You really do fancy yourself don't you - so just to increase the anti I'm really enjoying this season and seeing arrogant know nothings like you wriggling makes it all the better still. Ooh look I've just turned 12!

You're just embarrassing yourself.

Don't worry a mod will be along to save him from himself soon enough.

Just got this from Vasty's shoulder.

Leeds starting to make a strong claim now and Wigan / Saints are coming up on the rails just in time for the business end. The big dogs want their yard back.

Any of the other clubs' fans starting to twitch a little?

Getting even more excited as a Wakefield fan if anything. If Hull get their customary loss at Headingley then winning our last two games (Widnes away and Saints at home) would see us at least 4th after 23 rounds which would be fairly remarkable really. If we have four home games in the top 8 then you never know, our only home defeats so far this season have been six points or less so we could make a decent fist of it. Should be a much more interesting end to the season than the last two years though!

I'm just glad we have the cushion that we have to be honest. I've been saying for a while that Wigan will be knocking on the door when they have their players back. Plenty of twists and turns left yet, but I'm still sticking to my prediction a few weeks ago that Wigan will make the 4. I'm not sure about Saints though, but still not counting them out. It's going to be an interesting next couple of months

Me. Even though they can't really catch us I have a feeling we will meet one of them in play offs which worries me. I'm a realist and even though we are the form/best team in the league currently I know meeting one of these on the play offs could end it for us. If Wigan didn't have their injuries they would be somewhere up there with us and Saints know how to play when it matters.

Think only one of Wigan and Saints could make the 4 but both have a lot of work to do. I'd tip Wigan as the more likely but they'll both still have to win 7 out of 9 imo to have enough points (that would take them to 35). Saints away form is dreadful (1 win from 10) so can't seem them making it with it likely that they'll have 4 away games in the Top 8's.

Salford look like they're sliding with the distraction of the cup probably. 4 losses from their last 5 league games and the small matter of Cas away this week. If they were to get to Wembley then they definitely won't make the top 4. A semi final defeat and they might just be able to turn their league form around.

Wakey have a big two weeks to stake their claim. Away to Widnes and at home to Saints the final round. Neither straightforward but both winnable and the latter game vs Saints especially one they should be looking to win if they want to be a top 4 team.

Think this sums it up perfectly for me atm



As for us Wakey fans wanting approval from other fans think Vasty is right we don't care what you all think, Where too busy stopping our Nose Bleeds





Up The Trin

The next few months should be really exciting watching all the twists and turns, Cas should romp top spot but the rest all have a shot at the top 4. If the crowds don't flock to this Super 8 series they never will.

Leeds are a banker for the top 4.

I'd be twitchy if I was a Salford fan. The cup already looks like it's becoming a distraction and if they lose the semi their season could implode.

The rest have nothing to lose.

Anything could happen below Cas who look certs for LLS. going to be a far better S8's this year, and how it was meant to be.

Still think Cas will bottle it. Leeds will take the title this year. Its written in the stars, given how Hardaker has treated the Leeds fans who stood by him during his troubled times

If Wigan get in top 4 I think they will win it.

Not really most on here had us to finish bottom and trading places with HKR our season has been a roaring success top four pretty much all season and semi-finalists in the challenge cup, not to mention secured a top eight spot weeks ago.

Surprised at so many writing off Cas's GF chances. It might need a bit of a stagger over the line compared with their rampaging start - bit like Leeds in 15 - but they're still more than capable IMO

If Powell has the luxury of being able to pick from a full squad then there is a 50/50 chance whoever the opposition is.
If Moors and Cook can get back quick and we stay injury free then great but if not and we start picking injurys up then the odds in my opinion will be drastically reduced in favour of the opposition.

According to DP cook should be back next week against Catalans. Moors hopefully for the first game in the 8's.

I wouldn't write off Cas' GF chances but obviously until you get over the line in playoffs they'll always be doubts about whether you'll be successful as seen with Warrington and teams like Hudds and Catalans who just seemed to roll over come playoff time.

Obviously Cas are going to win the LLS, probably with at least 4 or 5 games to spare. How they manage those 'dead rubbers' will be important. Give some players a game off to try keep them fresh but you don't want to over-do it as you want to take momentum into the playoffs so you don't want scrappy performances and defeats.

The Super 8's will be genuinely interesting this year. It's a no brainer to say Cas will be top 4, Leeds are strong favourites to make it and Huddersfield possibly have too much to do but shouldn't be ruled out either. As for the rest it's there for the taking.

The next couple of games could define how the table looks. It could bring Hudds, Wigan and Saints into touching distance of the top 4 before the split if they win, but lose and they could all leave themselves too much to make up in the S8s

Think next week is the big one with Hull v Hudds, Wigan v Leeds, Wakey vs Saints.

Those playing catchup need to win those games.

Oh I just love the first few pages of this thread

Shows how unpredictable it has been. No one got anywhere near in the predictions.

Salford out of the top 4 now and could be out of the Cup next week too.

Leeds picking up injuries (or resting a few?).

If Saints beat Wakefield there's going to be one hell of a scramble for those top 4 places...

Can Cas keep motoring or do they take their foot off the gas and risk losing momentum?
