There’s eight weeks remaining in the 2019 NRL season regular, and eight weeks to decide the finals series.
State of Origin has been won, and done, and now all eyes turn to September footy.
Here’s how your team sits, what their run home looks like, and how we think they’ll fare.
Welcome to The Run Home.
PREDICTED FINAL LADDER
1 Storm
2 Rabbitohs
3 Roosters
4 Raiders
5 Eels
6 Sea Eagles
7 Knights
8 Panthers
9 Sharks
10 Broncos
11 Cowboys
12 Tigers
13 Dragons
14 Warriors
15 Bulldogs
16 Titans
PREDICTED FINALS SERIES
First qualifying final: Storm (1) v Raiders (4)
First elimination final: Eels (5) v Panthers (8)
Second qualifying final: Rabbitohs (2) v Roosters (3)
Second elimination final: Sea Eagles v Knights
YOUR CLUB’S RUN HOME
1 Melbourne Storm (30 points, 216 +/-)
Formline (most recent first): WWWWW
Remaining games: Titans (A), Sea Eagles (H), Broncos (A), Rabbitohs (A), Raiders (H), Titans (H), Sea Eagles (A), Cowboys (H)
Key injuries: Curtis Scott (Round 20), Albert Vete (season)
Analysis: Melbourne have lost just two games for the season, and the scary thing is they’ve clearly got improvement in them. Craig Bellamy fired a warning shot at his playing group after they lost to Cronulla, and it looks like they listened. The Origin period is now over, and Bellamy knows how to have his side primed for the finals. The expected return of Curtis Scott will only make them a stronger team on the eve of finals. On current form it’s hard to see the Storm dropping any of their remaining games.
Predicted run home: WWWWWWWW
Predicted finish: 1st (46 points)
