Sunbury Tigers (20 points, +308)
The defending champions face two of the bottom three sides in the remaining two games and should win both.
Casey Warriors (20 points, + 291)
The Warriors play the VRL’s bottom two teams in the last two rounds, so don’t rule them out from gaining enough points to knock the Tigers off top spot.
NW Wolves (16 points, +148)
The Wolves will automatically bank two points courtesy of the bye in the penultimate round, so their defence of third spot might come down to a mouth-watering clash with the Werribee Bears in the last round.
Werribee Bears (16 points, +82)
The Bears can finish as high as third or as low as sixth. If they win both remaining games against Doveton Steelers and North West Wolves, they will finish third. If they only beat the Steelers, they will play in the finals. If they lose both games, they will tumble out of the four.
Doveton Steelers (16 points, -1)
The Steelers will make the finals if they win their remaining games against Werribee Bears and Altona Roosters.
Altona Roosters (14 points, +52)
The Roosters have to beat both the Sunbury Tigers and Doveton Steelers and hope other pieces fall into place.
