And it starts with the Broncos on Thursday. Given the Roosters and Eels are all but across the line in their games, the Broncos will need a win here to secure 3rd place, giving them a crack at the Rooster in Sydney. Surely, Bennett won't want to go to Melbourne to take on the Storm.
The Cowboys, without Thurston this time of year is a bit of an ask, even given their dire position, and the fact they are in Townsville.
Tipping Broncos by 13pts.
Assuming the Dragons will throw their hearts on the line, at home, against the Bulldogs rabble, Manly just can't afford to lose against the Panthers.
But, given the Broncos beating the Cowboys by 13, Manly could go down in a nail bitter by 2pts, and still slot into 8th place on 22-21 for and against v the Cowboys.
So, if we win, we play the Sharks, if we lose by a field goal or 2pts, we play the Dragons.
Very important game on Thursday for us, the Broncos by plenty would ease our pressure (he says, while convulsing at the thought of cheering for Brisbane)
