steve mackintosh system
the number below represents the position the team had finished at the end of the regular season

Stage 1:
1v 8- 1 hosts
2v7 -2 hosts
3v6-3hosts
4v5-4hosts

top two highest ranked winners move onto stage 3

Stage 2:
3rd highest ranked winner v 2nd highest ranked loser
4th highest ranked winner v highest ranked loser

Stage 3: Semi Finals
Highest ranked stage 1 v winner of 3rd highest ranked winner v 2nd highest ranked loser
2nd ranked stage1 winner v 4th highest ranked winner v highest ranked loser

Stage 4: Winner of the two semi finals

    Use the NRL ladder predictor on the nrl.com.au website.
    And the system used is the Mcintyre not macintosh.
