Stats Insider has provided every NRL club's schedule difficulty for the final five rounds of the season.

The opposition's team rating and home ground advantage are the main factors in grading the difficulty of the fixture, as seen here by Stats Insider.

The ratings factor is an aggregation of all the matches the team is yet to play.

The Warriors have the hardest run home with a rating of 2.1, including away clashes against the Roosters and Canberra and a home clash against the Rabbitohs.

The Raiders' run is the second toughest at 1.6, with a home clash against the Roosters and a trip to Melbourne to take on the Storm.

Manly have the third most difficult run, visiting Canberra in round 23 before facing Melbourne in round 24.

The Eels have the easier schedule with a -1.6 rating, facing just two sides in the top eight for the rest of the way (Brisbane and Manly).

The Dragons have the second easiest run at -1.2 with three of their last five games at home.

The Knights and Wests Tigers are tied for the third easiest run home at -1.1, which could go a long way in determining their finals prospects.
