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.

Can’t see Wigan winning another game tbh.
Should be a good scrap between the other 4 for 3 places.

After the events in Hull this evening, 4th place looks realistic, probably decided in the final scheduled game against HKR...

57.13 WIG - CAS, WAR, HFC, CAT
55.00 LEE - WAK, HFC, STH, HKR
52.63 CAS - WIG, SAL, HKR, WAR
50.00 HKR - HUD, LEI, CAS, LEE
50.00 HFC - SAL, LEE, WIG, WAK

We'll win 3 of these and secure 4th. Wigan will free fall out of the six. #mysticmeg #surebet

I think people are writing Wigan off far too quickly, Wigan have put 50 points on Leigh and beat Salford in August. I don’t think they’ll do anything in the play offs but will make the top 6, they are too far ahead for both a Hull side and Cas to catch them imo with lots of clubs in the mix playing each other.

The next few weeks could be more interesting than the play offs.

Completely in our own hands now.
Can only see Wigan winning one game out of four.
I can see Cas winning most of theirs.
It will come down to our games against HFC and HKR.
Very interesting…..

There is no gimmies in the last 4, Wakey have found some form just in time to play us and they always up their game against Leeds, their GF every year.
FC who knows which of their teams is going to play because they certainly dont
Stains, probably a loss but will be pleased if we give them a good game
KR is another 50/50
So while we could pick up 3 wins, we could also lose 3

I think we can snatch a win at Saints this year

so do I but I didn't want to say it out loud

God if we only had Gale and Mik fit for Saints I'd be very confident indeed. At some point we're going to absolutely shock them, they've no idea what's coming with this team. We almost did it in that cup tie and I'd love to see us play them with a proper team playing.

I am scarred when it comes to Wigan but reckon they will make the 6. Would not surprise me if they edged Cas today.

Last match for Wigan is home to Catalan, by then Catalan may want to rest players rather than have a brutal game, so they may have an easier game.

If you look at our injuries and compare it to Saints.
It would be something like them missing:

Percival = Sutcliffe yes it`s stretching it a bit I know.
Naiqama = Hurrell
Lomax = Gale
Walmsley = Oledzki
Thompson = Mellor who is better than Thompson imo

We also have Walker missing but Myler is playing better so I avoided that one.

Take that lot out of the Saints team and any other team for that matter and I doubt they make the top four.

Coote
Makinson Simm Welsby Grace
Fages Dodd
Walmsley* Roby LMS
Mata’utia Bentley
Knowles

Paasi Amor Batchelor Smith

*sorry can’t agree Walmsley would be equivalent to Tetavano in a squad by squad comparison; I have taken Lees out instead but happy to switch around. Similarly we have put Simm straight in but I think in a long term injury situation we would be more likely to play Mata’utia there with Batchelor in the back row and then Wingfield on the bench.

You sure were not making the top 4 with that team?

59.09 WIG - WAR, HFC, CAT
52.38 LEE - HFC, STH, HKR
50.00 CAS - SAL, HKR, WAR
47.22 HFC - LEE, WIG, WAK
47.06 HKR - LEI, CAS, LEE
