The best thing I can say about NRL is that being just over 50% feels like an achievement.
AFL is throwing up fewer upsets, and it may be that the top eight are settled.
Greater Western Sydney should be there, but it’s hard to see who’s going to fall out.
And I think North Melbourne will beat GWS this weekend, as well to make their task all the harder.
