Warriors fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as our Top Eight dreams are still alive - although just barely.

The 42-20 win over the Panthers moves us into ninth place, but with only one round to go we'll need a few things to go our way next week - including a win over the Eels. The Warriors, now, will be counting the cost of their two losses to the Rabbitohs, and last week's poor performance against the Dragons.

The Knight's upset win over the Storm certainly didn't help our cause, and we'd be sitting in eighth place if the Storm had won. Never mind - we'll just have to make it the hard way.

For the Warriors to make the Eight, we really need the Bulldogs to beat the Raiders (which is a long shot), and the Broncos have to beat the Knights in Newcastle. If the Knights win, it's all over for 2008.

C'mon Broncos, do us a favour...

The Warriors will travel to Parramatta for their last game, and with our away record this year, we're clearly not going into the game as favourites.

We may also have to pay without Wade McKinnon, who could face a suspension after mouthing off at the ref. Wade has always been outspoken, but he may pay the price this time - the NRL don't look kindly on players who show dissent towards the officials.

If he is unavailable, Lance Hohia will slot back into fullback, which isn't the worst thing that could happen.

This weekend will be an exhilarating weekend of rugby league action, with so much riding on the performances of others.

One thing's for sure - it's going to be tense.
