NRL.com predicts the Top 8

With five rounds remaining before the 2017 NRL Telstra Premiership Finals, the race for the top eight and the all-important top four is heating up.

The team at NRL.com have done their Ladder Predictor for the last five rounds, looking into the crystal ball to see who will play finals footy this season.

I wish I was as confident that manly will get there as the experts. Although I am predicting plenty of upsets over the closing rounds. Fingers crossed.
 
I reckon the cowboys will struggle to stay in the 8. They have a hard draw and could crack very soon. A quality side regardless if Thurston is there or not although without JT just don't have the x-factor (lol) to beat many top 8 sides
 
30 points is the benchmark in my eyes.

We will finish somewhere in the bottom half of the 8.... which I think means we have had a good year.

1. Storm
2. Broncos
3. Roosters
4. Eels
5. Sharks
6. Eagles
7. Cowboys
8. Panthers

If we can snatch 5 or 6, a Sydney final would be nice..... but I don't see much more after that.

I'd be happy with the above - Storm to win it.
 
I think we need 3 wins out of the 5 games to be sure of making it. The games left are all difficult starting this week. We have a bad record at Leichhardt, the dogs game is tricky in that they have nothing more to lose, the Warriors game I think we can win and the Panthers game, well after what happened up there a month ago if our team is ever to be motivated it will be for that game.

We don't want to just make it . We want to shake it !!!
We must win all 5 games and go into the finals all pumped up like an erect penis and screw all the teams all the way to win the Grand final .
Its all or nothing feathered friend .

The experts seem pretty confident that we'll do a lot of winning and the Roosters will do a lot of losing. I don't know about that.

I think we should win most of our remaining matches, but the mental state of the team this weekend will be key for that. One more hapless loss like the last 2 weeks and this season is as good as over.
