What a pity the NRL still hasn't followed the AFL in changing this finals system. Teams 7 and 8 almost always get knocked out straight away by teams 1 and 2 who go straight through to the prelim finals. The AFL used to use this system but ditched it for their current one which is FAR better. The Cowboys have been celebrating reaching the finals for the first time but they've got almost no chance of making it to week 2.

For what it's worth:
Penrith by 4
Brisbane by 2
Bulldogs by 18
Roosters by 20
