Whose going to get them??

Pos. Name. diff. pts
7 Catalans -45 24
8 Castleford -118 24
9 Warrington -42 22
10 Harlequins RL -42 22
11 Bradford -44 21
12 Hull -106 20

The matches remaining that matter.

Round 26:

Wigan Warriors v Hull FC
Catalans Dragons v Wakefield Wildcats
Harlequins RL v Castleford Tigers
Hull Kingston Rovers v Warrington Wolves
Bradford Bulls v Salford City Reds

Round 17:

Hull FC v Bradford Bulls
St. Helens v Catalans Dragons
Warrington Wolves v Harlequins RL
Castleford Tigers v Celtic Crusaders

IMO

Catalans lose Wakey, but lose to Saints (24 pts)
Cas beat Quins and Celtic (28 pts)
Wire beat Quins but lose to HKR (24 pts)
Quins lose to Cas and Wire (22 pts)
Bulls beat Salford and Hull (25 pts)
Hull lose to Wigan and Bulls (20 pts)

So in conclusion Castleford 7th and Bradford to sneak into 8th for me

Les Catalans and Castleford.

Time to start a stop Bradford campaign for the credibility of the top 8 system's sake.

agree with Statto

Cas just going through a shakey patch and could do again what they did 10 years ago

Us as in St Helens?

Nicely outed.

I copy and pasted it from another forum, didnt read it.

OWNED.COM

This time, yes Ill agree.

That's what you'd like us to believe you thieving scouse git.



Only in a backwater like St Helens could round 17 follow round 26.

so you have tried to rip someone elses opinions off? oh dear, what would ashley say?

Probably " STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME"

Joke much

Castleford and Catalans to make up the remaining spots, can see the dragons beating Wakefield at home.

Catalans and Harlequins.

You bring it on yourself lad!!!

Exactly my thoughts when he messaged me telling me where Gibson was going last night

Personally i hope the Bulls get in the play-offs and win the grand final

No grammatical need to use the word 'personally' at the start of your sentence.

The sentence would have stood fine without it.

I won't start on the actual context of what you've wrote though.

Techinally we could have a team that finishes 13 points behind the league leaders.

Wins 12 games and loses 14 in the league

yet wins 4 games at the end of the season to end up with 16 wins to 12 loses

and then be called champions, i mean if that doesnt appeal to the public to get people interested in Rugby League then i dont know what does.

old on, maybe if we had this in Football Liverpool might actually be champions.

I'll take your calculations to be correct, I can't be bothered verifying.
Welcome to the PlayOffs! Thats the nature of the game, thats what all SL clubs have signed up to.
But whats the realistic chance it would happen? And for those long odds it would be a hell of an achievement.
Its about peaking at the right time, Leeds should be thankful of the playoffs, its helped us win back to back titles.

I totaly agree, but in a 14 team league finishing in the bottom half should be no reward.

it should have been kept at 6

Were you asleep when you read 'em?



Technically yes that could happen (but on the wild assumption you're talking about this season and Bradford's finishing position) the nearest they can finish to Leeds or St Helens is 15 points behind with a high probability of it ending up 17 points.



How do Bradford win four play off fixtures while at the same time managing a two game reduction in their loss column?



That's the system and as pointed out the chances of Bradford reaching the Grand Final from 8th ought to be minimal. They should go out first V Wigan the same as they have the two previous seasons.

It's taken directly from the Loiner4Life book of Mathematical equations.

Cos I know, and when it comes out youll know im right. Same about Worrall, and about Lee Smith too...

How do you feel about the fact that your actions are driving players away from our club?

.... not.

Because I know people im driving them away? not really...
