"Blore is average. We are top heavy for forwards, very light on in the backs, now you want to get rid of two backs for an average forward. I'm glad Mon is part of the recruitment team, and not you."

I did the ladder predictor about 2 minutes ago and Parra came 5th on 32 points and 8th was Penrith on 30 points.
I think I may have been a little biased in my guessing for the 8 though.
The Cowboys have almost as easy a run as us. Penrith and the Dogs won't win many more games, IMO, while the warriors could lose games they should win.I stick by what I have been saying for two weeks 30 points will see us in the 8. 3 out of 5.
30pts
I did the ladder predictor on the NRL site and i have us missing the 8 on for and against. 32 should be enough though.
Historically since 2008 teams on 28 with a positive points differential have made the finals, but we'll need 3 wins from our last remaining 5 considering our negative diff...
This is how I see it panning out:
Canberra: We SHOULD beat them comfortably both times. A side fighting for a finals spot at near full strength against a team languishing at the bottom of the table with serious injuries. It would be even better if they blooded their 2015 fullback and dropped Milford.
Bulldogs: At ANZ I feel like they'll get on top and beat us by 7-18 points. We can win this game, but I'm not expecting us to.
Sea Eagles: At Pirtek, I like us to win this game. This is a monstrous game for our season, and we really need to win it. In our struggle seasons we would often beat Manly at home, and earlier this year we all but beat them at Brookie. Manly haven't been as dominant as everyone has been saying, as they owe 2-3 wins blatantly to the referees. I think we can win this game. The optimist inside me says we will.
Knights: Newcastle are looking more and more disinterested by the week. If they're still struggling with injuries, we should run all over them. However, if Mullen, Boyd, Uate, etc return, this will be a bloody hard game. Let's hope they're not at full strength, hard to tip without knowing.
If we can play like we're hungry for finals football and win 4 of these games, then we're all but guaranteed a top 8 spot. By my predictions, we will make the finals in 7th place and we'll play against the winner of a Round 26 clash between the Warriors and Panthers in Penrith. The loser of said game won't make the finals. As you can see, I don't rate Penrith all that highly. If the referees didn't rort the Dogs this week, we'd be looking even better.
I'll be at all of our remaining games, except for the NT game. PUT YOUR UNICORN HATS ON AND GET PSYCHED!
Lets hope so Yoshi, i just hope we win the games we are expected to like canberra twice and the knights, and upset either the dogs or Manly, but i think our chances of the dogs are better, we could go in with 4 wins, but in reality being parra we will lose one of the easier games, who knows.
Maybe BA will be proven correct in wresting Hayne, i wanted for him to play if fit, but maybe BA has pulled the master stroke and Jarryd will keep his current amazing form and get us into the finals on the back of a team playing good footy and a fresher jarryd, even with all our injuries.
lets hope good things are about to happen in the next 2 months, taking into account where we came from i think its been a pretty good year so far, ive been really happy with BA in general, getting in the 8 would seal the deal, Steve Sharp seems to have made a great choice in Brad.
Agree with you buzz, i think we will need 4 out of our last 5 to get there, if it comes down to points for and against we are gone, we need to get in there outright.
