The pointy end of the season is coming up. The last few weeks of the regular season where every team is giving it their all, week in week out. Every side is trying to finish as high in the standings as possible, attempting to make finals and gain a home ground advantage.
However, that's not all. The coach doesn't walk in and simply tell the players "we want to make finals", each team has specific goals tailored to the way they play game in order to make it as far as possible in the competition. We're going to look at every team's situation and dissect what they want to do and what they need to do in order to hoist that cup at the end of the season.
Greater Western Sydney Giants
The Giants have pushed through many obstacles throughout the season. Missing players due to suspension and injury is what cause this very promising team to be mid-table fighting weekly to secure a spot in the top 8. The Giants however, with the list they have, they'll look to make it further than just a team that 'scrapes into the top 8'.
With a lot of their top-tier talent including Toby Greene, Brett Deledio and Tom Scully on the sideline, the Giants will aim to have their team at full strength for a lengthy finals campaign. The Giants have made it deep into the finals the past two seasons and therefore have an idea of what needs to be done to win it all. Leon Cameron will look to build on their past performances and not only make it far into the finals this season, but attempt to win the premiership.
