Episode Summary:
The NRL top eight is locked in with one round remaining, but the premiership picture is anything but settled. The Dolphins have just produced a massive statement performance and suddenly look capable of causing some serious damage in September. With arguably the most exciting backline in the competition and a top-four finish secured, could they even break one of rugby league’s most famous premiership hoodoos? Will digs into the numbers behind the “concede 50 and you can’t win the comp” stat; and finds some very interesting history that suggests the Dolphins shouldn’t be written off.
South Sydney are also coming at exactly the right time. Cam Murray produced a monster performance, Latrell Mitchell is returning and the Rabbitohs are getting close to full strength. Ian and Steve ask whether Souths are now the one team outside the top four that nobody will want to face in the finals.
Meanwhile, the Roosters’ premiership hopes have taken a huge hit. Their form has disappeared at the worst possible time and Sam Walker’s injury leaves a massive hole heading into September. Steve thinks their premiership run may already be over; Ian isn’t ready to bury them just yet.
Plus, the Sharks look dead in the water after another dreadful performance, the Warriors and Panthers take very different approaches into the finals, Nathan Cleary is hitting form at exactly the right time, and the boys look at what the locked-in top eight means heading into the final round.
