So if you produce a league table on a completely different basis to the one actually being used, we move up. Well that's really useful

Next 2 games are big ones to get us in position. Although I've said lots of times that my main ambition is for next season, if we can make the play-offs this year it's quite open. I do feel on our day we have nobody to fear in this league.

Agree 100%. The frequency at which we're on our day needs to keep improving. But that seems to be happening, touch wood

Indeed it’s so much more enjoyable watching the team this year mainly because i know they’re putting their all into every game

Intriguingly our last regular season game is hull kr. In a 6th v 7th scenario there'd be conspiracy theories galore if we scratched to leave them one game short. And just as many if they did having played the required number.

If Catalans beat KR we go into 6th place tonight we still have a major chance too tangle in play offs.

We’re up to 6 now, and Hull FC are being well beaten by Saints which will drop their percentage down a bit

If we beat cas and hull lose to wire we move up to 5th

I feel like bar maybe saints we can give teams a headache in the playoffs if we qualify. People look down their noses at us because of where we are in table but a lot is circumstantial due to screwed fixtures, we’ve repeatedly been dealt with fixtures against rivals with very little turnaround.

If we can make the 6 I hope we can screw up someone’s title challenge. Saints will win it, 100% nailed on.

Im not so sure about that.Saints will miss Fages in the run in.Can't see Catalan been bullied out of the play offs and they do have some mavericks in there.We will probably know more after this weekends match up.

If we can manage to limp into the play offs ( mathematically percentage wise) and whilst also having with a fully fit squad of players to choose from, Then IMO we could certainly ruffle some feathers in the play offs

We've also never won a Grand Final from 6th so why not in 2021?

Doesn’t really matter where we finish now this year. We are going to be very competitive at the top end next year regardless.
Sadly this season has become a farce, and Liam Watts explained why.
Very eloquently as it happens....!!

Of cause it matters I always want our team to do the best they can. We know it doesn't to you as you have mentioned loads of times. I think and hope you are right about next season.

Well for starters we surely can’t have worse luck with injuries , can we?
The squad looks way stronger in the key half positions too.
We may get a credible season next year, but the way things are going I wouldn’t even guarantee that.....

Well it’s anyone’s guess how the playoffs will shape up now, very tight between4,5,6&7

Have I read this wrong but Hull go above us whilst only winning half of their games, the percentage point system could be really cruel for the 7th place team!

Hull FC currently just in front of us as they’ve had a draw this season early doors v Warrington which keeps them just above us on the PPG calculation

I know which is kind of my point, We have win more than half of our games yet below them in the league, I appreciate there’s probably no fair way of deciding the league this year but it would be annoying to miss out this n something like that

Hull KR - Wak H, Hud A, Lei MW, Cas H, Lee A.
Hull FC - Cas H, Sal A, Lee MW, Wig H, Wak A.
Leeds - Wig A, Wak A, HFC MW, StH A, HKR H.
Castleford - Wak H, HFC A, Wig H, Sal MW, HKR A, War H.

Race for the top six is on.

We still have to play them (and rovers) so the final placings should look fairer than they do currently. I do take your point though

Covid bingo anyone?

With the remaining fixtures and the depleted squad we have, I cannot really see us in all honesty picking many further points up.Unless of course Covid rears its ugly head in the opposition camps. Surely we are due a 24-0 somewhere along the line.

Should be a Saints - Cats final this year in all honesty.
Don’t think winning the title is as meaningful in these crazy times - the competition standard isn’t brilliant anyway plus with the unfairness and disruption…

I’m relaxed about this season. If we can jag a play-offs place fair dos, anything can happen. Really though next year we should be top-4 and really pushing on.

4th place is ours

cats havent had a crazy schedule though. it's been more or less one game a week. theyve had it easy

57.13 Wigan Warriors - Castleford Tigers A, Warrington Wolves MW, Hull FC A, Catalan Dragons H.
55.00 Leeds Rhinos - Wakefield Trinity A, Hull FC MW, St. Helens A, Hull KR H.
53.13 Hull KR - Wakefield Trinity A, Huddersfield Giants A, Leigh Centurions MW, Castleford Tigers H, Leeds Rhinos A.
53.13 Hull FC - Castleford Tigers H, Salford Red Devils A, Leeds Rhinos MW, Wigan Warriors H, Wakefield Trinity A.
50.00 Castleford Tigers - Hull FC A, Wigan Warriors H, Salford Red Devils MW, Hull KR A, Warrington Wolves A.

Dependent on the results, Wigan could drop out still, but they are quite lucky that the teams below play each other.
