looked over the next seven fixtures (bringing us to 10 games played) and by predicting the outcomes I believe this to be the most likely points total heading into round 11.

Looks crazy that Brisbane could potentially have only a point from 10 games, but none of the teams they will face in the next seven games I can see Brisbane beating. Potentially could have a couple more points from scrappy draws, but 3 points max. As for Newcastle, I can see their form tapering off massively. They've had a great start but they've had pretty easy opposition, and a long run of tough games plus an injury to Ronnie Vargas could seriously stall their season.Come the end of the season I can see it being a battle between WSW, City and Adelaide for 3rd and 4th, and the last play off spot being battled out between the Nix and Newy, and maybe one of either Perth or CCM
