Can't see Warrington beating KR away.
Can't see Catalan winning again all season.

Sounds stupid but I think it will be us and Bradford in the 8 unless Catalan beat Wakefield.

It is very hard for any team to win in France, more so in late Aug!!! Would not be suprised to see them beat us!

I think Catalan will beat Wakefield.
If Leeds beat Saints then Saints will have nothing to play for in their final game at home to Catalan.

So as I see it Catalan 7th, Cas 8th.

Having thought for most of the season and especially the last few weeks that we'd need 28 points to make the play-offs I now think we could scrape in with only 26 pts.

That said I've just read that Quins have now won only 1 of their last 10 games. Add to that they've not been especially good at home whilst Cas have won 9 from 12 away from home this season and logic suggests we should get a win at Quins.

I started looking at Bradfords prospects (of making the play offs) after they walloped Catalans this weekend. It looks quite possible they will win their final 2 games so provided Wire and Quins win no more than 1 of theirs the only fly in the ointment for the Bulls is Catalans who need 1 more win to ensure finishing above them.

I can't see Saints losing their final league game to Catalans - they'll either go into it having beaten Leeds and so needing something to ensure top spot or will have lost to Leeds so will want a win to improve their form going into play-offs.

That said the Catalans-Wakey game looks as though it could go either way!

I'm reasonably confident Cas will make play-offs, if they beat Quins it'll probably be in 7th. Other place will probably be Catalans or Bradford.

I can see a 1st round trip to Wakey for us in the play-offs...

Have you seen the odds on the grand final winner?

Warrington are bigger favourites to win the grand final than both us, and also Wakefield who are already in the play offs! Tony Smith is a good coach but he can't add points to their total by magic.

40/1 - Warrington
50/1 - Wakefield
66/1 - Cas

What are the odds on Bradford winning? Might be worth a 50p bet?

Certainly think they will win on saturday but then in the Play offs, you just have to think how much Leeds and Saints will turn it on and wont lets any slip ups occur but worth a bet
