Day of upsets opens NRL's top-eight race
« on: July 15, 2018, 09:12:23 PM »
The NRL's top-eight race is alive after a Sunday of upsets saw Brisbane's gap over the chasing pack of Canberra and Wests Tigers reduced to just four points.

After the eight finals teams looked set a fortnight ago, Brisbane's 26-6 humbling at the hands of the Warriors on Sunday left them on 22 competition points, still likely needing three wins to wrap up a playoffs spot.

Canberra and Wests Tigers are on 18 points, likely needing to win five of their last seven after the Raiders flogged North Queensland 38-12 on Saturday and the Tigers kept their season alive with a shock 20-16 win over St George Illawarra.
