The New Zealand Warriors are favorites for the minor premiership, with several teams vying for playoff positions.
The New Zealand Warriors are the new predicted minor premiers, with a pair of home games leaving their fate in their own hands after the Sydney Roosters lost over the weekend.
The Warriors, Roosters and Panthers are in a three-way race for the minor premiership a fortnight from the end of the season as the top eight takes shape.
With just 16 games remaining, the Dolphins, Sharks and Knights are now all locked in to the finals, while the Rabbitohs, Cowboys, Bulldogs and Sea Eagles remain a hope of closing out the bottom two spots in the top eight.
Casting an eye further down the ladder, the Dragons have all but confirmed their first ever wooden spoon, while the Storm and Raiders who lose over the weekend both had their finals hopes extinguished for good.
