Dial M for momentum as drama-filled season roars towards conclusion

Only the Panthers were "dull", not in the sense that their scintillating play is boring but only in the routine way they notched up their 15th consecutive victory.

The Panthers have it but the Rabbitohs roll is only one week old, having been beaten 26-16 by the lowly Bulldogs the previous round.Getty But travel has been a major issue with the Raiders this season. Their match against the Sharks was away, as would have been a play-off with minor premiers Penrith. But fifth place means their replay with the eighth-placed Sharks in the elimination semi-final is at home.

The Panthers, Eels and Roosters all rested three or four players in the final round, an acknowledgement that in this COVID-19 year, injuries make it difficult to field your top team and maintain momentum.

You mean the suspense of already knowing which teams were in the final 8...? 🤣
