WHY WE WILL MAKE THE 8

Posted by Barney Bear on June 12, 2017 at 3:48pm

28 Points is considered the cut off point for a top 8 position. We currently have 14 and with 2 byes to come takes us to 18. Of our remaining games we will beat the bulldogs twice,the tigers,knights,titans, and souths-those 6 wins will take us to 30 points, In addition we play st george and the storm without their state of origin players-we are a chance of winning one or both of these games,even if we don't 30 points should get us there

I hope so mate but we wont win all those games, we are not in good or consistant enough form to.

I cant see us going too much better than winning 60% of our remaining games but anything is possible i suppose

  I have assumed that the Broncos will beat us twice as well as the storm and st george -Therefore we will win 6/10 of our last games or 60%- which is what yo estimate

  According to B.A at the the Presser ... we are taking 2 steps forward then 1 step back ! .. so by my calculations thats a 66.666 % chance of winning our remaining games .... So we are a chance !

Fair call BB, if thats the case maybe we are going to be ok, for Brads sake i hope we do, theres no excusses this year.

With our poor for and against I reckon we will need to get to 30 points. Last year if we didn't lose our points we would have been in 8th place on 30.

  No side has missed out on the 8 in the last 10 or so years on 30 points.
  
  In the last 10 or so years the highest points required for 8th spot was 30 and the lowest 24 ( others include 29 and 27 points). Generally 28 points has been 8th spot for 6 of the last 10 years and only twice in these 6 years was 8th decided by for / against.
