In the years of the Top 8 1995-96 1999-current only one side has won the premiership outside the Top 4 being Canterbury in 1995 and they had 3 things in their favour all the ARL semi-finals bar one game were based in Sydney giving them a huge leg ups when in today's era they would have traveled to Brisbane week 2 and Canberra week 3, experience of being in the GF the year before and they had the best player in the competition in their side. It's a virtual undefeated record and no side has won it the closest Parramatta in 2009 when Jarryd Hayne hit a very peak patch of form and was the best player in the competition.

Finishing Top 4 is everything.

I think Cowboys are capable of winning several games in a row, similar to the Broncos last year. Other than that, I'd say it will be hard to stop a Penrith-Sydney GF. i was really hopeful for us until that Sharks game. Now I hope we can make it but realistically, I doubt it.

I'm just of the opinion if you don't finish in the top 4 you cant win it due to how the the final system is set up.

So for the cowboys, I don't doubt they have worked up to being good. However, they wont make the top 4.

I think the 5 teams I mentioned are going to be in the top 4 hence they have a chance.

Just on us, if we make the top 4, we will be hard to stop. Very hard. x factor wins finals, along with defence. We have both in spades. You'll say "but we have to turn on for the finals", but so does every other team. One thing I'm sure of, Nico Hynes will get the Sharks there, but he will also ensure they exit early. Warriors are all coaching, but he doesn't play the games. Penrith are looking beatable and tired. The Roosters not convincing. We are there with all of them as well, however we have been rested. Katoa should be fresh after the lay off, and if we make the top 4, we go into very ready.

I agree it's unlikely but it will happen one day. Even though we've had the wood on them for the past few games, at full strength or close to, I wouldn't like us to play them in week one 5th vs 8th elimination.
