I also think that it depends on which teams make it through to the semi's/final of the challenge cup?

I actually believe our best chance of finishing top of the pile is probably getting beat at Bradford in the next round of the cup!

Their last 7 games have been against Crusaders twice, Catalan who are bottom of the league, Wakefield who have been in free fall since Brough left and Hull KR at home in super league. In the cup they have played Dewsbury and Leigh.

They havn`t been exactly stretched have they ? Lets see where they are after they have played Saints, a currently in form Leeds compared to the last one they played and Wigan away. I don`t think they will win one of those games if all those sides are close to full strength.

But we're half way through the season and every club has played each other once (plus the Magic weekend games) so the league table is a reasonable guide to the first half of the season, not just the last seven games.

Let's be honest Bradford should have beaten Leeds at Headingley. As I said they have been pretty luck with injuries this season, I think I read somewhere that they had only used 20 players so far, which is amazing considering how physically demanding the game is.

I'd still like to see us parade the League Leaders Shield around the HJ/The Stoop last game of the season though.

I'd love to finish top. I don't care whether it's the hub cap or not. In fact, I'd rather finish top than win the Challenge Cup this year. Grand Final winners would be my number 1 wish, of course.

That is very true.
