IMO i believe that the current top 6 sides will stay in these positions come the seasons end,although not in these exact positions
Saints
Rhinos
Wigan
Warrington
Castleford
Huddersfield

So which finishing position do you think will reap the desired rewards for your club?

I want one of the big clubs to take the desired 5th place and see how easy it is to win from there as everyone deemed it the easy option when the Rhinos won it twice from there in 2011 and 2012

I personally believe that the GF winner will be between 3 clubs Wigan,Warrington or the Rhinos
thoughts guys.....

Want 1st, but top 2 will do for a home playoff tie.

There isn't too many big games before the cup final but quite a few in the last 3 rounds. If we beat Cas this week I think it'll be them and Hudds who have to come from 5th/6th.

top two! home games will be important this year as everyone is round about the same level

Ideally finish 1st.

We still have St Helens, Wigan Warriors, Castleford Tigers. Aswell as London Broncos, Hull FC, Salford Red Devils, Bradford Bulls.

Winning all these games is imperative to finishing top.

Don't think we'll finish top (or even 2nd maybe) if we progress to the CC Final.

I want us to come top, however winning our seventh from seventh sounds good also

Want to finish top of course.
But think 5th
Wigan
Warrington
Saints
Cas
Leeds
Huddersfield

First or second for the home advantage.

Definitely want top 2 but if we win the CC I reckon we will finish 3rd or 4th.

I hope not winning at wakey,and losing what should have been a certain two points does not come back and haunt us.

That is the only game where we have dropped points against a side we should be beating. Only having 1 slip up is good going. Saints & Wigan have had a lot more.

Optimistically 1st
Realistically 3rd

Want, and for me have to, finish 1st.

Personally though can see us ending up 4th. Can see us losing another 3 games yet, and would say Thursday is a vital win to get in the top 4.

Losing another 3 against who? And the rest to not lose many?

Wigan away for a start. I went to Salford and Hull on Saturday night and in current form we wouldn't beat either of those, I definitely think we will come a cropper at Salford.

Then you can pick one of Cas on Thursday, and Saints at home.

Maybe Leeds will quickly turn it around though and get back to early season form, in which case I would agree with you asking the question. However, personally, other than Burrow I just don't think the return of players will make that big a difference, we still have problem areas.

Wigan:

Hull
Bradford
=#FF0000Salford
Hull KR
Widnes
=#FF0000Leeds
Warrington


Saints:

London
Widnes
Hull
Wakefield
=#FF0000Leeds
Warrington
Huddersfield

Leeds:

=#FF0000Cas
Salford
Bulls
London
=#FF0000Saints
Wigan
Hull

Cas:

=#FF0000Leeds
Hull
London
=#FF0000Warrington
Bradford
Wakefield
=#FF0000Catalan

Red obviously highlights potential loses.
Each of the above teams imo have their equal share of potential losses. Leeds playing Bulls followed by London and having players coming back fresh could be a huge advantage.

Agree we have a couple of losses in us, but so do the other teams. If we can only lose another 2, which I firmly believe is possible we can get 2nd at least.

Losing 2 will do, it's if we lose 3, which is what I was saying above. And on Thursday for me is vital, as that loss could have a bigger effect.

Thursday is vital, as is the week after against Salford. Both will be tough and without a doubt we're going to have to step up. But I think Mac has been very patient of late, with an eye firmly on this run and the Semi final. Kylie, Kirke, JJB & Hardaker all hopefully to return this week. We will be a much better side.
One thing I have just noticed is the run in Warrington have:

Widnes
Wakey - IN FORM
Catalan - AWAY
Cas
Huddersfield
Saints
Wigan

No chance of them taking a top 4 spot from us.

Only risk for Warrington there in current form is the last two. So again, it comes down to Leeds not losing more than 2.

And they're going to be on current form for the next 8 games? I think not. Cas will have a good dig at them as will Hudds.

Top 2 for home advantage.

Finishing top means nothing.

We were awful against Hull and still won without getting into 2nd gear they are crap ,as for Salford they still cant defend irrespective of a couple of decent results.
HKR arrived having destroyed the ST's so on "current form" we shouldn't have won that either yet look what happened again without hitting anything like our best.
I don't doubt we will lose 1 or 2 more games maybe even 3 given the fixtures and the CC but those 2 are the least of our concerns imo.

I said we will come a cropper at Salford. I said that having seen them and how they are improving, not from reading reports on an internet site.

I know what yer said and I'm still saying they can't defend 2 wins beating an out of sorts Giants whilst a very good win and a sh## Hull team don't change that view.
Like I said on "current form" HKR should have battered us after all they'd just destroyed ST's who sit top it's not Wigan or Wire away with Hardaker ,Burrow & Sinfield back i'll take us to beat them 99 times out of a 100 irrespective of what you saw & WITHOUT reading a report on the internet.
