With their draw in Perth and CCM's win, means Wanderers slim top 6 hopes are officially ended.
So Nix will play a WSW team hopefully a bit flat, and maybe even resting a few first choice players. Though they will have some anger after losing narrowly at Eden Park, when they really should have at least drawn that game.
Only Macarthur (7th, 32 pts) and Sydney (8th, 31 pts ) each with 2 left can catch the Nix now (6th, 36 pts)
MAC - Newcastle (H) & WSW (H)
SFC - Victory (H) & Roar (A)
Macarthur denied Nix making top 6, last season by 1 pt. Revenge this season?
A win against the Wanderers will see it happen. Actually if Macarthur lose to the Jets tonight, then only SFC can catch the Nix, and they would need to win both their remaining games to do so. Chin up, fingers crossed, Nix sitting in the box seat.
