Auburn
Currently: 1st
The Run Home: UTS (H), Manly Warringah (A)
Analysis: Auburn have an interesting run home playing UTS and the dangerous Manly-Warringah. Have only lost two games all season and despite losing to Penrith last weekend, they should continue their merry run for the rest of the regular season.
Prediction: Will win their two games and claim the minor premiership in what would be a brilliant achievement.
UTS
Currently: 2nd
The Run Home: Auburn (A), Blacktown (A)
Analysis: The toughest run home out of all the teams in the Division. They will need to play good football in the final fortnight and if they do they will be rewarded. However, if they drop both games they will finish either fourth or fifth.
Prediction: Tough run will see them drop to fifth however don't count them out of winning the minor premiership.
Gosford
Currently: 3rd
The Run Home: Moorebank (A), BYE
Analysis: Will have to sit back and watch the final round when they have the bye in Round 16. If they defeat Moorebank as they should, they will be in a strong position to finish with an all-important double chance.
Prediction: Will win their last game and finish second.
Blacktown
Currently: 4th
The Run Home: Newtown (A), UTS (H)
Analysis: A big game against UTS in the final round will determine where Blacktown will finish in the top five. A win could secure a top two finish while a loss could see them slip to fourth and in an Elimination Final.
Prediction: UTS will get the win last round and the Magic will end up finishing fourth on percentage.
Penrith
Currently: 5th
The Run Home: Manly Warringah (A), Moorebank (A)
Analysis: The premiership favourites at the start of the year have been up and down this season but are building nicely for finals. Two matches with teams below them on the ladder should result in two wins. Importantly, they will also look to build on their percentage.
Prediction: A couple of results will go their way and they will finish fourth.
Manly Warringah
Currently: 6th
The Run Home: Penrith (A), Auburn (H)
Analysis: A tough last fortnight for the Giants but if they can play some good football and grab a couple of wins, they could sneak into the finals.
Prediction: Won’t be good enough to beat Penrith or Auburn and will finish sixth.
Below teams are out of finals contention
Newtown
Currently: 7th
The Run Home: Blacktown (H), UNSW/ES (A)
Prediction: A solid first year for Newtown’s second team and will look to improve next year. Seventh.
Moorebank
Currently: 8th
The Run Home: Gosford (H), Penrith (H)
Prediction: Difficult last two weeks for the Magpies who will finish the year in eighth.
UNSW/ES
Currently: 9th
The Run Home: BYE, Newtown (H)
Prediction: Will be out to secure a win in the last game of the season but will finish the season last.
