NRL 2016 - The run to the Finals

[Graham]

Instead of which you use your staff to seek out valuable NRL data to keep us all on the ball.

[Sports Prophet]

Haha, between you both, we have all the answers in a very presentable format

[Graham]

Titans face the most nerve-jangling 24 hours of their season after a crushing 32-16 loss to the Cowboys left their finals dream hanging by a thread.
In a drama-charged Queensland derby, the Gold Coast lost control of their top-eight destiny after failing to upset the premiers at 1300 Smiles Stadium.
Titans players and coach Neil Henry will regroup on Sunday knowing they will officially miss the finals if the Tigers beat the Raiders at Leichhardt Oval.

[Sports Prophet]

Well it was all a bit of a none event at Leichardt. Finals now confirmed and I think the NRL probably got their dream fixtures from the 8 that are left.

South Queensland derby, another Queensland derby in Storm v Cows. Sydney based elimination final and then a game in the capital to decide a prelim spot.

I see you, like me, now have a professional graphics team at your disposal FD. Nearly as good as mine too.

Tips-

Storm

Broncos

Panthers

Sharks

My GF prediction went out the window. The Raiders can't play the Storm in the GF now. These are the remaining GF possibilities:

 

Storm/Raiders/Panthers   v    Sharks/Cows/Horsies

 

So now my best guess would be:  Storm  v  Sharks/Cows

As I am on a 100% record from last week, let's have another go. Tips:

Canberra

N Q

Penrith and Broncos for mine (my record is however absolutely terrible).

 

Then a Sharks / Panthers Grand Final (one is allowed to dream).

well, your Panthers Sharks GF is still a shot at least

[Vichyssoise]

ah ah... It's a long one though.

ah ah... It's a long one though.

at half time it looks that way for sure lol

[Vichyssoise]

In my defense, I thought Austin and Hogdson were out.

 

I should have mentioned that I'd picked the losers

[Sports Prophet]

It's a shame, two clubs in their 50th seasons meeting in the GF would have been remarkable
