Camden
Currently: 1st
The Run Home: North Shore (A), Western Suburbs (H), Penrith (A)
Analysis: The premiership favourites have taken their game to another level, being the most dominant team in the competition. The Cats will want to keep their momentum going into the finals where they will get the first week off.
Prediction: Minor premiership already wrapped up and are ready for finals.
Blacktown
Currently: 2nd
The Run Home: Randwick City (A), North Shore (H), Moorebank (H)
Analysis: Last years runners-up have once again given themselves an opportunity to taste September success. Games against two sides outside the top five should secure Blacktown the double chance.
Prediction: Will end the season with three wins and play in the Qualifying Final and with a full compliment of players be a huge chance to go one step further than 2014.
Manly Warringah
Currently: 3rd
The Run Home: Penrith (A), Randwick City (H), Western Suburbs (A)
Analysis: The Giants have shown they can play some of the best footy in the competition however have let themselves down with some poor lapses of play also. They are currently a game and a half ahead of fourth placed Moorebank but with one more home game to go should lock in third place.
Prediction: Will defeat Randwick City at home and finish in third.
Moorebank
Currently: 4th
The Run Home: Western Suburbs (A), Penrith (H), Blacktown (A)
Analysis: Moorebank will be desperate to gain that third place spot and the double chance opportunity in the finals. If they can grab two wins in the next fortnight, their final round match-up against Blacktown could be a must win to grab third.
Prediction: Win two of their next three but still finish fourth.
Penrith
Currently: 5th
The Run Home: Manly Warringah (H), Moorebank (A), Camden (H)
Analysis: The Rams could be the danger side in the finals. Premiership favourites before the year started, the Rams have been up and down this season. If they slip up in the final three weeks, they could end up missing the finals which would be a shock to many.
Prediction: The Rams will sneak in on percentage despite the tough run home. Fifth.
North Shore
Currently: 6th
The Run Home: Camden (H), Blacktown (A), Randwick City (H)
Analysis: The Bombers next fortnight will play a big part if they are going to feature in finals. A home game against top placed Camden and then a road trip to Blacktown will give a good indication if they are going to make finals.
Prediction: Tough run home and despite a win in the final round the Bombers will end up slipping to seventh.
Western Suburbs
Currently: 7th
The Run Home: Moorebank (H), Camden (A), Manly Warringah (H)
Analysis: At the moment, Western Suburbs are a game outside finals but will still fancy their chances of seeing some September action. Two games at home will be pivotal for the Magpies and are must win games. A difficult road trip to Camden shapes as a big game if they want to secure a position in the five.
Prediction: Will win both games at home but still won’t be enough to make it. Sixth.
Randwick City
Currently: 8th
The Run Home: Blacktown (H), Manly Warringah (A), North Shore (A)
Analysis: Randwick City are currently two games out of the five and will need all things to go their way. They will provide a difficult opponent for the teams they play in the run home.
Prediction: Too much ground to make up to reach finals but will be a chance in every match they play. Eighth.
