OPINION: Three teams are looking good for the NRL premiership, but don't rule out a dark horse
The NRL's top eight is locked in, which means we can already start to look forward to a finals series that's going to be packed with some really big games of football.
The semi-finals are going to be very fast and if you can win the first week and get that week off, that'll give you every chance the following week. In fact, at the moment I'd probably put both Souths and Canberra ahead of Parramatta, who are slowly declining and going backwards. Canberra are different again. They have a bunch of tough, resilient blokes and are playing some good footy.
Most sides will be feeling OK heading into the semi-finals, but if they can win that game, get a week off and have a really good rest, it will certainly go a huge way to helping them win the competition.It was a really good decision forfor all sorts of reasons, despite him passing his HIA.
