well it sort of does because you might have to beat one of them twice if it's in game 1 of the finalsTo win the premiership you will need to beat Penrith and Warriors along the way so doesn't matter when you face them.
If we finish third and draw NZ in week 1, we will host the no Walker Roosters or a non top 4 side at Suncorp for a spot in the grand final most likely so that has to be what we're aiming for - and if our pack can match it with NZ, our 1-7 is solidly better than theirs
