Guarenteed Play offs now : Thu Aug 11, 2011 11:46 pm  

just looked at the table, 10 points clear of Barrow and they have 3 games left so now we are guarenteed to be in them where can we finish??

looking at the table, we are above Sheffield now but they have 2 games in hand, there next 2 games are Barrow and Batley no guarenteed win there.

Widnes have Fev in both there last games and are 5 points in front of us. Dont think they will win in Fev best chance might be at home,

Batley have Toulouse at home they should win and Sheffield away a tough game. we are 4 points behind them

I reckon we can finish 4th, Batley will beat Toulouse at home and that will put them out of reach of us.

4th is a very realistic target looking at the remaining fixtures, both of ours being winnable games

Not a chance of fourth. Likelihood is we'll finish in fifth.

I've not done the mathematics on it, but when you say "Not a chance of fourth". Do you mean we cannot finish fourth no matter what, or do you mean its very very unlikely that results will fall our way?

4th or 5th means play same team just difference being home or away? Is that correct?

Last weeks loss is looking ever more important.

I thought 5th play at home to 6th during the first round.

Was hoping 3rd play 6th and 4th play 5th, home advantage to be decided by the team finishing highest, has that changed, probably a sign that weve been spolit in 1st and 2nd for a couple of years now If its 3rd v 4th that would seem unfair on those 2 side?

I've just checked web site and its defo 3rd v 6th and 4th v 5th, giving home advantage to the two highest placed.

Could we end up going to fev again at some point, its sods law.

Fev will beat Leigh at home to make the GF.

We'll probably be away to Batley, Sheff or Widnes.

we're the only team in top 6 to have beaten Leigh and fev in their back gardens, a fact that's got the rest pooping their pants...

so we could yet have another home game if secure 5th and play 6th, assuming we beat 4th and 6th beat 3rd, its not impossible.
Either way if we wanna win were gonna have to go to LSV or POR to get to HJ
