Itโ€™s the home stretch, the final game that decides your ultimate NRL Finals fate. Though we already know seven of this yearโ€™s eight combatants, every spot between second and eighth is still up for grabs!

So with 80 minutes of the regular season to go, what does your team need to go their way?

7. NORTH QUEENSLAND

Best finish: 2nd
Just winning against the Panthers wonโ€™t be enough now โ€“ the Cowboys also need the Sharks to lose to Newcastle to return to the place they held for most of the year.

Other option: 3rd
If the Cowboys lose but Parramatta win, a far superior for-and-against margin will keep North Queensland ahead of the Eels and set up a trip to Cronulla.

Worst finish: 4th
A loss for the Cowboys leaves them open to a further slide, with an inferior points differential meaning that if the Cowboys lose and Melbourne secure victory over Parramatta, the Cowboys will finish fourth and face the Panthers in consecutive weeks.
