wire- wigan, wakey, kr, quins 22

cas- leeds, wigan ,quins, celtic 24

cats - salford hull bradford wakey saints 20

quins - bradford salford hull cas wire 22


make of that what you will, but i reckon 26 points is a play off spot with all teams playing each other quite a bit 28 definate

They all look like 2 wins for me, (not gone too deep into the probabilities) with Harlequins probs 3.
If that was the case, then it would be 28 points for 4 teams

But it won't work out that way, not going by this season results.

BTW. I've just read post on the dulls site, where some clever dude has worked out a way where if this, that and t'other was to happen, Bradford would miss the POs by only one point.



Well it tickled me.

In all honesty and the way we've played in the last 4/5 games (barring Cas) there's no reason why we can't win at least three of our remaining games. We have to be confident of beating Celtic at home, Warrington and Catalans are places we know how to win at and Hull KR at home will be a big game too.

It's improtant we beat CC well and then try to go into the playoffs with winning form, we did that in 2004 winning our last five games if I remember correctly.

The last thing we want is to beat CC and then hold onto 8th spot by the skin of our teeth and approach the playoffs on the back of three defeats.

30 points and 6th spot I reckon..

strikes me straight off that wire are important to all this as they are involved and play 3 of the other teams in their last 4 games that leeds win last night looks better by the minute.

We should beat Celtic so if we managed 1 win from out last 3 we will be ok in my book.

All difficult games though.

Wire away
Catalans away
Hull KR home

Think Catalans may be our best bet ...

Gonna be tight, and exciting!

We didn't play that well against Salford and we certainly won't be able let opponents come back at us the way Salford did.

Semi finals next week could shape the rest of our season warrinton v wigan if the wires win then we play them the week before wembley and they could have 1 eye on the final.

even miore reason to want the pies to go down next week!

I think it's the week off, more than anything else, that we need most. The intensity of the Leeds and Saints games must have taken its toll. It's an opportune time for a bit of a breather.

although there has been times when it's been our worst enemy

I agree, but that's usually when we're on a bit of a roll and the break imterrupts the momentum. With all the injuries we have again now, a week off wouldn't be a bad thing - as long as we use it [iconstructively [/ito prepare for Celtics.

You mean a week and a half on the pop will not be the ideal preparation?

I can see Catalan winning at least four of their games.

remember we are light at the moment, we need people back to fitness, hopefully for the last drive towards the play offs.

Why are they at home

all tough, main hope is that KR have some element of little to play for in the last game (ie they can't move up or down)

Don't think that will come into it. They'll want to maintain their momentum for the playoffs, just like we did a few years ago against Cas.

Anyway, bring 'em on. We're in a position to decide matters for ourselves.
