OK before this round starts, what are our chances of making the final eight this year?

We are currently on 16 points, to make the finals we will need 30-32 points.

That equates to 7-8 Wins this season.

To make the eight we will need to string some wins together with 10 rounds remaining.

So what does everyone think? Can we make the eight, I personally think that we will be a strong force if we do make it but can we?
 
the next month is the clue we realistically can win our next 4 and if we do I think we'll make it definatly
 
We havent won more than two matches in a row this year. And we arent playing teams below us either.

There is only 8 games left.
 
Hopefully we can get into do it for Bedsy mode but i don't think that's gunna get us there unfortunately but you never know.

I think we need to be a bit more creative and not just wait till we've got no chance to make the finals before we open it up.

Now is the time!
 
It's going to be tough stringing together wins, considering we haven't won 3 games straight in quite a while.

If we could improve immensly, then it's possible, but from some of our performances this year, we're blowing away too many opportunities.
 
still a chance but those f***ups against the Rorters and the Worriers are going to come back to bite us...we may grab 7th or 8th but I am hoping we get 5th or 6th. Then, fully fit, we can give the comp a real shake.
 
Its def not impossible. It'll depend on how desperate the Knights are and if they can live up to the standards. Unable to beat Roosters something that will come back and haunt them. They could have won. Let me correct that. They should have won.
We were so close with that Manly match especially in the first half. There was a chance of winning it but they were just too good for us in the second half.

Raiders, Cowboys, Souths, Dragons,Titans(no Prince, no Bailey) we must win. Dont loose faith in the Knights. Because once the fans loose faith, well literally the Knights will too.
 
It's definatly possible the only games I think we will definatly lose is Broncos and Melbourne teams like Souths,Sharks,Panthers,Cowboys and Eels are games we can win if Bedsey isn't there for at least half of them I don't like our chances
 
Ok after tonights performance a LOT of work to do. Any chance to make the finals?
50/50 for me

Based on the average of past teams in the top 8, since the top 8 finals system was introduced in 1995, a team needs to win a minimum of 50% of matches to make the 8. For the Knights, we are now 6-9 after 15 games. We will need to win 6 of our last 9 matches to be guaranteed a spot in the 8, we will only make the 8 winning 5 out of 9, depending on a lot of luck from the other teams surrounding the cusp of the 8 (eg Parramatta, Penrith, Canberra and Wests Tigers).

However, I feel that F/A is very vital. The Knights have been very lucky they haven't been smashed this year, but if they get a touch up from a side, you can write off their finals chances, as F/A alone will keep us out.
