Therefore: 5th position - Bulldogs 6th position - Manly 7th position - Cowboys 8th position - Broncos (even if they lose one more game, they should secure 8th spot courtesy of F and A.)
At least half a dozen tough close games there where I've favoured the home teams.
I expect the Storm to rest players in round 27 as they have done in previous years.
Very tough run in for the Dolphins.
Warriors run in seems hard too. Shaun Johnson and CNK back soon could well motivate them.
The $3.00 about the Broncos to make the 8 still looks good. Although they were garbage (with the exception of Kotoni Staggs) against the Bulldogs, who were without Addo-Carr, Critta, Max King and others.
The Broncos forward pack lack mongrel. Piakura and Baker set to return may help. Doubtful though.
