No Real upsets on the weekend, that being said it was very close to some upsets. Some big games when down to the wire. There are some massive games coming up over the next 3 weeks that will have direct results on who can come 3rd and 4th. Would everyone agree it now comes down to Souths, Uni and Sunnybank. I think GPS and Bond to far gone. I predict the following, Brothers, Wests, Sunnybank, Souths. I think Uni good enough just don't have the draw coming home, happy to be wrong. What does everyone else think?
Trotter yep getting to the business end of the season.
Within three rounds to go look the games are as follows.
Sunnybank 42 points Have Bond , Souths, Logan. As I see it. Bond is a tough game as they beat the bank in the first round and only just lost to Souths on the weekend. They beat Souths round one. They then finish with the guaranteed 5 points agains Logan.
UQ 43 Points have Wests, Easts, Souths. Wests are a benchmark team so that will be tough. They should have an easy win against Easts and I see the game against Souths being a play in game for position on the final day.
Souths 45 Points have the tough run against GPS, Sunnybank and UQ. They should beat GPS this weekend. But then have the tough run against the Bank and UQ. They have not beaten a team in the top five so they have to break new ground.
Souths 45 Points W,?,? Guaranteed 50 Points
UQ 43 Points L,W,? Guaranteed 48 Points
Sunnybank 42 points W,?,W Guaranteed 51 points
For mine 52 points guarantees you finals and the team that will have the most influence on the ladder is Souths with them playing both of the other contenders who they lost to in round one. The Bank has the easiest run having beaten Souths in round one and playing two teams with nothing to play for.
