Seven weeks to go: Every NRL team’s run home, likely finishing position as Sea Eagles stunner tightens top eight race…..

 

 

With just seven weeks remaining in the NRL regular season, the race to the finals is heating up, and the Sea Eagles’ stunning win over the Storm has added a new twist. That upset victory has opened the door for several teams outside the top eight, creating one of the tightest finishes in years. The top four – led by the Panthers, Broncos, Raiders, and Warriors – are expected to maintain their positions with relatively favorable draws, while the Rabbitohs, Sharks, and Roosters are locked in a fierce battle to secure spots five to eight.

 

The Sea Eagles, Cowboys, and Eels are still in striking distance, with key matchups ahead that could dramatically shift the ladder. The Tigers and Dragons are essentially out of contention, focusing on development and pride. Meanwhile, the Dolphins, despite their early-season form, have faded and now face a tough road ahead.

 

Every point matters now, with teams like the Knights and Titans needing near-perfect finishes to sneak into the finals. The Sea Eagles’ win has effectively tightened the gap between seventh and twelfth, meaning the final spots could be decided by points differential or the last-round results. Buckle up — the NRL run home promises fireworks.
