Form says Huddersfield will finish level on points with us and it will go down to points F/A.
We won just 7/15 games (46%) against the other top 8 sides in the first 23 games.
If we win the same percentage of games in the Super 8s we only have two more wins in us all season, that puts us on 35 points.
Can Huddersfield win 4/5 to finish the regular season? On their current run of form (they are 11/12), yes, and one is against us!
If we win 2/5 we will be on 35 points. If they win 4/5 including one against us, they’ll finish on 35 points.
At present there’s a 339 points F/A advantage to us over Hudds. That’s a lot to turn around and what might keep us in fourth.
Of course we might lose another more than I predict. We were actuality just 4/11 (36%) against the other top 6 sides in the first 23 games. That run of form might just leave us with one more win in the Super 8s and we’d finish on 33 points.
It’s going to go to the Wire unless we turn some form around from out of nowhere.
