Top 4 isn't locked. We have games coming up against teams with no chance of making the finals. We only have one more game against a team in the top 8 (Roosters in the second last round). I know Cronulla have been winning games by a lot but the game against us was just pathetic on our part, then they had free-falling Tigers and then free-falling Manly.
Warriors coach has to recall Metcalf. I won't make a prediction on them until I see how they go with Metcalf. With the current half-back, I can't see them winning another game.
I'd say top 8 is locked in. Bulldogs are 2 points behind Cowboys but for and against makes it so they are basically 2 wins behind. I expect the Cowboys to rise from 8th. They are a good team. Broncos played very well the other day and Cowboys beat full-strength Penrith only a couple of weeks ago.
