A wild Super Saturday has blown the finals race wide open, with an epic four-team battle for eighth spot developing.
Hours after the Sea Eagles kept their slim top eight hopes alive with a thrashing of the Dolphins, the Roosters were stunned by the lowly Eels.

The Broncos haven’t locked in a top eight spot yet, but will do so with a win over the struggling Knights.
Six teams (Raiders, Storm, Bulldogs, Warriors, Sharks, Panthers) have already booked their ticket to the post-season.
Focusing on the top four race, realistically, only three teams are in the running for fourth spot, those being the Warriors, Sharks and Broncos.
Penrith are a minuscule chance, but will need to win their last two games, hope the Warriors lose both of their remaining games (Eels, Sea Eagles) and have other results fall in their favour.
