Chiefy in his presser said he thinks 6th will be around the 40 point mark and he thinks that with all the players we have back & Geraldes we can win 7 of our last 9, or win 6 and not lose the other 3 (i.e. get 21 points to add to the 19 we have from 17 games) to make the top 6.
For comparison:
- We have won 2, drawn 3 and lost 4 of our last 9
- Auckland have won 6, drawn 2 and lost 1 of their last 9
Last season, 7th place was 37 points in a 27 game season, and the same PPG over 26 games would be 36, rounded to the nearest point. So hey, maybe 37 points would be enough, or only 6 wins/5 wins & 3 draws. Though right now, mid round, 7th place is in flux but a fair estimate is 26 points from 18 games, and this PPG rounds to 38 points over a 26 game season...
I guess the good news (sort of?) is if we make the 6 we will probably be in such good form that we will go all the way and win the toilet seat.
