How is your team set for the run towards the NRL 2016 finals series

ROUND 23 kicks off a mini-playoff series to determine the final two teams in the eight. We take a look at your team’s run to September here!

IT’S the mini-playoff series that will determine the final two teams in the NRL top eight.

During the final four weeks of the season, the teams sitting seventh to 10th on the ladder will largely battle it out among themselves to decide who will reach the finals.

Penrith, the Warriors and Wests Tigers are on 24 points each heading into this weekend’s clashes, with Gold Coast a further point behind in 10th.

If that wasn’t tight enough, all four teams will face each other across the next three weeks in a series of pivotal clashes.

The action starts this Saturday with the Titans taking on the in-form Tigers at Campbelltown.

In round 24, it’s the Tigers again facing a finals-chasing rival when they travel to Penrith to take on the Panthers.

If the picture isn’t any clearer by then, round 25 the following week will pit all four teams against each other, with the Warriors hosting the Tigers and the Titans welcoming the Panthers to Robina.
