Wire beat Catalans today which gives the Frenchies no chance of catching us.
Wire have Wakey, Wigan, Leigh and Widnes left. We have Wire, Saints, Widnes and Cas. Could clinch that 8th spot if we beat them next week.

Don't forget Warrington are on -183 and we are +50

So basically Warrington need to win their remaining games by a lot and we need to lose our
remaining games by a fair few for them to overtake us in the table.

Basically win (or draw) on next week and top 8 guarenteed.

It would need to be29 point win to them and loss to us every time.
It's not actually bad for us if Warrington do well.....assuming we beat them.
It keeps Wigan any from us.

Huddersfield are the key team. They play all our rivals and they are on a roll.

Huddersfield on a roll! Don't get me started about that. The start of the roll was aided by the RFL allowing them to postpone the second fixture of the recent 'double up' weekend, because of the football team they ground-share with were playing a game in London -should've made Hudds/Sts play on the Tuesday.

Didn't get to the Hull game but quite a few of the Hull fans have very complimentary about the way we played & all pointed to the turning point in the game which CC has also highlighted.

What I'm saying is we can beat Wire next week & continue to,look up rather than down!

5 games ago I would have been confident of a win against wire but with the injury situation and the fixture pile up of recent weeks I think its a much more even game.
Course we can win it but there doesn't seem to be as much slack as there was.
Despite their team sheet showing a load of big game players, they're not really pulling their weight and haven't done all season, so its a bit up in the air this one I think.

Not to mention they 'appear' to have their favourite (home grown) referee nearly every week!!!

Mamo is out for about 6 weeks, he will be a big miss Huddersfield on the run in. Starting to look like a good signing for them

We are in fifth position so why are we talking about clinching 8th?. Only at Wakefield.

On the subject of Warrington, it doesn't matter how they play, it's about what we can do to them.
Having seen the highlights of their last few games, it looks as though defending kicks aimed at Atkins is their main try scoring "move".
IF our forwards do their job AND we can keep Atkins quiet, we have a real chance in this one, plus, home advantage so, we can all play our part in getting Trinity back to winning ways.

Agreed, but after many years of looking over your shoulder it seems strange to be looking up.

we need to win this I am not confident Warrington will lose anymore games.

Why, has Agar left

By all accounts Catalan were shocking and it wasn't a convincing win for Wolves.

Seems so. Why someone would assume Warrington will win their next 4 games on the basis
of this is stupid really, oh, wait

It wasn't, Catalans couldn't hit a barn door from 6 inches, last seasons Wire would have put a cricket score on em.

Not this season though, but look at the team sheet, you can't discount them from putting a decent game together.

This is a game we need to stop the rot in.

Warrington will come to turn us over with everything they have or they more or less condemn themselves to bottom 4, and pretty much no chance of any hope of a late surge.

With us having cas up next and saints looming behind us if we want to make any sort of dent in the super 8s this game has a lot of significance.

Correct, anyone any idea of what bodies we may have back for Sat?

I reckon if the same team can do for 80 what they did for 60 against the codheads, that'll turn Warrington over.

No idea, probably similar to hull line up.

I seem to recall Chester mention that huby picked up an injury. Don't think fifita is far away either but I wouldn't risk him if he's not 100%.

The players can clearly do the business. We had the beating of hull but for some composure and mental toughness in the last quarter.

I will be nervous Saturday but I have confidence we can put in a performance vs wore.

Huby England & Batchelor all took knocks so unfortunately not likely to be same 17 or if it is players not fully fit playing

Hadley should be available for this one though, which he obviously wasn't against Hull.
Need at least one of Huby/England to be fit or we're struggling for size imo. Leaves us with Hirst, Walker, Arona may have to cover prop, Annakin.

Hadley can come in for batch no probs but losing any of Huby/England with fifita already out would be a loss.

Where does it say officially that any players mentioned on here won be fit. The amount of times this forum has been wrong is truly enormous.

The 3 players referred to were all specifically mentioned by Chester in his post match press conference as having picked up injuries
