TEAM PLAYED POINTS STILL TO PLAY Otago 8 29 Counties (h) Manawatu (a) Wellington 7 28 Manawatu (a) Taranaki (h) Waikato (h) North Harbour 7 19 Canterbury (a) Ta$man (h) Northland (a) Manawatu 7 15 Wellington (h) BOP (a) Otago (h) BOP 8 13 Manawatu (h) Shield Snorters (a) Northland 8 9 Southland (a) Harbour (h) Southland 8 6 Northland (h) Ta$man (a) Semi Finals
Harbour and Manawatu both have a relatively hard run in.
BOP might be able to squeeze in despite having less games to play?
Wooden Spoon
If Northland can beat Southland this round then Southland will finish last.. but it is in Invercargill
-
hopefully our win will have broken the shackles, and even if we don't tip over Southland, we get NH in Whangarei on the back of their 3 in 8 days as well, so possibly a 2nd bite at trying to get off the foot of the table.
All bar 1 year so far, 19 points has been the 4th place
-
@KiwiPie yeah based on 19 points being the cut off, if we finish with 2 BP wins, we could theoretically make it too, although Manawatu & NH should both finish higher than that....the good and bad thing about a 7 team play off system I guess
-
@JK said in NPC Div 2 - Final rounds:
Dunno....could be a back to back just like the mighty harbour side of 2012-2013
nah, I prefer the plan from @Pepe so don't you go ruining a good plan!

Manawatu, NH & BOP going for the last two spotsNorthland can still escape the wooden spoon. In fact if Southland get nothing against Ta$man, Northland would just need two bonus points against NH
-
@KiwiPie It's it's even more bizarre that it is likely you will be in the semis with that record. (3/8) as Shield Snorters are dreadful.
BOP has look pretty good to watch for the most. I reckon yuo're going to towel them

Oops! I didn't see that Harbour is also playing Northland for 5 points
