ESPN NRL expert Brett Kimmorley looks at round 24 and says alarm bells would be going off at some teams as the pressure intensifies leading into this years finals series.1. Form lines of the top teams are a concern.The Sharks, the Storm and the Cowboys - probably not the best time of year to be in a form slump.The Storm have only lost one game but have been pushed over the past few weeks and are just surviving. I think it is pretty important for those sides, with two games to go after this weekend, to find some form and self-belief because the longer they struggle the more confidence it gives their rivals because they dont fear them as much anymore.Its a huge weekend for these three clubs - Id prefer to be going into the semi-finals in form rather than scraping in if I genuinely think my team is a chance of winning the premiership.I think its huge for the Sharks more than the other two because the Cowboys will have confidence from last years premiership success and the Storm continue to surprise everyone and Craig Bellamy are all experienced in big game football.Cronulla are the only side that havent been around semi-final football too often over the past few years and last year they got a fair spanking in North Queensland so I think re-gaining some confidence is more important for the Sharks than the other two.2.?Panthers and Titans need to keep winning.They both played some wonderful football last weekend - the Penrith second half when they scored 36 unanswered points was amazing football.?Penrith and Gold Coast are full off kids looking for second chances and the fact they are oozing confidence is huge for both sides.dddddddddddd I like the brand of football both these clubs play - they pass the ball around a lot, they back themselves and the best part about it is they wont die wondering.Im looking forward to seeing if they can both go on a bit of a run because I think it will enormous to get to the semi-finals and have eight teams that, on their day, can win the competition.From what I saw from Penrith and what I continually see from Gold Coast - I think they could defy the theory that youve got to be a top four side to win the Grand Final.3. Canberra are the hottest team in the NRL.I really enjoy watching Canberra Raiders because thyre the hottest team of the competition.Theyve beaten team one and team two comfortably, they have the biggest forward pack in the NRL, theyre super-fit and Ricky Stuart has them humming and full of belief.Theyre out of the media spotlight in Canberra too - theyre not going to come under any pressure down there, great halves, Joey Leilua, Jordan Rapana, Jack Wighton and Jarrod Croker is a point-scoring freak.Theyre the real deal on paper and obviously the hottest team in the competition at the moment. Rickys got that passion back, theyre playing a great brand of football, they believe in themselves and its not the bash and barge, five hit-ups and kick to the corner type grinding footy.
