2026 Finals

As an ex Titans fan, we are going to beat the Titans (assuming we stay healthy) even at Cbus with Harrison out they are not remotely the same side

Roosters is a huge game. Win and we're top 4. Lose and we need the Sharks to lose one or the Wahs to lose two, Souths could definitely beat Wahs today which would help though as they'll be favs in their last two games against Newcastle and Manly but not a lock

Roosters can lose two as well in theory (to us and to Souths in the final week with Latrell back in a rivalry game) and if we win both games well could overtake them on for and against too

Sharks have a soft draw but not a lock to win out with Trindall gone they're not the same side since he's their actual halfback despite the jersey he wears

At the end of the day though the main thing is we control our own fate, win both games, finish in the top four. Double chance would be big, everyone is beatable now that Yeo is out for Penrith their attack isn't quite what it should be, Roosters can be grinded by a team that can hang with them and the Wahs pack is amazing but their 1-7 leaves a lot to be desired at the moment for anyone whose pack doesn't get completely demolished and we've shown we can beat them
 
The entire season for the minor premiership, top 4 and top 8 comes down to two games.

Roosters v Dolphins
Roosters win they get minor premiership & Sharks get 4th
Dolphins win they get 4th & Warriors get minor premiership

Cowboys v Raiders
Cowboys win they make the 8
Raiders win Bulldogs get 8th & Cowboys miss out
 
Sharks have a soft draw but haven't played well the last three weeks and could still lose one

Also roosters after their loss yesterday probably can't win minor prem anymore and could even miss the top 4 if we beat them and Souths do and we win next week and the sharks win out

Obviously next week is huge for us and we likely get the double chance if we win since we should theoretically beat the Titans in the final game

Any team can beat any other one it's day in this competition. That has been proven over and over. Think Dragons vs the at the time high-flying Sharks or Tigers vs at the time high flying Roosters.

But I think the top 4 are in the right position. They are a bit better than 5~8.
