Illawarra v New Zealand Feb 9
This has the potential to be a dead rubber, but believe it or not Illawarra a still a mathematical chance for 4th. Mathematical. Brisbane and Adelaide would need to have some big losses and Illawarra some big wins, but hey never say never.
New Zealand are definitely out. Adelaide snuffed out their candle earlier in the round like a Mossad assassin taking out a former SS guard. They are along for the ride for the rest of the season and are relegated to the upset makers.
Lots of pride on the line, so this game is hard to chose. I'm thinking Illawarra's last home game might bring out the best in the Steel City, but New Zealand might just be angry enough for a W.
I'm leaning towards those Steel City boys to get one last hurrah
