Round twenty three selections

It's the pointy end of season 2018, and there's every chance we won't have a QLD based team in the top eight this year.

Round twenty two selections

Just four rounds to go this season, and the highlight this round is clearly the contest between the only two foundation clubs in the competition.

Round twenty one selections

Five rounds remain and the Warriors have left the door slightly open for a team to make a late run at the top eight. Meanwhile the minor premiership and the all-important top four slots are well and truly up for grabs.

Round twenty selections

Six rounds to go and I'm standing out two teams as my grand finalists this year (and I'm right slightly more than half the time so the other 14 teams may as well head to Bali).

Round nineteen selections

The top eight looks set in stone but the battle for top four (and top two) spots is closer than ever.
