We have a solid chance of playing finals footy this year. Our season is far from over.
As i see it we sit 9th on the ladder with 26 points. Equal with Warriors(8th) and Cowboys(7th). So for us to get in we need to win one more game than either of these teams as our for/against is woeful. And hope Broncos or Dragons(24pts) don't win all three forcing us to have to win all three to stay ahead.
Here is our run home
Rd24
Parra vs Many at Parra
Cowboys vs Bunnies at ANZ
Warriors vs Roosters at Mt Smart
No one has an easy game here Warriors might jag a win.
Broncos vs Knights at Suncorp
Dragons vs Titans at Kogarah
Both will most likely win and move ahead of us on the ladder if we go down to Manly.
Rd 25
Eels vs Knights in Newcastle
Warriors vs Titans at Mt Smart
Cowboys vs Sharks in Townsville
We all should win this round, it is a must win for us. Hopefully Titans can get the win it would help us.
Broncos vs Dragons at Suncorp
This will take care of one of these teams, most likely Broncos win.
Rd 26
Eels vs Raiders in Canberra
Cowboys vs Sea Eagles
Warriors vs Panthers in Penrith
this is where i think we will sneak into the 8
Broncos vs Storm in Melbourne
Dragons vs Knights
If Broncos win in Rd25 Storm should finish them off for us.
Im so excited at the fact we have a chance to play finals footy again. Thank god that nightmare is over.
No matter what happens from here the boys can hold their heads up high, and BA give yourself a pat on the back. Well done guys you've installed pride in our jersey once again.

We just need to win all 3 of our games, starting with Manly this week. I think we can do it and go from back to back spoons to playing finals footy again. Whatever happens though, BA has done an amazing job this season and blooded some great young players in Manu Mau, Pauli Pauli, Bureta Faraimo and Tepai Moeroa. The future is definitely looking bright for the Eels.
And secure the Raiders wooden spoon at the same time!
