danger games coming might be a big ask 🤷‍♂️

3 home games are all must wins. Especially Chooks and Phins, need to give them that extra loss to boost our chances. Then it’s a case of just scraping an away win or 2 somewhere.

Really not sure how our season ends at this point, could be anything
