Nor-West
Currently: 1st
The Run Home: Penrith (A), UTS (H)
Analysis: In a coup for the club, Nor-West will have two sides in finals action in 2014. With a great percentage, they will only need to win one of their final two to seal top spot. They face a tough match against Penrith away from home next weekend.
Prediction: Minor Premiers despite losing to Penrith.
Camden
Currently: 2nd
The Run Home: Blacktown (A), Moorebank (A)
Analysis: Like Nor-West, Camden should have two sides in the finals. Both remaining games are away from home, including a massive clash against Blacktown which could determine whether they seal a double chance.
Prediction: Tipping Blacktown to win at home which would mean they need to win every finals game to clinch the premiership.
Penrith
Currently: 3rd
The Run Home: Nor-West (H), UNSW/ES (A)
Analysis: Penrith have had a strong season to date and like many, their clash next weekend at home to Nor-West is crucial to their hopes in the finals. Should defeat UNSW/ES in the final round who will only be playing for pride.
Prediction: Penrith to be one of the big winners of the final fortnight. Second and a double chance beckons.
Blacktown
Currently: 4th
The Run Home: Camden (H), Holroyd-Parramatta (A)
Analysis: All eyes will be on their clash with Camden as they look to seal a double chance. Their final round trip to Holroyd-Parramatta will provide a good confidence booster ahead of their finals campaign.
Prediction: Will win their remaining two to jump to the hotly-contested third position.
Sydney University
Currently: 5th
The Run Home: Holroyd-Parramatta (A), North Shore (H)
Analysis: The Students enjoy the softest run home of any side as they play the bottom two sides.
Prediction: Cannot finish anywhere but fifth.
Below teams are out of finals contention
UNSW/ES
Currently: 6th
The Run Home: North Shore (H), Penrith (H)
Prediction: The Bulldogs should beat North Shore to seal sixth place.
UTS
Currently: 7th
The Run Home: Moorebank (H), Nor-West (A)
Prediction: Home ground advantage should equal a win against Moorebank which keeps them in seventh.
Moorebank
Currently: 8th
The Run Home: UTS (A), Camden (H)
Prediction: If they can knock off UTS, they will jump to seventh. Unlikely.
North Shore
Currently: 9th
The Run Home: UNSW/ES (A), Sydney University (A)
Prediction: Will provide some opposition to sides fifth and sixth on the ladder in their final fortnight, but won’t win any.
Holroyd-Parramatta
Currently: 10th
The Run Home: Sydney University (H), Blacktown (H)
Prediction: Playing at home will be the only positive out of the final fortnight.
