Great win by the Raiders last night to win their 5th in a row to sneak into the finals and keep Brisbane out for the first time since 1991.

Anyone now if the Storm have clubrooms where I can watch the game next week?

Reformed bad boy Todd Carney wins the Dally M by one vote from Robbie Farah...
Steve Matai takes the early plea and a seven week suspension...
And if anyone wants a game this weekend, just rock up to Brookie for Manly training...

Which system is the NRL using for its finals? which matches are the knock out games?

It's the old AFL system mate and the only teams that know they'll be knocked out if they lose are the 7th and 8th teams.
BUT the only teams that know they're 100% safe are the top 2 teams as if in the unlikely event the 5th, 6th, 7th and 8th teams all win then 3rd and 4th would be eliminated.
Basically the 2 highest ranked winners go straight through to the Prelims and the 2 lowest ranked losers get knocked out.

Can be a bit of a lottery.
Only 1st and 2nd are guaranteed to play next week.
The lowest ranked losers from week one are eliminated.
So it's mothballs for Manly and the Roosters this weekend...

Interesting lead up for the Roosters, although they were Toyota Cup players.

Agreed it's very confusing. Can't believe the AFL used it.
Go the Titans and the Dragons!!
