Hey guys - call me naive, but just say Manly beat Paramatta this weekend, and 2 other teams get knocked out. Does that mean we can say that we finished 6th, or have we finished 8th regardless? Hope this question makes sense. I honestly don't know the answer. If we won the comp for instance, have we come 1st, or 8th? etc etc.
I think those teams that make the top 8 are ranked by what level of playoff they acheive. If we lose this week we will be Qualifying Finalists, if we make it to next week we will be Semi Finalists. Then Preliminary Finalists, followed by Runners Up and finally Premiers
If we win the GF we finished the season 1st...if Manly and Cronulla lose on the weekend our final positions (7th or 8th) will be determined by how far the teams we lost to get...ie. if Parra win the comp we finish 7th and therefore Sharks 8th.
But the two lowest losers get knocked out in the 1st week. If we WIN, that automatically means we came a minimum of 6th right? That's what I'm asking. Cause if we were asked at the start of the year, would you accept coming 6th, and that's it, I'd say - HELL YEAH.
I am not positive but thinking back on past RL annuals I am pretty sure that the final order is based on the results of the Finals. If we win then we should finish at least sixth.
